If you are an entrepreneur or leader, we understand you
We focus on supporting founders and executives and have deep experience and tailored tools for our client segment. From supporting hundreds of clients, we know what does not work and what works and why.
Part of our problem was a lack of clear leadership, also, our company was outgrowing us, the founders. Becoming a CEO, by essence, posed a real challenge. The Cocoon program empowered me to embrace the CEO role authentically and overcome fears, including that of a co-founder potentially leaving. I gained tools to address my fears and guilt, fostering greater self-awareness. After being with the Cocoon program for 2 years, I can surely recommend it to growth company founders and executives.
Uku Püttsepp, Degritter CEO, Estonia
If you would like to be a professional athlete you would probably hire a coach? Cocoon is just that but for a business. If you take building your business seriously you should consider Cocoon. I see the largest benefit in Cocoon’s focus on personal development and not just business. Business is built by people, such coaching should always start from building yourself.
Henri Nordström, Jobilla CEO, Finland

Cocoon found me at precisely the right moment, when I was receptive to the value it had to offer. While a year may seem fleeting, the impact of my time with Cocoon has been profound. I've had the privilege of being mentored by Carl for the past year. His practical insights and calm approach have been invaluable to me. Carl has a unique way of understanding your challenges and getting to the heart of the matter.
Louis Volpe, Recruit Alliance, Denmark
I joined Cocoon Program because I saw that my company and I needed a change for better results. Since then, I have brought many learnings from Cocoon back to my company - we ensure that everybody in our team has the right job for them and that team members trust each other. I have met brilliant people through this program and gained a lot of food for thought for many months to come.

Frequent obstacles
Many of our clients have encountered similar obstacles before starting mentoring.
We provide a set of self-reflection questions to help you uncover your feelings

Would you like to get tools that help you be less busy?
-
Where does your time go mostly?
-
What you don't have enough time for but would like to have?
-
If you don't find the time for it, where can it lead you to?
-
What would it mean for you if you had more time for what you feel is essential for you?
Not enough money
Invest money to earn money.
-
Would you like to find ways to make wiser decisions that can increase income?
-
What impact do the team's abilities have on your company?
-
And leaders' abilities?
-
What impact would it have if you could improve the decisions, motivation and productivity in your company?
Core team or investors opinion
The head and heart are a leader's tools.
-
Would you like to meet the expectations of your core team and investors?

What tools do you need to deliver the best outcomes?
-
What would it mean for your team and investors if you would get better at delivering these results?
Farhad as a mentor has the ability to look at your challenges from a completely different angle to what you would expect and provide insights to underlying issues instead of a temporary fix. Pulling from literature, personal anecdotes and deep experience he is able to pinpoint your weaknesses and teach you how to turn them into your strengths.
Marek Alliksoo, Skycorp CEO, Estonia
Participation in Cocoon Program has helped me to solve challenges in my business and also on a personal level. I learned whatever challenge I will meet, most probably someone has already experienced it, and there are at least several solutions.
