Who we work with

Returning Professionals

Reintegrating after time away

You’re returning to your role from maternity, illness, parental leave, redundancy or personal leave and want to find a secure place in your team and make a valued contribution. Executive coaching for the Returning Professional is about shrinking the time it takes to feel comfortable and delivering at your best.

Promoted Professionals

Suddenly unsure and feeling exposed

You’ve stepped into a bigger role and feeling unsure, under pressure, or overwhelmed. You want to feel secure and sure that the promotion was the right decision – for everybody. Executive coaching for the Promoted Professional is about facilitating performance that matches your potential.

Overlooked Professionals

Driven and dedicated yet overlooked and feeling frustrated

You’re the steady force behind successful outcomes but don’t feel ‘seen’ and don’t know whether you’re on succession plans. You notice peers being promoted and might be wondering “is there a future for me here?” Executive coaching for the Overlooked Professional is about getting clear on what you want, repositioning how stakeholders see you and achieving the progression and professional gratification you need.

Potential Partner

Carrying too much and running on empty

You’re capable, conscientious and known for delivering — which is exactly why everyone turns to you. You’ve got a big workload, an under-resourced team, high standards and a full life outside work. You struggle to delegate, say no or step back, and you can feel the weight of it all. Executive coaching for the Overloaded Professional is about reclaiming your focus, bandwidth and sense of control so you can perform sustainably at a high level.
