ScalePassion Founder Roundtables
As the Founder Goes, So Goes the CompanyHow Your Stress Shapes Your Culture
Your stress does not stay with you. It can become your company’s urgency, overwork, and culture.
With Bethany Davis, facilitated by Rob Craven
The Founder Roundtable Series
A Place to Work on What Matters
ScalePassion Founder Roundtables bring a small group of founders together to work through the questions that matter most as their companies grow. Each session combines honest conversation, a practical exercise, and perspectives from people who understand the weight of leading a growing business.
You will bring your own situation into the room and leave with a clearer view of what to do next.

What Your Team Experiences Under Pressure
A founder’s internal state rarely stays personal. Stress can become urgency. Overwork can become an unspoken expectation. People-pleasing can create commitments the team cannot sustain, while reactivity can make it harder for people to speak openly.
When pressure rises, your team notices how you respond. Your tone, decisions, and availability can shape what people believe is expected of them, often before you have said a word about the culture you want to build.
This roundtable is a chance to notice those patterns without judgment, and to practice a steadier way to lead when the stakes feel high.
The Work We Will Do Together
Notice the Pattern. Choose Your Response.
In this 90-minute roundtable, Bethany and Rob will help you explore:
How you tend to respond when pressure rises
What your team may experience when you are stressed
How your reactions influence decisions and communication
How to recognize when you are reacting instead of leading
What you can do before a difficult meeting or conversation
This is a practical, interactive conversation, not a presentation or therapy session. You will work with your own leadership situations and learn alongside other founders.
What You Will Leave With
More Clarity Under Pressure
