And that's how you wrap up the year with a special Christmas edition of the Clay Club 🎄 

So great to see so many regulars coming, as well as new faces showing their curiosity about Clay and GTM practices.

For this year's last edition, we started with the future of GTM and how this trend will continue to revolutionise Sales, Marketing and Customer Success. GTMe & RevOps roles already play a crucial role in one's organisation, with at least 25% directly reporting to CEOs or CROs.

Then we tackled the big topic of AI Agents with Dominique Michel, who explained in the first place what an AI Agent actually is, before sharing the pros and cons of building your own VS using existing platforms.

Finally, straight from the outbound sphere, Frank Sondors 🥓 who came down to Zurich to share his journey to 3M$ ARR. There was so much shared during that fireside chat that we could turn it into an e-learning course.

The energy was high.

Now it's time for a break and to come back stronger in next year's organisation.

Thanks again to all those who came throughout this year's event 🚀  

PS: want to have the slides from this session? Ping me and I'll be happy to share them.

Attention: tech founders scaling your startups

You want to scale without burning out - without culture chaos, hiring headaches, or endless management fires pulling you away from growth.

That’s how simple it is.

You need a team that moves fast, solves problems on its own, and scales with you almost effortlessly, right?

The first step?
Building a culture flywheel that drives momentum - without getting stuck in process bloat or leadership bottlenecks.

In the next 90 days, I help you turn your culture into a strategic growth driver so you can scale with confidence.

With The ppl.Kickstarter and hands-on guidance, together we:

🙌 Clarify what makes your company thrive so you attract the right people and keep them engaged.
🎯 Streamline how you hire, compensate, and operate *without* turning into a corporate machine.
🛠️ Give you plug-and-play tools so leading your team feels natural, not like an extra job.

A selection of the startups I’ve worked with:

1️⃣ LEDCity (HR & Culture Management): Structured their compensation approach to align with company growth.

2️⃣ AUGENTIC (People & Culture in International Expansion): Taught their leadership team how to hire and employ in Switzerland, embedding local culture into their People Management strategy.

3️⃣ Industrial Tech Startup (Scaling Culture): Transformed leadership alignment and internal communication to reduce friction in a growing team.

Send me a DM with the words "CULTURE KICKSTART" to get the details.

Most startups run smooth ops, but chaos starts when this one thing is missing. Here's what most (first-time) founders overlook (as my data shows):

You can have sharp recruiting, a solid payroll, and a feedback process that ticks the right boxes.

But when these run as separate lanes, things get bumpy fast.

I see it all the time in my "status quo assessments," I run with every client.

Most core ops are there, good enough, running when needed.

Founders think “we’re handling people stuff” because each task is checked off - on it's own.


The real magic? That comes when all these tasks connect into one flywheel.

One simple thread that links how you hire, how you give feedback, how you reward, how you say goodbye.

That thread is: culture.


Not the words on the wall or the nice “about us” page.

Culture is the way your team acts when nobody is watching.

It’s the choices people make in hard moments.

It’s how you do things (and how you never do things) around here.


That’s where I step in.

But we don’t try to fix everything at once.

We start with the most urgent piece - maybe it’s compensation, maybe it’s recruiting, or maybe it’s how you handle exits. (I've done all of these this year and more)


We turn values into clear actions. Sprint by sprint, one step at a time:

Suddenly, the hiring process speaks the same language as your feedback talks.

Separation becomes less painful, more fair, and less personal.

Compensation goes from 'patchwork puzzle' to one cohesive model.

Operations turn into one smooth system, interdependent, but without the triple-checking.

No more circles, no more second-guessing, no more “why is this so hard?”

Just one culture flywheel that keeps turning, building trust and speed as you grow.


I call this 'operationalizing culture', and it's what most founders miss after pinning down a list of values. 

If you feel your team is strong on tasks but weak on connection, you’re not alone.

I help founders build the missing link.

DM me if you want that, too.

These 5 phrases weren’t helping my team or my coaching clients. Here’s what I say now:
(for more clarity, credibility, and ownership)

I did not expect a simple workshop moment to stick with me.

But while working through the whiteboard and post-its, a founder said, “Operationalizing values is so much about communication.”

They were right.

When you want your team to move in the same direction, every word counts.

Saying things out loud helps people truly know what you expect.


Here are 5 things I stopped saying as a founder and coach, and what I use now:

1️⃣ “Sorry for my late reply”
→ “Thanks for your patience.”
(Unless someone is chasing me every hour. Then I let the silence do the work.)

2️⃣ “I think this could be because of x most likely...”
→ “In my experience, this is clearly connected to x in most cases.”
(I know what I know. I say it as I see it.)

3️⃣ “Ehm”
→ Deleted.
(Still slips in, and I am training myself, too.)

4️⃣ “If you don’t think that’s needed, that’s fine, too.”
→ “This is important and required because it is relevant for x.”
(If I see the value, I say so and back it up.)

5️⃣ “This does not work as I want it, please change it to my original requirement”
→ “I see this turned out differently than expected. Can you walk me through it so I understand your approach?”
(Most times, the team knows better and the outcome is even stronger.)


Small swaps. Big shift.

I see more clarity, more credibility, and more ownership in every conversation.

That is what I want for myself, and for every founder I work with.


It is a muscle.

The more you use it, the more natural it gets.

The more natural it gets, the more results you will see. 

🚀


What is one phrase you stopped using that changed how your team works? I’d love to hear it.

I help tech founders like you find the words that align teams and make culture clear 🙌 (my Q1 is already filling up)
