About
Your team waits for you before they decide anything, and your day off isn't a day off. That isn't a personal failing. It's a pattern, and patterns can be changed. Grounded + Rising is a six-week online course for owners of small teams who want their business to run without them on every decision, led by psychologist Gudrun Smith (Dipl.-Psych.). Over six weeks you move through four stages: Assess, Accept, Recalculate and Advance. Each week brings short research-based lessons, a practical workbook and a live group session every Wednesday at 7pm Berlin time (6pm UK, 1pm US East Coast). By week six, a defined set of decisions is off your desk and your team handles them. Lighter, and still fully in charge. First round starts 13 January 2027. Founding price €297 (regular €497) until 8 January, limited to 10 places.

Frequently asked
Who is this for?
Owners of small teams (roughly 2–15 people) whose business works, but works because of them. If your team checks with you before deciding and your phone doesn't stop on your day off, this course is for you.
How much time do I need?
Around 30–45 minutes a week for the lessons and tasks, plus the 75-minute live session on Wednesdays.
What if I can't attend a live session?
Every session is recorded and added to the course afterwards. You can also send your question in advance, and Gudrun will answer it live.
When does it start?
The first round starts on Wednesday 13 January 2027 and runs for six Wednesdays until 17 February 2027.
Why is the price lower now?
This is the founding round. Founding members pay €297 instead of the regular €497, in exchange for honest feedback that helps shape future rounds. The founding price ends on 8 January or when the 10 places are filled.
Is this therapy?
No. The course is about how your business runs, built on psychological research. If you feel exhausted far beyond what your workload explains, please also talk to your doctor.
Is this grounded in real psychological research?
Yes. Every lesson draws on named research, such as Self-Determination Theory, implementation intentions and recovery research. It's led by a psychologist (Dipl.-Psych.), not a generalist coach.
What if I want individual support?
Grounded + Rising is also available as six-month 1:1 coaching. Book a free Clarity Call to talk about which option fits.
