Founder | Blue Ocean Stategist
After enduring underperformance for some time I engaged Jess Dahlberg. Jess is very intuitive, worldly and easy to work with. She’s patient and always manages to paint the bigger picture. The coaching process identified causes for underperformance and provided strategies and tools to generate the lifestyle performance results I required to continue excelling in business.

Who is the Aligned Scale Up program for?
Founders and investors.
Start up founders typically face overwhelm and inconsistent productivity which impacts how fast the start up grows. Often there are talented people in the business who have great ideas that are not being harnessed effectively again causing a slowing down of growth. Finally, leading a business from no revenue to $5-10mil is often a first-time experience and is daunting.
The Aligned Scale Up program solves these and many more common issues in a no nonsense, pragmatic manner that allows the founder to direct and lead the process.
Investors want to help founders succeed. With the Aligned Scale Up business asset the investor can provide insightful mentoring to the founder that drives entrepreneurial growth and scale up momentum.
What are the four principles the program covers?
The four principles are Performance, People, Potential and Peak.
Performance focuses on building founder productivity, influence and consistent focus using pragmatic high performance habits. The founder will become more self aware and make decisions with greater confidence and in alignment with a clear purpose.
People focuses on understanding the current culture and what kind of culture is required to effectively grow the business to its next stage and how the team can keep in creating that. This part can be done either side by side with Jess and her team or with Jess as the "ghostwriter" and the founder leading the workshops.
Potential focuses on aligning people to performance in a pragmatic way from the ground up. The founder will learn how to do this and how to keep building in this clarity as the business grows. Using the accompanying business asset the founder will have an eagle view of progress and clarity on what drives both success and failure.
Peak focuses on guiding the founder through each of the steps necessary to prepare for and lead a scale up. It is done in a unique way that involves both the founder and the team in real time and with Jess and her team as comrades on the journey.
The whole program is a playbook for building in growth into a start up. The founder will learn, build and have a playbook that can be used over and over again.
Can I teach my people without direct involvement by Jess's team?
Yes you can.
The principles of Performance and Peak are coaching/mentoring programs working with the founder.
The principles of People and Potential can be done with Jess's team as the ghostwriters in the background leading the founder through each step. The program has been written in such a way that it simplistic and includes only what is needed for a start up in growth mode.
Is it necessary to complete the full program or can I choose just what I need?
No.
We are only interested in solving current problems or preparing for a growth period that is imminent. We use the Scale Up Readiness scorecard as a tool to ascertain what area(s) are most key to focus on. We work in partnership with the founder and/or investor.
