COGNITIVE PERFORMANCE FOR FOUNDERS & LEADERS IN TECH
MIKEY FERRARIS
Build the emotional, personal, and leadership capability you need to scale at the speed of your startup.
What got you here, won’t get you to whats next.
The first step is to get ambitious, very ambitious, about what you actually want.
Not what you should want.
What you really want.
Scaling to eight figures? A business that runs without you? Feeling peace when your head finally hits the pillow?
Whatever it is, we name it. Then we look at what's actually in the way.
About Mikey.
Mikey is a accredited Holistic Counsellor and Performance Coach who has worked with Founders and team leaders navigating the intense growth that comes with Series-A raise and beyond. He has walked the start-up journey as an early founding team member for a Infravision, a robotics tech company that scaled from 5 to 150 people through a Series-A and beyond.
Who Mikey works with.
Mikey works with founders at Series-A stage who are experiencing meaningful growth and beginning to feel the pressure of what's coming next. The moment when the startup starts demanding more then the founder is ready for.
He works best with founders who are open to being completely honest with themselves and know that the growth of the company does not need to come at the cost of personal joy. The engagement ends when one of you decides it does.
Mikeys Operating Principles.
1. You already have the capability. I believe you have everything you need to succeed and my job is to help you uncover it and remember it. We work with what's present and clear what's blocking your next level of growth. This is a completely non-judgmental space.
2. Your journey is unique. No two psychologies or paths are the same, so this is fully tailored to you. I'm here to help you build a company and a life that works for you, not the one you think you should build.
3. Wildly ambitious. I'll hold your biggest vision as real, even on the days you can't. We don't shrink the goal to feel safe. We stay with wild ambition and find the way through.
4. I'm your co-pilot, not your pilot. I rarely give advice or tell you what to do. I am an expert at your inner-world and navigating through it, and you are the expert of your business. Together we work as a team and the magic happens in the space we create together.
The Method.
-
We bring what's going on under the surface into light, so the pattern you couldn't see becomes something you can finally name. We find its root: why it formed, what it's protecting, and where it took hold.
-
We feel and move what's been stuck using somatic work, breath-work, whatever responds best, releasing the charge you've spent years holding down.
-
We reclaim that energy and bring it into how you lead, from choice, not the old pattern.

My Story
-
I was driven to make an impact. Always had been. The kind of person who sees problems and can't help but want to solve it.
-
I became a systems engineer and an early an early founding team member of a startup that scaled from zero to 100 employees in 3-4 years.
-
The drive that fuelled success was also what started causing my own dysfunction. Thought that pushing harder was the solution. The very ambition that got me to where I wanted to go was now working against me.
-
It felt like I had two options:
Option 1: Keep grinding. Push harder. Accept burnout..
Option 2: Slow down, only focus on wellbeing, and give up on impact.
I refused to accept either option. -
I explored the psychology of high-performance, and I learnt there was a third way.
-
There's a zone where stress becomes something to work with instead of against. Elite athletes know it. High-performing teams can apply it. Where teams work with pressure to align faster, communicate clearer,
and perform at levels that might seem impossible to an outsider. -
I believe the teams of people shaping a more sustainable world should have the same support they give to their innovation.
