Hey, I'm Rob Konterman
Founder turned coach
I co-founded Castor, a healthtech platform I scaled to 180 people. That journey taught me what mission-driven pressure really feels like.
Now I'm an EMCC-accredited coach, working with up to 12 impact founders to help them grow without losing themselves.
Most of the time I'm coaching the pattern. Some of the time I'm the operator who's done it, and I'll tell you what I'd do.

The Problem
Mission-driven, but running on fumes.
The organization is performing but you are paying the price.
You know your patterns
You've done the reflection, maybe even the therapy. Then the load rises, and the old autopilot wins.

The win wears off
You hit milestones but the joy wears off quickly. The next thing already has you.

The org is fine, you are not
The organization keeps performing. Your sleep, your evenings and the people at home pay for it.

The Solution
Same drive, cleaner fuel.
You keep the ambition. We change what's powering it.
Catch it in real time
You learn to spot the pattern while it's running. I hold you to the change when pressure returns.

Change your fuel mix
Working from curiosity and care instead of fear. Same ambition, and the wins start landing again.

Present where it counts
At work and at home. Boundaries that hold, evenings that stay evenings, energy that lasts.
