Scaling Without Burnout: Sandi Webster’s Shift from 1:1 Coaching to Masterminds
Manage episode 490860756 series 3654798
In this episode of Founders Future, with host Ammar Elm, we sit down with Dr. Sandi Webster, founder of Sandi Webster LLC, a seasoned coach, consultant, and speaker who empowers women business leaders through advisory board development and strategic coaching. Sandi shares her remarkable journey from a 20-year corporate career in financial services to launching her own consulting firm that rehired talented women who left the workforce—eventually selling that business in 2016. She discusses the critical role advisory boards play in business growth, how to recruit high-value advisors without paying them, and why shifting from one-on-one coaching to group masterminds creates more impact (and sanity) for entrepreneurs.
Sandi dives into her unique approach to scaling businesses by focusing on execution over ideas, the power of peer accountability in mastermind groups, and why retreats often yield better results than virtual meetings. She also shares her lead generation strategies—leveraging speaking engagements, word-of-mouth referrals, and a disciplined social media presence—while emphasizing the importance of knowing when to say no to clients. For founders struggling with strategic gaps or isolation, Sandi’s insights on building a "free brain trust" through advisory boards are game-changing.
