1:1 Life & Leadership Coaching for Finance Professionals
You don’t need to keep pushing through.
You need a way of working that actually supports your life, including your career ambition.
You need a better way to succeed in finance - without burning out or putting the rest of your life on hold.
YOU ALREADY KNOW:
Something isn't working.
The question now is what you're going to do about it.
Work is taking up more space than you want it to.
You’re constantly thinking about it.
And even when things go well… it still doesn’t feel sustainable.
You don’t need more advice.
And you don’t need to keep pushing harder.
You need a different way of working.
That’s what we do here.
What Makes This Coaching Experience Different?
The problem is the way you’ve learned to work
Ways of working that rely on:
overcommitting
staying constantly “on”
carrying more than you should
and giving more of yourself to your work to succeed
That might have worked to get you here.
But it won’t be sustainable where you’re going.
Most approaches focus on productivity
Doing more.
Doing more faster.
But that’s not the problem.
This is about redesigning how you work
So your success no longer depends on overworking.
What to Expect in this 1:1 Coaching Experience
I take a structured, yet personalized and practical approach to coaching finance professionals that helps you:
see clearly what's actually happening
think differently about success, expectations and pressure
work differently and in a way that supports your career ambition and the rest of your life
We don't jump straight to solutions.
We start by understanding your patterns, your assumptions and how your current ways of working are holding you back.
We explore possibilities.
Then we make small, intentional shifts that create immediate relief.
And we build from there.
The By Design, Not Default Framework
A structured way to redesign how you work so success no longer depends on sacrificing yourself or the rest of your life.
Most people are operating on default:
default ways of thinking
default work habits
default definitions of success and expectations of self
This work helps you step out of that, and start working by design.
The By Design, Not Default Framework
PHASE 1
Clarity and
Early Wins
From overwhelmed and self-critical →
to calm, clear, and back in
control
We start by stepping back and looking at your work and life as a whole.
Most clients come in feeling like they’re failing everywhere.
Very quickly, they realize they’re not.
They’re capable professionals operating in ways that aren’t working anymore.
We identify what’s actually creating pressure, and make a few small shifts that create immediate relief and momentum.
PHASE 2
You at Work
and Beyond
From reactive and overextended →
to aligned, intentional, and focused on what matters most
We define what success actually looks like for you in this season - and realign how you spend your time and energy to reflect it.
Instead of trying to do everything, you focus on what matters most.
And you start working in a way that supports both your career and your life.
PHASE 3
You and
Your Team
From carrying it all yourself →
to leading work and others in a way
that creates capacity
We redesign how work flows through you and your team.
You stop being the bottleneck.
You start delegating more effectively, developing your team, and letting go of control in a way that actually increases your impact.
Work gets lighter.
PHASE 4
You and
Your Stakeholders
From overcommitting and people pleasing →
to influencing, aligning and
working sustainably
We strengthen how you communicate, influence, and align expectations.
So your way of working can actually exist within the environment you’re in.
This is where everything clicks into place - and sticks.
What 1:1 Coaching Actually Looks Like
This is not theoretical.
We take what’s happening in your real work and life, and work through it together.
Coaching
Sessions
Each session helps
you:
understand what's not working and what could be different
make clearer, more intentional choices
implement changes that actually stick
Timely
Support
For six months, you'll have:
virtual 1:1 coaching sessions (offered weekly)
dedicated time and space focused on you and what would help the most in real time
between session e-mail coaching support
Real Time
Application
Timely, thoughtful coaching to help you move forward with clarity
For real-time situations that come up in your day-to-day so you're not left overthinking or defaulting to old ways of working
Over time, the changes you make through 1:1 and between-session coaching support compound.
And the way you experience your work, and your life, starts to shift.
The Transformation -
Work in a Way that Supports Your Career Ambition AND Your Life Outside of Work
You don't have to keep choosing between them
Stop feeling like work is something you have to "survive"
Start making decisions from clarity instead of pressure - at work and outside of work
Build a way of working that allows your career to enhance your life - not take away from it
Let's do this.
If you're at the point where you're questioning whether your current way of working is sustainable, let's design a new approach.
We'll
talk
about:
what’s currently feeling off or unsustainable
what you actually want instead
what's getting in the way
whether working together is the right next step for you
