The High-Stakes Journey of the Founder

The founder's professional journey is completely unique among all executive roles. It demands a level of personal commitment, internal resilience, and rapid self-development that few other positions can truly match in intensity.

Founders need much more than just a casual mentor; they require a dedicated ceo coach who specializes specifically in the intense psychological and complex strategic challenges of scaling an entire company.

Powerhouse Coaching has been actively supporting senior leaders since 2003, accumulating over 20,000 hours of focused, specialized experience, much of it dedicated to the high-stakes environment of founders and their C-Suite teams.

This long-standing track record provides unparalleled pattern recognition. The coach can quickly identify potential operational and behavioral pitfalls and leverage proven strategies for accelerated, healthy growth.

The crucial insight gained from two decades in the demanding field is applied through a scientific evidence-based coaching psychology approach, ensuring that solutions are both fast-acting and highly sustainable for the long term.

The Power of Experience and Credentials

The MSc in Evidence-Based Coaching

The founder, Katherine Hosie, has earned a Master of Science in Evidence-Based Coaching Psychology. This critical academic foundation provides the scientific rigor that underlies her practical success and methodology.

This ensures that the coaching goes far beyond simple motivational speaking to consistently provide effective, research-backed solutions meticulously tailored to the complex needs of a rapidly scaling founder.

The specialization in executive leadership development for both founders and the C-Suite ensures that the organizational structure scales effectively and sustainably alongside the core product or service.

Since 2009, the practice has focused intensely on C-Suite leadership dynamics, making it an extremely powerful resource for founders making the critical transition from startup manager to global CEO.

The core mission is clear: to be the most trustworthy and professionally valuable relationship a founder can have, intentionally cultivating leaders worthy of deep admiration and lasting organizational trust.
