Personal achievements are empowering - truth that has become so widespread it is almost a truism. The achievements of people and teams one mentors are the next level of professional satisfaction and empowerment! This week I tasted it on two occasions both taking place thank to the tireless team of Dreamups, for which I thank them. These dedicated ladies Olga Zaharciuc Anastasia Berzoy and Carolina Mititiuc are already a strong team, who within a month designed and validated a promising startup idea, which they will now be taking to the next level of acceleration! Thank you ladies for the satisfaction of working with you and mentoring you as a team, it will be my pleasure to work with you again. Until then, I suggest that everyone should keep an eye on these ladies - expect a new startup in town very soon! #startup #ideas #acceleration #mentoring #coaching #startupcoach

The jump from Employee to Founder (E2F) is one of the steepest jumps ever. The first step towards becoming a founder - is a deeper exploration of the "What", "When" and "Who" of starting up. Our Antler team created the Before Day Zero community to engage with great operators, precisely during this phase. Our learnings from the first 2-3 months of what we have done - anchored by Dravisha Katoch https://lnkd.in/g3kM4ssz

Our small team at Zealy will outperform giants. Here's a photo of Annika Bautista and me walking up to the National Palace of Pena in Sintra during our last hacker house. At Zealy, we love doing hacker houses and offsite events. They're a bit different, but I'll explain that another time. If you haven't been to Sintra (Portugal), you must visit. In the 19th century, wealthy people built their summer homes there. It's filled with stunning mansions and palaces, each with beautiful architecture and gardens. It's becoming more touristy every year, so now is the best time to visit. Anyway, we are not here to talk about Sintra. As we walked up, I thought about how this is like our journey at work. Together, we climb mountains, just like at Zealy :) It made me reflect on how Annika and I represent some of Zealy's values in our teamwork: 1. Small Team, High Output: a small team of the best people beats a big team of average ones. As a team with Annika, we achieve so much, even as just a duo. 2. Drivers, Not Passengers: we value those who take initiative, not just those who complete tasks. Annika amazes me with her ability to move forward on her own. It's like things happen magically on auto-pilot. 3. Growth Mindset: don’t know how? Learn it. Today, fast learning beats experience. We learn together. Together, we've tackled hiring, marketing, growth, finance, operations… pretty much every role imaginable at Zealy. 4. Light processes: we keep meetings few and short; most problems are solved asynchronously. 5. Bonus 😂 - foodie: Annika has a talent for finding amazing restaurants. I have to share a few pictures of the restaurant we went to together in Paris. Honestly, it's one of the best I've been to this year. Grateful to walk alongside you, Annika! #startup #zealy #hackerhouse #sintra #culture
