You know how to perform.
You've forgotten what for.
Career coaching for Executives and Managers
Aligning your career with the person you want to be.
You've built something solid. A career that looks right from the outside. But something has shifted, and the usual advice doesn't apply at your level. At this level, career questions are identity questions. And practical ones.
What kind of leader do I want to become? Where do I go next? And how do I get there?
​
I help you find clarity on what matters, and build the path that fits who you are becoming.
One-on-one. Built for where you are.
I offer A CUSTOMISED 3-4-MONTH JOURNEY, typically 6-8 sessions of 1.5 hours. We start with what you care about, your values, your patterns, what's been holding you back, and support you in taking the actions needed to transition to your next executive career step.
​
And because I also work in executive recruitment, I can help you prepare for interviews, sharpen your search strategy, and understand what actually makes a candidacy compelling at senior level.

We started nearly by chance and ended by sharing one of the most meaningful discussions I ever had.

Programme details
The programme may include the following components:
BUILDING A RELATIONSHIP
A good relationship with your coach is essential. After all, we can only make positive progress if we trust each other and if our expectations are well matched. In this first stage of your coaching, we make a commitment to the process, defining objectives and conditions of success and agreeing timelines and logistical details.
EXPLORING YOUR SELF
We slow down. We look at what's been shaping your choices, your values, your patterns, what you've been telling yourself about what's possible. From here, a clearer picture starts to emerge.
TAKING A STAND
We develop and verbalise a vision for your career. We deepen your self-exploration by examining the drivers that play a role in different domains of your life. Through practices, you also learn to listen more deeply to yourself and to stay connected to what matters to you.
PRACTICING YOUR WAY
You know what matters. Now you practice living it, making decisions from a clearer place, setting boundaries, moving toward what's actually yours.
Making it happen
We develop a practical action plan that can help you achieve your objectives. This may include steps such as building your professional network, reviewing your personal branding and upgrading your CV. You make a commitment to practicing these actions so you can build the career that you want.
ASSESSING IMPACT
The programme may finish here, or continue if you need more time. Either way, this is just the beginning of a longer journey.
What shifts.
FOR YOU
Career coaching can have significant benefits in both your personal and professional life, including:
01
CLARITY ON WHAT YOU ACTUALLY WANT, NOT WHAT'S EXPECTED OF YOU.
02
THE CONFIDENCE TO ACT ON IT
03
PATTERNS THAT WERE HOLDING YOU BACK are NAMED AND RELEASED.
04
CLEAR ACTION STEPS AND THE MARKET KNOWLEDGE TO BACK THEM UP.
05
A DIRECTION THAT FEELS LIKE YOURS.
FOR THE COMPANY
A leader who knows where they're going stops second-guessing. They make cleaner decisions, communicate with more conviction, and stop absorbing uncertainty into their team. The ROI isn't just personal, it shows up in every room they walk into.
Is this you?
My career coaching programme is designed for senior executives, senior managers and entrepreneurs.
You've built a solid career. But something has shifted, a role that no longer fits, a direction that feels borrowed, a question you keep pushing aside. You want clarity. And you want someone who understands both who you are and how the market works.
What I stand for
Most personal development stay in the head.
Mine begins in the body.
​​​​
For the past 20+ years, I’ve coached senior leaders, facilitated team transformation, and helped organizations recruit high-performing executives.
I do this through what’s called an Embodied Leadership approach, wich blends executive coaching, practices inspired by martial arts and modern neuroscience. We don’t just talk about leadership, we train it, through breath, posture, rhythm, and movement.
​​
​​​In most of my conversations, I come back
to four essentials:
Presence
The capacity to fully show up in the moment, clear, impacting, and connected.
Purpose
The inner compass that orients your leadership toward something greater than personal success.
Pattern
The unproductive habits that take over, especially under pressure.
Practice
The commitment to repeat what matters, until it shapes your leadership.
How to get started
THE RIGHT PARTNERSHIP
I like to meet my clients for an introductory session before we commit to the coaching programme. It allows us both to ensure that our personalities and our attitudes to the coaching process are compatible before we begin.
