MenuFeeling Lost or Frustrated Working for a Startup?
Created 2 years ago in Business / Getting Started
Does your job change all the time?
Do you feel your cofounders don’t appreciate you or your work?
Are you in the dark about how your company is doing?
Welcome to working life at a startup.
Yeah, you probably could have been employee #52,833 at some multinational Fortune 500 company, but that would have been Dullsville. Instead, you succumbed to the excitement, allure and cool factor of working at a startup that might, just might, be the next Amazon, Meta, or Shopify.
But lately, does something feel… off?
Don’t feel jazzed to go into work anymore? Check.
Bitching about people and the company more than you used to? Check.
Worried that you might be unemployed next week? Check again.
Let me help. I’m an HR advisor to fast growing startups all over the world. I know how they think and how they act. And no matter what country they’re in or what language they speak, the truth is, many of them suck when it comes to hiring and leading people (you may have noticed that).
So if you feel your company isn’t putting you first, then let’s talk. Because I will.

Trusted people expert for founders and employees of some of the brightest startups and scale-ups across Canada, the U.S., Europe and Asia. Some common challenges I can you help you with include: • Co-founder issues: can't find the ideal one? repeated miscommunication? constantly butting heads? You have to be in sync or else it's a waste of time, energy and money. • Building a team: who’s the right fit? what roles do you need and when? how do you attract 'A' players on a budget? If you’re hiring based solely on skills, or because someone’s likeable, that’s not a good sign. • Building a resilient and scalable culture: forget free food and bringing your dog to work (although they’re both cool to have). Your culture runs much deeper than that. It’s your startup’s immune system. • Managing employee performance, happiness and engagement: sure money helps, but you would be surprised how low it really ranks. • Job satisfaction: feel a knot in your stomach on Sunday nights? it could be the day old sushi talking, but it’s more likely that work is the reason. Maybe it’s an ongoing conflict with someone, or feeling like you or your work aren’t appreciated anymore. Or maybe you’ve simply outgrown the place. Whatever the reason, your physical and mental health are probably suffering as a result. It’s not worth it. Bottom line: working at, or on, a startup should be an enjoyable and fulfilling experience. I can help get you there. Let's talk.
