Summary
I see you. You’ve done a lot right. You’ve reinvented, launched & succeeded. 🌟But what got you here won’t get you there (Cheers, @Marshall Goldsmith!)🌟 Now it’s time to scale & AI-transform your entire org. Lately, you’ve ALSO become a FIREFIGHTER. Little else. You’d like to step away. Build a lucrative & easeful exit. Focus on... 🌟Yet… We can never read the label from inside the jar🌟 You know you need outside eyes. And ears. And AI (yes, AI! 🤖) » A Chief Simplification Officer? » A Leadership Coach? » An AI Transformation Guide? » A Strategy Consultant? » An Operations Advisor? » A Valuation Guide? Well… actually, a little of each. Guiding human energy IS a thing. We humans would rather give our lives than be wrong. We suck at listening. We kill ideas through confirmation bias. Now it’s time to scale. To grow. To listen. To learn+expand. 🟣 People want to feel seen, heard, understood.🟣 “But Sergiu, joy alone isn’t a solution!” You’re right. That’s why it’s a HYBRID. Mesh the right SYSTEMS with the right SPIRIT. 🟣 I'll TEACH you the right concepts, tools, disciplines 🟣 I'll COACH you and your Leadership Team 🟣 I'll FACILITATE solving your biggest issues I SERVE BUSINESSES THAT ARE » Small-to-Midsize, any sector (industry knowledge has nothing on human knowledge) » Eager to accelerate growth (not just on paper, but IRL) » Willing to be a transparent & lucid organization (seriously!) Is your team underperforming? Consider the 3 Ps: 🌟PRETENDING: Am I fooling myself? Will she ever change or stretch enough? How long should I wait? 🌟POTENTIAL: Is he coachable? Can I help him get to where he needs to be? Who can? Is he committed? 🌟PEG PROBLEM: Are they in the right job? Succeeding or struggling? Another team or culture a better fit? I HAVE… » Built a business up to $34M » Served as CPO for 7 SaaS co's » Turned around a faltering company in 15 months » Guided 6+ co's to their M&A at unusual valuations » Coached 75+ teams I’m a certified Scaling Up Coach (former EOS®), Kolbe & Predictive Index Partner, Landmark Leader, Red Teaming Facilitator & a dozen more…(blah blah blah). Nothing means more to me than 🟣 Restoring Joy in Humane Performance for Growth Leaders 🟣 OK, my daughters & grandsons do, but otherwise you’re #1. 🌟Conversations, magic & connection are complimentary. If this clicks, let’s talk! ⇉ http://GetBusinessMomentum.com/LetsConnect P.S. I escaped from Communist Romania at age 24, geek out on aesthetics, spent 11 childhood years playing viola, and I still believe that most people are good at heart.
