Bonjour! I’m Delphine – a Parisian in London
I’m the Co-Founder’s Coach.
Over the years I’ve developed a strong interest on the importance of relationships at work which led me to specialise in working with Co-founders.
Together we re-establish communication and trust and build a thriving business you can feel passionate about again.
“As co-founders we thought we had the same vision but
quickly realised the alignment was strained, together we
worked on our stumbling blocks in creative workshops
resulting in an alignment of our values and mission.“
When a partnership
is dysfunctional
When a partnership works, it’s powerful. Debate, disagreement and even confrontation can be effective and create an energetic work environment.
Conflict is different.
Conflict leaves you tense and stressed. It also undermines your business, leads to lost or mismanaged opportunities and can even cause your business to fail.
65% of startups fail due to a dispute or conflict
between the co-founders.
Conflict creates a negative spiral but it can be reversed.
How would it feel to work as a real team again, working to each other’s strengths, feeling aligned on strategy and celebrating success together.
Dealing with different communication styles is just one of the issues I explore in my podcast The Co-Founders Show.
Imagine:
​
• working as a real team again
• trusting each other & playing on each other’s strengths
• feeling connected to the same mission
• having a fluid and open communication
• being aligned on your strategy and seeing the financial results coming in
• having fun again and celebrating achievements together
• sleeping at night
If your business is floundering, if you
are suffering, it’s time to fix it.
The Process
Clients come to me because they feel tense and worried about the future. Together we work towards building a thriving partnership based on a renewed trust.
Typically this is a 3-month programme with a mix of individual and joint sessions. I use DISC - a powerful science-based insights tool - to look at your communication styles, how you interact and how that plays out in your business decisions.

Following on from the Reconnect programme, with Realign you’ll solidify the foundations of your partnership so you and your business can thrive.
This is a 3-month programme with a mix of individual and joint sessions.

We move our focus to business priorities reviewing your purpose, vision and values.

A partnership is dynamic. Even if you restore trust and re-align on your strategy, it helps to have regular check-ins. By keeping on track we make sure you don’t respond to old triggers or fall back into dysfunctional behaviours.
This is a flexible offer, completely tailored to your needs, ensuring your business and your relationship continues to thrive. We meet at the frequency of your choice:
it could be once a month, once a quarter, or a big review once a year.
The role of co-founder is unique and working within a partnership can require a change in leadership style. I work with individuals on a one-to-one basis to establish your voice and ensure you achieve your personal objectives within the context of your partnership.
Typically this is a 3-month programme focused on your goals and strengthening your position in the partnership. Maybe you’ve fallen out of love with your business. If so, we’ll plan a responsible exit.
