Personalised Coaching From Someone Who's Been There
People and organisations are both looking for the same thing – alignment of values and direction. But when we’re searching for jobs or trying to grow in our careers, we focus on skills and tasks rather than what I call “power skills” – how you approach problems, find solutions, and provide direction.
My coaching is rooted in actual C-suite experience. I’ve been in executive positions myself, and I’ve also hired executives. I understand both sides of the table, which means I know what it takes to succeed at that level and what hiring managers are actually looking for.

Career Coaching
When you’re looking for a job, the world thinks, “They must be flying high; it can’t be any problem for them.” But the reality is different. Our career coaching isn’t just about updating your CV and LinkedIn, but focuses on belonging versus just fitting in.
We start with deep exploration to identify your values and what you do uniquely well that creates value for organisations. I’ll stay with you throughout the entire process until you find the job you want. When rejections hurt (and they do, no matter who you are), I’m there to bring you back to reality. When it’s time to negotiate, I help you get what you’re worth – typically 10-20% more than you thought possible.
When you find a place where you belong – where your values align with the organization and you believe in the company’s direction – you become a better leader and make a greater impact. That’s not just good for you; it’s good for the organization too. When there’s true alignment, everyone benefits.
Executive coaching
Everyone faces self-doubt and challenging situations they don’t know how to solve – even successful executives. It’s lonely at the top and, sometimes, it can be hard to see the forest for the trees. When you’re in an executive role, having someone with an outside perspective – someone who understands the unique stresses and responsibilities you face – can be invaluable. It also doesn’t hurt to have somebody else in your corner for those times when the shit really hits the fan.

our Process
Coaching Tailored
To fit You
What makes our approach different is that we focus on value creation, not just skills or experience.
At the executive level, you’re not hired to complete tasks—you’re hired to achieve business outcomes. Instead of saying “I’m good at problem-solving,” you’ll learn to communicate that “I open up new opportunities” or “I find solutions to business challenges.” People love this process because it gives them clarity about how to present themselves rather than just listing skills. You’ll learn to articulate your “special sauce” and the specific value you create for organizations. This shift in perspective makes all the difference in positioning yourself as an executive who doesn’t just fit in but truly belongs in the role you’re seeking.
Our coaching process is highly personalised and from our very first call we’ll be looking at things like where you’re at right now, what you are dealing with at work, what your aspirations are, if we can work together, and whether or not we can actually help you. This’ll tell us what areas we need to focus on and which exercises might help us to achieve your goals.

At this stage we will deconstruct your career journey to identify strategic strengths and leadership assets. We will extract key inflection points and red threads. I will provide future mapping exercise to define desired leadership direction and impact area.
In this module we will create a coherent, professional leadership narrative. We will work on the clarification of leadership style, personal values, and your unique contribution. We will structure your personal storytelling for CVs, LinkedIn profiles, and networking conversations.
We will define your target role, sector, environment and leadership culture fit and develop a strategic market map based on ambition and values. We focus on an alignment of career goals with real-world opportunities.
We will be training in executive-level job search tactics including recruiter engagement, direct outreach and network activation. We will build professional visibility in targeted markets and sectors and structure outreach campaigns and proactive opportunity creation.
The focus here lies on the preparation for executive and board-level interview scenarios. We will be training in framing, strategic storytelling and objection handling and develop an executive presence, gravitas and narrative control.
Finally, we will strategically evaluate offers, including benchmarking, risk assessment and decision modelling. We will develop assertive, respectful negotiation techniques and structure the negotiation conversation across salary, bonus, benefits, equity and conditions.
