For mission-oriented founders

Group coaching for entrepreneurs

Share your experience with a community of your peers.

Let’s face it: Running a business is hard

As successful as your business is, things don’t always go well.

Still, you’re expected to project certainty and success, even though you’re dealing with issues that can be as varied as:

Your relationship with or separation from your business partner
Your product-market fit
Aligning with your customer base
Managing your staff members
or simply navigating the circumstances

Being an entrepreneur requires a lot of perseverance. It also requires deep personal development because you come with your own baggage, and effectively dealing with people can be taxing.

Being an entrepreneur—especially one who wants to balance purpose and profit—is very demanding. And lonely.

It does not feel right to burden your employees with your struggles. And there’s a limit to how many of your business challenges your friends or significant other can contain.

What if there were a shared space where you could discuss the burden and the pain as an integral part of the entrepreneurial journey—a piece of yourself to engage with and embrace?

Because in pain also lies growth.

Cue the Grief Circle

A different type of group life coaching for successful entrepreneurs who want to acknowledge the struggle

The Grief Circle is a safe space for purpose-driven business leaders to talk about the grief and pain involved in their work.

Within a small curated group of peers who get it, you can acknowledge and experience the pain without trying to fix it.

The Grief Circle isn’t just “grief about the business”. It’s grief about lost idealism, lost energy, or being in a grind that once felt meaningful. Because being a purpose-driven entrepreneur adds an extra layer of challenge.

How does it work?

The Grief Circle meets every month. That frequency ensures a regular cadence without taking up too much time in everybody’s busy schedules. Groups consist of up to 6 participants and work by referral or invitation only.

Step 1

I curate a group mindfully, taking into account potential power dynamics.

Step 2

We meet online (or in person, if circumstances and preference allow).

Step 3

After reviewing the ground rules, I go first, to model what it’s going to be like

Step 4

People take turns. We share time. Everybody gets to go.

You feel safe, heard, and seen.

Dror is great at opening up a space for others to share their experiences, reflections, and emotions. The way he facilitates conversations and guides participants through the journey of sharing, contributing, and receiving made me feel safe, heard, and seen. In a world full of superficial chit-chat, Dror held space for meaningful conversation among complete strangers.

Confidentiality

Ask for permission to make an offer or ask a question

This type of group coaching for entrepreneurs is different.

What can you expect from it?

A space where you can be vulnerable

Entrepreneurs experience pain and challenges, yet rarely get to open up about what they’re going through. This is the place for it.

Validation and empowerment

You get to acknowledge that it is, in fact, normal not to have it together, and that experiencing darkness and doubt is an integral part of the journey.

A grounded feeling of relief

You leave the session feeling like you’ve connected with others and that your burdens have been lifted.

New meaningful relationships

You get to meet and genuinely connect with other entrepreneurs. It’s your opportunity to build relationships that matter.

Dror creates a rare space for founders to be real and to be heard.

I joined two of Dror’s founder Grief Circles and found them to be deeply grounding. Startups can be isolating and emotionally taxing, and these sessions offered a powerful space to share the harder parts — the grief, uncertainty, and exhaustion — with others who truly understand.

Dror facilitated these gatherings with empathy, skill, and kindness. He’s a thoughtful listener and creates the safety needed for genuine, vulnerable conversations. I left feeling lighter, more connected, and not so alone.

Not at all. Some people attend every month, others participate at a pace that works for them, or even just once. This is a flexible type of group coaching for entrepreneurs.

When filling out the form, you’ll also have the opportunity to schedule a call with me. We’ll have a brief discussion to determine if you and the group are a good fit, for your sake and that of the experience.

A session typically lasts for 90 minutes.

This is such an important question that I wrote a blog about it. I explain the difference between coaching, therapy, mentorship, and even consulting. It’s a short but I believe enlightening read: What is Ethics Coaching?
