Coaching
Prepare for lift-off
Most teams invest in hiring great people but not in coaching or helping them lead, align, or grow together. It's only when performance plateaus, new managers struggle, or a critical milestone exposes misalignment that organisations realise the gap isn't talent - it's support.
How can focused coaching sessions benefit clarity, strategy and momentum?
We work with founders, marketing teams and leadership groups to refine ideas, solve challenges and build practical plans for growth. Whether you’re launching something new or rethinking an existing strategy, we help you step back, see the bigger picture and move forward with confidence.
Modules
The following approaches share a philosophy: strategy and human development aren't separate.
TwentyThree's coaching is lead by TwentyThree Associate, Basheera Khan, Rise Up Six.
The Ignition Session
A focused alignment intensive for teams approaching a major milestone (Series A, scaling, restructure). You walk away with a shared understanding of where you are, aligned priorities, and a concrete action plan. No strategy deck sitting on a shelf. Real, actionable next steps.
Who is this coaching for?
- Startup founding teams preparing for Series A who need to sharpen their narrative and align on vision before investor conversations
- Product and design teams at scaling companies who've outgrown their original ways of working and need to reset
- Leadership teams navigating a pivot, restructure, or post-funding growth phase who need clarity fast
- Any team where the individuals are capable but the collective direction is uncertain
The Long Game
A sustained leadership development programme for people stepping into new management roles or navigating the messy transition from "doing the work" to "leading the people who do the work."
Who is this coaching for?
- First-time managers and team leads who've been promoted from individual contributor roles and need sustained support through the transition
- Design, product, and engineering leaders navigating the shift from "doing the work" to "leading the people who do the work"
- Post-Series A companies building out their first management layer and wanting to get it right from the start
- Established businesses scaling their leadership team and noticing the cracks — high turnover in new manager roles, team disengagement, or an org culture that worked at 20 people but is breaking at 50
