THE STEP UP: MOVING TO EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP

There is a moment in a management career when your point of view changes: from tactical to strategic, from function to company, from process to culture.
This is the step up to executive leadership.
Twenty years ago I promoted a member of my team from Director to VP for the first time. I realized I wanted them to understand how different their job would now be. How their new role had so much more to it - more vision, more breadth, more leadership.
So I wrote down a few notes under the heading "How to Be a VP" and passed them along to my newly minted leader. Five years later, he pulled a battered printed copy out of a pocket and said "I just used these. Again..."
This course is the continuation of my learning from decades of startup leadership, and hundreds of coaching sessions with executives and soon to be executives at growth companies in San Francisco and world wide.
It teaches you to take the step, successfully and with confidence.

JOE DUNN - WHO I AM
I’m a leader, mentor and coach with over twenty years of experience in fast-moving software startups.
Three became successful public companies, and fourth sold for $250M+
My experience covers everything from being one of “three guys in a room” to an officer of a public company. (And a traveling surf bum, barely capable yoga student, skilled improv performer, and twenty-five year student of meditation).
I coach leaders of all kinds (CEOs, CTOs, Engineers, Sales, Marketing) in rapidly-growing tech companies in San Francisco and the Bay Area, from seed-size to “unicorns”.
