COACHING & CTO/CEO GROUPS
Fueling extraordinary leadership
Neuberg Gore provides world-class coaching to quickly address our clients’ most pressing challenges and practical tools that position leaders for long-term success.
WHAT WE DO
Supporting High-Performing Startup Leaders
Since its inception in 2012, Neuberg Gore has been dedicated to coaching founders of fast-scaling startups. We uniquely understand how to help them navigate pivotal moments and scale with their companies.
Our coaching and proprietary toolset helps leaders identify their growth areas, track their progress and continually improve themselves and their entire teams.
Once a startup is rapidly scaling, founders have new mandates: up-level yourself, grow your team and drive the business. That’s a big change from what’s needed in a startup’s disruptive early days. Successfully managing the transition to a high-growth company can mean the difference between a fire sale and a successful exit.
Most of our clients need to generate immediate results. They have six-to-nine months to level up, build the team, create results, get funding… iterate and keep going. So, our coaching programs move fast.
We help founders up-level themselves and grow their companies. Our job is to help leaders identify their blindspots, quickly acquire new skills, build their teams, navigate challenges and continuously drive the company forward. Getting that balance right is what inspires us — and what helps our clients become effective and even transformative leaders.
CEO & CTO Groups
We curate groups of 7-10 VC-backed CEOs at similar stages of growth to help you identify your blindspots and up-level your leadership. Leaders typical improve their ability to drive strategy, build a team, delegate, and hold team members accountable. See the Introductory Deck.
OUR MOTIVATION
“Untapped potential is painful to watch. For people who can make a difference, who are contributing to society, I want to give them the tools to be successful. I want to give to people who are giving back.”
— Jason Gore

Challenging Conversations: C.U.B.E. for Conflict
Leaders spend most of their time in meetings and conversations, yet are never trained. Negotiations, group decision-making, providing negative feedback, and other conflicts can be some of the most pivotal moments leaders face. Getting them right can be the difference between success and failure — and it all comes down to communications skills.
Our proprietary model helps leaders structure challenging conversations to help them avoid the common pitfalls to improve the outcome of your next conversation.
Our CUBE Survival Guides for Conflict survival guides helps leaders say what they need to say in the most effective way possible, increasing the chances that the conversation and relationship go well. Here are a few of the most-used survival guides:
A Simple, But Effective System for Better Communications
Create Context & Objectives
Understand Each Other’s Worlds, Their’s First
Brainstorm Options
End With Commitments
Accountability Best Practices: The 5 Conversations
A manager has to effectively give feedback and hold their team members accountable to build a high-performing team. Many leaders struggle with giving negative feedback, especially to under-performers who don’t receive it well.
It’s best to see feedback as a set of five escalating conversations. The goal is for the team member to understand how they are failing to meet expectations and change their behavior. Eventually, if they don’t improve, you’ll let them go. But start simply and then escalate.
Conversation 1 - Ongoing task-based feedback using plus/delta.
Conversation 2 - Negative/Constructive Feedback
Conversation 3 - Holding a Team Member Accountable
Conversation 4 - Role Underperformance (or a formal PIP)
Conversation 5 - Letting Them Go (or Changing their Role)
