FTPFounder Transformation Program

Your business has plateaued. The strategy is not broken. The leadership is.

Six months. Six sessions. Three phases. The Indaba. The leadership shift your team feels before you announce it. For growth-stage African founders who already know they are the ceiling, and are ready to do something about it.

Who FTP is built for

This programme is rigorous. It is for founders who are ready.

Four signals that FTP is the right next step. If three or more sound like you, we should talk.

✓

You are post-revenue, building an institution.

$50K+ in annual revenue. A team of five or more. Real traction. Beyond survival mode.

✓

You suspect the ceiling is you.

The strategy is not the problem. The team is not the problem. You quietly know who the problem is.

✓

You have already done courses, accelerators, workshops.

The information was not the gap. The transformation never quite landed.

✓

You are ready to be honest with yourself.

You can take honest feedback. You can sit with what you find. You are done managing the symptoms.

The journey

Three phases. Six sessions. One arc.

Each session is two hours. Each phase has its own purpose. Together they form the architecture of the shift.

Phase 01Sessions 1 · 2

Assessment & Awareness

We map the landscape. Where you actually stand across every dimension of leadership. The Business Readiness Assessment. The leadership diagnostic. What they reveal when read together.

By the end of session 2, you see yourself clearly. Often for the first time.

In this phase
  • ·Two-hour onboarding session 1
  • ·Business Readiness Assessment (debriefed)
  • ·Personal leadership diagnostic
  • ·Core gap identified and named
  • ·Personal Leadership Operating System v0.1
Phase 02Sessions 3 · 4

Behavioral Shift

The middle of the work. Where the patterns break. Old reflexes get noticed. Then replaced. Then practised. Sessions 3 and 4 are where leaders feel the muscle change.

The shift starts to be visible to your team before you have announced it.

In this phase
  • ·Behavioural pattern work
  • ·Real-time decision rehearsal
  • ·Stakeholder map and influence work
  • ·Personal Leadership Operating System v1.0
  • ·Fieldwork between sessions
Phase 03Sessions 5 · 6

Integration & The Indaba

The closing arc. Session 5 integrates everything. Session 6 is The Indaba. You invite one or two key stakeholders into the room. They witness your commitments out loud.

The transformation becomes real because the people around you saw it land.

In this phase
  • ·Integration session
  • ·The Indaba stakeholder witness session
  • ·90-day forward commitments
  • ·Personal Leadership Operating System live
  • ·90-day follow-up call
The Indaba

You sit in the room with one or two stakeholders who matter. You name what is changing in how you lead. They witness it. From that moment, the work is anchored in your context, not just your head.
