The best time to strengthen a partnership is before anything's wrong.
The strongest version of your partnership starts with a conversation. One focused session for co-founders who want to keep building well.
“Greater clarity, faster decision-making, and a deeper level of trust in our partnership. Rather than getting stuck in uncertainty or avoiding difficult conversations, we found ourselves moving forward with more intention and momentum.
What could have remained friction or uncertainty became inspired action.”
This is for co-founders and business partners who take the partnership as seriously as the business.
Early Days
You're building the thing and learning how to work alongside each other at the same time. Setting the terms now is far easier than renegotiating them later.
Growing Fast
More people, more decisions, more impact. You want to stay aligned as the stakes rise rather than discover the gaps under pressure.
At a Crossroads
There's a significant decision ahead. You want to meet it on genuinely shared footing, not assumed agreement.
You don't need to be in conflict to do this work. The partners who get the most from it usually come in while things are good and want to keep it that way.
What you get:
One 90-minute working session focused on your partnership. Together we bring language to what usually stays unsaid or assumed in a partnership: how you make decisions, how you navigate disagreement, how you share the load. We do it while things are clear, so the agreements hold when things get busy.
You leave with two things. A shared language on what's working and where to focus next, and one concrete agreement about how you'll work together from here.
You'll work with Andria Gillis, PCC and ACTC-credentialed, Senior Systemic Team Coaching Practitioner, who does this work with founders and leadership teams.
The Investment
This session runs on a sliding scale. All three options are the same 90 minutes, the same work. Choose the rate that fits your circumstances and that's right for you.
If your business is early or bootstrapped, the supported rate is genuinely for you. If you're established and able, the sustaining rate helps keep the supported spots open for other founders.

Each session is for both partners together. If you have more than 2 founding partners, or are looking for support for your leadership team, email andria@peoplelab.ca to discuss.
I'm opening a small number of these to start. When these first spots are filled, the next openings won't be for a while.

FAQs
Do we need to be struggling for this to be worth it?
1
No. Most pairs who do this come in while things are good and want to keep it that way. Working on the partnership before there's a problem is the point, not a sign something's wrong.
What if my partner is skeptical?
2
That's common, and it's welcome. You don't need to arrive aligned. The session works precisely because it makes room for how each of you actually sees things.
Is this therapy?
3
No. It's a focused working session on how the two of you run your partnership. Practical, structured, and grounded in the decisions and dynamics you're navigating now.
What happens after the session?
4
You leave with some powerful tools and ways of working you can use immediately. If you want ongoing support, Partnership Fieldwork is there, but the session stands fully on its own.
