Pilea - Integrative Coaching for Businesses and Leaders

Humans are meaning-making machines, always creating patterns to navigate the world. This brilliance can sometimes trap us in old scripts, especially in group dynamics. Recognize and break free for a healthier workplace. #WorkCulture #SelfAwareness #IntegrativeLeadership

Founders may feel like they are always in 'wartime'. So how do you lead a team through constant existential threats while still building a supportive culture that's innovative and effective? Our founder has some tips in her latest article. #leadership #startups #integrativeleadership

Wartime requires you to be tough, direct, and ruthless AND regulated, open, and transparent. #integrativeleadership #startups #culture

We are excited about our Annual Pilea VC Retreat this September — our favorite event of the year! Last year, we had an incredible time in Napa exploring integrative leadership, founder support, and how to improve the world of VC with an inspiring group of GPs and Platform champions. This year, we’re headed to Ojai 😍 to soak up some natural beauty and immerse ourselves in new ways of operating in the VC space. Our theme this year is ‘Business as Unusual.’ We will play with concepts like autobiographical company building, systems work, and mind-body practices that will support investors (and their founders) in building high-performing cultures without burning people out! This work is critical in supporting the success of startups while maintaining the well-being of the people behind the big ideas. We are proud to have Pure Ventures join us again and excited to welcome Crosscut Ventures as our co-hosts this year! Check out these photos of our beautiful venue! P.S. We are still looking for values-aligned sponsors to help make this exciting retreat come to life. If your product helps make work better for VC and/or startup teams, we’d love to connect and collaborate! P.P.S. Special shoutout to Howie Diamond and Jake Chapman who originally started this retreat with us 4 years ago!

Show up- It's on the top of the list of our active values at Pilea. This doesn't mean you just have to step into the room and be there. Here's what is does mean: --We commit to showing up exactly as we are and doing our best work from this place. --We commit to playing full out, and saying what needs to be said - even when it's scary. --We commit to staying in relationship with each other, even when it's uncomfortable. This is a way in which every person can show up and be in their leadership. It also requires vulnerability and trust in the team, which is an active and ongoing practice.
