Coaches with Founder Experience
At Abroad, we deeply value practical wisdom—experience-based insights gained by sitting in the founder’s seat. Our coaches intimately understand the expectations, pressure, and key drivers of the challenges you face behind the scenes. Founders see our coaches as trusted allies, people they can turn to who aren’t investors, board members, team members, or significant others. They understand the depths of your challenges.

Scaling with Your Team and Organization
Finding a fantastic coach is great, but most individual coaches can’t scale with your organization. At Abroad, we’ve developed a global coaching roster, analytics, and platform to support your team through every stage of growth. Whether you’re navigating a startup, scaling up, or approaching an M&A or IPO, we’re here to guide your journey.

As a leader if you learn about the programme and think ‘I’m just too busy for this,” you should have signed up a year ago.
This programme is very deep, reflective, and relevant. It’s like re-learning to be human.
This was hands down the most transformational programme I have ever attended. I will be disappointed by mere skills-based trainings after this.
