JOHN FRAME, FOUNDER/CEO
I’m a catalyst for bold leadership.
I’m on a mission to make those big, expensive (yet highly effective) corporate leadership development programs accessible to start-ups at a fraction of the cost.
I bring two decades of experience developing executives and managers in enterprise companies and start-ups, across Big Tech (LinkedIn, Uber, Rakuten), education (NYC Department of Education), fashion (Reformation) and nonprofits (Teach for America, City Year). Along the way I equipped myself with an exceptional MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and the most advanced coaching education from the Co-Active Training Institute.
And I’m an entrepreneur myself (founder of KIPP Philosophers Academy and John Frame Consulting) committed to helping next-gen founders buck the failure trend and lead boldly in business…
At the forefront of
Start-up Leadership Development
According to best-selling author and Harvard Business School Professor Noam Wasserman, 65% of high-potential startups fail due to conflict and poor communication among co-founders (The Founder’s Dilemma). It’s a daunting statistic, but not surprising given how many start-up leaders lack the experience of leading teams, managing conflict, and making tough decisions. While operating under a lot of pressure, these issues can be overwhelming for founders with tons of competing priorities. Many companies who lack support flame out fast, severely hampering innovation in a world that desperately needs it.
