In the Strategic Planning phase, startups embark on a deep exploration of their identity, mission, and vision. This four-week journey begins with discovering and embracing the core 'why' behind the venture, followed by refining the foundational elements that drive long-term success. Participants engage in Identity 101 and Focus 101 sessions, gaining insights into their values, beliefs, and vital metrics. By the end of this phase, startups will have a well-defined mission, a clear value proposition, and a comprehensive understanding of their market positioning, setting the stage for tactical planning.
-
The Tactical Planning phase focuses on translating the strategic vision into actionable plans. Over four weeks, startups refine their capabilities, resources, and operational models. This phase is designed to equip participants with the tools needed to pursue seed clients and secure initial funding. With a strong emphasis on integrating identity into every aspect of the business, participants will develop three-year strategies, design governance structures, and create go-to-market plans that align with their core values.
-
In the Launch, Fund & Execute phase, startups transition from planning to action. This phase provides ongoing support for sales, funding, and operations, ensuring that startups have the resources and guidance they need to execute their strategies effectively. With a combination of one-on-one coaching and cohort-based support, participants focus on driving sales, securing funding, and maintaining a healthy work rhythm. This phase is adaptable, with recurring services offered through various payment and equity models.

-
A "resourced human" refers to an individual who is fully equipped, both mentally and emotionally, to thrive in the workplace. This person benefits from practices rooted in neuroplasticity, reprogramming, and nervous system regulation, which enhance their capacity for growth, change, and problem-solving. By aligning their actions with intentional thoughts and reinforcing behaviors that match their inner rewards, resourced humans are more likely to enter flow states—where they become more creative, connected, and innovative.
In a team dynamics context, creating resourced humans means fostering an environment where individuals are supported to move from merely surviving to thriving, from being reactive to responsive, and from default behaviors to intentional actions. This approach leads to higher engagement, better performance, and ultimately, a workplace where people are not only more effective but also more fulfilled and capable of continuous personal and professional growth.
-
Coaching in the context of creating "resourced humans" involves guiding individuals to develop and harmonize their Physical, Mental, Emotional, and Energetic bodies. This holistic approach ensures that they can function optimally across the four key life quadrants: Health, Relationships, Creation/Career, and Abundance/Finances.
At IMPowerU, coaching goes beyond traditional methods by serving as a container that brings awareness to alternative ways of thinking about healing and health. By fostering balance across these quadrants, coaching helps individuals build resilience and gracefully navigate change. This process emphasizes taking radical responsibility for one’s energy and actions, which is crucial in sustaining healthy relationships and successful careers.
Ultimately, coaching aims to create a life in balance, leading to balanced communities, families, and organizations. This balance is key to preventing common pitfalls, such as the inability to manage relationships, which is a primary reason for startup & organizational failure. Through accountability and self-awareness, coaching empowers individuals to contribute positively to their environments, both personally and professionally.

Well-being is essential to organizational success, encompassing the holistic development of individuals and the collective. It integrates personal and professional growth, fostering environments where agile mindsets lead to more effective, efficient, and innovative operations. By shifting the focus from output to cultivating the capacity for input, organizations can reduce friction and tension, achieving greater cohesion and rhythm.
This approach involves redefining success metrics to include innovation, problem-solving, and community engagement, creating a culture where well-being drives performance. Grounding practices, such as check-ins and creating spaces for authentic expression, help maintain high levels of engagement and creativity by allowing emotional energy to flow naturally.
Ultimately, well-being is about creating a sustainable and resilient environment where individuals contribute to the mission with purpose and fulfillment, enhancing both personal and organizational success.
-
Cohesion is the foundation of a thriving organizational culture, bringing individuals together into a unified force that propels progress. It is cultivated through intentional habits and ceremonies that foster deep human connections, creating a workplace where everyone feels a genuine sense of belonging and joy in their work. By emphasizing intentional teams and fostering clear agreements, cohesion eliminates tension and accelerates progress.
Our approach to cohesion includes creating adaptable systems that regularly realign with minimal friction, ensuring that teams can maintain positive dynamics. This empowers organizations to harness the full power of cohesion, driving both individual and collective success.
