1:1 private
executive coaching
Private coaching for ambitious leaders who want to stop people-pleasing, lead with more authority, and build a healthier life without sacrificing high performance.
My clients get paid more, promoted faster, work less, sleep better, and actually enjoy their lives
You've risen fast because you’re an exceptionally high performer. You’ve won awards, received global recognition, and had your career fast-tracked.
Yet your internal narrative hasn’t caught up. Inside, you feel like nothing you ever do is enough. You advocate for everyone else but yourself. Difficult conversations scare you. You neglect exercise, rest, sleep, and fun, because there isn’t enough time.
You’re constantly afraid you will be left behind or that something is lacking in you.
You know that there has to be more to life than this. You yearn to have fun, be respected, impact the world, and have hobbies and friends.
You want a big career AND a big life, because you weren’t meant to just be stressed and wither away. That's the work we do here.
5 signs you're ready for a different kind of support
You can advocate brilliantly for other people but don’t do it for yourself. You avoid hard conversations with your team, your boss, and yourself, because confrontation scares you.
You are an all-or-nothing thinker and think you have to give 200% or you’re failing.
You're the most senior you've ever been and the most burned out. Sleep, working out, and eating healthy are the last priorities on a very long list.
You've done therapy for years and have basically bought your therapist a second home in Byron Bay, but nothing has changed.
You overdeliver, yet you’re underrecognized and undervalued which leaves you feeling dejected and hurt.
I built my career at LinkedIn — promoted 5 times in 7 years — and ended up so burned out I couldn't walk to the grocery store. I know what it looks like to perform brilliantly on the outside while a dumpster fire is happening on the inside.
Since starting my coaching practice, I've coached senior executives, directors, and founders at the world's top companies through the same inflection points I navigated. I've developed a methodology that combines career strategy with Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy because you need both internal work and external strategy to change.
While I am a huge proponent of working hard, getting shit done, and changing the world, I don’t believe ambition should come at the cost of your health and fun.
"My manager noticed the change without me saying a word. I stopped undermining myself in stakeholder conversations — and suddenly I was being asked for input on things that had nothing to do with my role."

Strategy is useless if your programming underneath tells you that you’re “not enough.”
I have a corporate background and I'm a certified executive coach trained in therapy modalities that resolve patterns at a subconscious level. Many highly ambitious leaders have deep, dark parts of them that say they aren’t good enough, no matter what they achieve.
I work with you to resolve the “not-enoughness” parts of you first. Then I layer on the strategy and tactics that will help you, your career, and your team accelerate. After years of coaching, I realized you need both deep internal work and a structured external strategy to become a calmer, more confident leader.
This work is deep, exhilarating, empowering, and often fun.
Mind
We identify the parts of you that drive people-pleasing, imposter syndrome, conflict avoidance, and burnout, and work to resolve them at both the conscious and subconscious levels.
Strategy
This includes difficult conversations with team and stakeholders, salary negotiation frameworks, intentional career design, leadership presence techniques, stakeholder management strategies, and team management.
Wellbeing
Sleep, movement, relationships, and recovery are vital to your health and high performance because you can’t be a powerful leader if you’re hospitalized for burnout.
Who is this for
Senior leaders at an inflection point
Private clients work with me when they're at a crossroads: a promotion decision, a salary negotiation, a toxic work situation, a major career pivot, a health diagnosis, or simply a growing sense that something needs to change before burnout happens. Many of my clients see themselves in one of the archetypes below.
Which archetype are you?
The Rapid Riser
You've been promoted faster than your confidence has caught up. You're leading teams, managing up to the CFO, and keep wondering if you're supposed to be here.
The Underpaid Expert
You're carrying expanded scope — direct reports, new markets, bigger stakeholders — without the salary adjustment. You know you're below market. You don't know how to make the case without risking the relationship.
The Exhausted High Performer
You travel constantly, always deliver, and are always available. You’ve got Platinum Qantas status and you earned it. Your Oura ring data is screaming at you to slow down and sleep more, but you can’t because you just launched the Japanese market expansion.
The Invisible Senior Leader
You're doing the strategic work. You're influencing decisions. But you're not getting the visibility, the title, or the authority that reflects what you've actually built. You're waiting to be seen and starting to resent Mark getting all the credit (but you say nothing and seethe).
The Compassionate Leader Who Can't Give Feedback
You care deeply about your team. That's why you avoid hard conversations — but you realize avoiding them is doing more damage to them and to your career, and you need to gain authority without losing yourself in the process.
The Life & Career Juggler
A fertility journey. A major move. A marriage breakdown. A health diagnosis. Career doesn't pause for life and you need support in both areas so you can continue succeeding even when life doesn’t go as planned.
After six months of private coaching, here's what clients report.

Lead with authority and stop softening every opinion before it leaves their mouth
Give direct feedback without guilt to underperforming direct reports and stakeholders
Set work boundaries that actually stick, even during high-pressure periods
Sleep, move, and recover as non-negotiables
Get promoted into roles that reflect the work they're already doing
Leave toxic environments, or transform how they show up within them
Higher career satisfaction and increased performance ratings and reviews
"I'd spent years saying 'this is the last year.' Within three months I had the language, the strategy, and — for the first time — the actual belief that I was allowed to want something different."
