Better conflict. Clearer decisions. Stronger teams.
Helping founders and leaders navigate tension, have difficult conversations, and grow the business without blowing up relationships.
I’m Marina.
Trained as a lawyer and experienced as a startup operator, I coach founders and teams through difficult conversations that make or break the company.
I focus on the whole system: the human patterns, the legal realities, the operational pressure, and the culture you’re building. Tension is a symptom and my job is to help you clearly see what’s underneath.
Conflict Coaching
for people who build things
Most businesses don’t fail because of the market.
They fail because of inside conflict.
Teams focus on the product, and the human part (team relationships, cofounder disputes, communication breakdowns) is neglected until it becomes a crisis.
I help you find the tension and use it to propel your growth.
What I Offer
-
Free Assessment
We start with a 30-min call where you tell me what’s going on. I’ll help you figure out the best path forward.
-
1:1 Sessions
We untangle what’s really going on behind the tension, build clarity, communication tools, and an actionable plan.
-
Team Sessions
We surface what’s not being said out loud, have productive disagreements, rebuild trust that lasts, and make decisions without drama.
My Approach
I use my legal background and startup experience to help founders and leaders treat conflict as a growth opportunity, not something to avoid.
Conflict is not a threat. It’s a tool. The only thing that makes it threatening is our perception of it. My job is to show you the productive part of difficult conversations.
-
Vulnerability is where breakthroughs happen. That’s why everything we discuss is held in complete confidence, giving you a safe space to explore the most sensitive issues.
-
The goal is to get you back to building. We will create an actionable, specific, strategic plan designed to be implemented in your reality. No therapy, no corporate jargon, no ambiguity. Just real-life solutions.
-
I’m here to be your truth-seeking partner, not a ‘yes’ man. I will challenge your mindset, assumptions, and blind spots with respect and directness.
-
I do not make decisions for you. My process is deliberately structured to transfer skills, empowering you and your team to own the solution and build long-term, self-sufficient conflict resilience within your leadership structure.
