Clarity and Confidence for Senior Leaders in High‑Stakes Transitions

One‑to‑one coaching that helps you think clearly, decide with confidence and lead sustainably when it matters most.

Who I Work With 

I coach experienced senior leaders at pivotal moments, where clarity and decisions matter. You are likely carrying significant responsibility — perhaps stepping into a bigger role, navigating a turnaround, changing careers or returning to work after illness or burnout.

Typical situations include:

  • Stepping into a bigger or more complex role.
  • Navigating a demanding transformation, turnaround situation or strategic shift.
  • Changing careers, relocating or re‑entering a demanding role.
  • Returning to work after illness, burnout or a major life event.

You are not looking for motivation or generic advice. You want a structured, honest space where you can think clearly, be challenged constructively and move forward with purpose.


The Problem I Help Solve

My clients often come to me saying some version of: “I’m in a complex, high‑pressure situation and I can’t see clearly.”

Common challenges include:

  • Blurred priorities and decision fatigue.
  • Loss of confidence or direction during transition.
  • Overwhelm from competing demands at work and at home.
  • Identity shifts after a new role, career change or serious illness.
  • Pressure to perform while navigating change internally.

At such moments, focus can blur and confidence can drop. I know these challenges first-hand — both from my executive career and from navigating my own major change. That experience shapes my coaching: practical, focused, and rooted in real growth rather than quick fixes. Coaching gives you the space to think clearly, regain perspective, and move forward with confidence.


How Coaching Helps

I provide a calm, structured and challenging space where you can slow down, think rigorously and focus on what truly matters. My clients go on to:

  • Gain clarity on priorities, decisions and direction.
  • Strengthen confidence and presence in complex environments.
  • Build resilience to sustain performance and wellbeing.
  • Sharpen focus, balancing urgent demands with long‑term goals.
  • Enhance influence with their board, peers and teams.
  • Turn insight into concrete, sustainable action.

Each conversation helps you cut through complexity and move forward with purpose.


What I Bring

I combine 37 years as a former CFO and senior executive with deep experience of board‑level pressure and the realities of leading complex change. I understand what it feels like to navigate high‑stakes transitions from the inside — and I have navigated my own, including my own treatment for cancer and return to work.

My coaching is practical, empathetic and rooted in deep listening. I draw on the GROW coaching model and a human‑centred approach that supports the whole person, not just the role. I coach online in English, French and Spanish, with a specialist focus on coaching leaders returning to work after significant health issues.

EMCC Senior Practitioner coaching accreditation — I am accredited by the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC) as coach at Senior Practitioner level and hold a Professional Coaching Diploma from Optimus Coach Academy.
