According to Dominic, the real crisis happens between 50 and 100 employees. What worked at 10 or 30 people, speed, hustle, founder control, becomes the bottleneck at scale. Dom has lived this transition himself. He scaled Rackspace and Peer 1 Hosting from startup to £30M ARR and 100+ employees, later moving into global executive roles. Today, through Monkhouse & Company, he’s coached over 100 founders through the same identity shift, from reactive operator to deliberate CEO. His core idea is simple but confronting: scaling isn’t a revenue problem. It’s a leadership evolution problem. If you don’t build an accountable leadership team and install real decision rights, you don’t have a business, you have a job. ********************************************************** Proposed Interview Structure: 1. Dom, you’ve scaled businesses yourself before becoming a coach. What pushed you from operator and MD roles into coaching founder-CEOs? 2. What specific problem are you helping founder-CEOs solve today, and why does solving that problem matter so much to you personally? 3. Who are your ideal clients right now in terms of size, stage, and mindset? And when they hire you, who is typically driving that decision? 4. How do founder-CEOs typically find you today? What has worked best in attracting serious scale-up leaders to Monkhouse & Company? Current Acquisition Channels: Referral, Content, Google Ads, Meta Ads, Webinars, Podcast (guesting), Podcast (hosting), Speaking engagements, Cold outreach Sub Question: What’s your perspective on podcasting as a marketing tool for consultants and coaches working with founders? 5. When a founder realizes they’re the bottleneck, that can be uncomfortable. How do you guide the sales conversation so they commit to real structural change rather than surface-level fixes? 6. Once a founder starts working with you, how do you structure the relationship so they stay engaged, keep coming back, and build a long-term partnership with you? 7. Where do you find yourself most stuck right now as a CEO coach to scaling businesses, if at all? 8. Looking ahead, where do you see the biggest opportunity for founder-to-CEO leadership development over the next few years?*********************************************************************Know more about Dominic MonkhouseWebsite Link: https://www.monkhouseandcompany.com/ Connect with Dominic Monkhouse on LinkedInLinkedIn link: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dominicmonkhouse/Apply to be a guest on Consulting Leaders:https://ghapodcast.com/application-to-be-a-guest-on-consulting-leaders/
