Executive Coaching

Next Level Success Without the Stress

Are you a C-Suite Executive of a small, medium or fast-growing organisation who wants to develop sustainable strategies to get to the next level without sacrificing your health and life outside of work?

The executives I work with have had a great measure of success, but it has come at a cost.  Often, they have sacrificed their time outside of work with family and friends, or their mental and physical health has suffered. 

Do any of these sound familiar?

  • You feel like you need to step back and see the bigger picture, but you don’t have the space to do that.
  • You have fear around the future.
  • You struggle with not sleeping well.  
  • You experience ‘imposter syndrome,’ and are worried that your self-perceived incompetence will be seen.
  • You survive on adrenaline.
  • You want to get fit and healthy, but this always ends up at the bottom of the list and is the first thing to go when the pressure ramps up.
  • Your family gets the worst of you. You’re grumpy and impatient a lot of the time. 
  • You find yourself thinking, ‘I will just wait till I have achieved this next deadline and then I will …. get fit, eat well, spend time with my wife, (fill in the blank)’.
  • You want to make a difference and you know the next step is important but you don’t know how to go about it.
  • The last step took a toll on you. While another go at it would tick the success box, you don’t know if you’re willing to pay the soul-crushing price. 
  • You are invited to go for the top roles, but you wonder deep down if you have what it takes. 

What if you could BOTH win at work AND in your personal life?

I am dedicated to helping you develop a sustainable strategy to succeed professionally and personally so that you can live a life free of regret.  

As a result of coaching with me, you can expect the following:

  • Clarity about what you want and why you want it.
  • Confidence that you are making good decisions in your life.
  • Greater focus on the long term.
  • Strength to say no to things that will get in the way.
  • More freedom and autonomy.
  • Less stress and anxiety.
  • Excitement about the future.
  • The ability to switch off from high-pace work more quickly.
  • More fulfilling relationships.
  • Improved physical health.
  • Clearer thinking. 
  • Higher meaningful productivity that’s well regulated.
  • More emotionally balanced. 
  • Taking charge of life, not living on the back foot. 

Just imagine that for a moment.

The Key to Next-Level Success Both at Work and at Home

When we work together, I will connect you to what’s most important in a deep, visceral, exciting way. 

As a result, your vision expands, and your focus sharpens.

Your why becomes the fuel that motivates you to take risks, overcome obstacles and move further than you ever thought possible.

When your vision is multi-dimensional (not just work!), then you come alive in a way you’ve probably never experienced. That’s the right direction.

Having suffered burnout in my career, I have an absolute passion for helping others avoid its debilitating effects. 

It took a whole year to recover from burnout. 

I was mentally, emotionally and physically exhausted. I couldn’t sleep. I lost my appetite. I lost any sense of what I wanted in life. Sometimes, I thought I would never be able to move again. I never want others to have to experience that.

Today, clients come to me for a safe, non-judgemental space to process whatever is going on for them, and nothing is off-limits. We work together to find their new, next level of success in their whole life — without the stress.

I have also witnessed the detrimental effect an unhealthy leader can have on an organisation’s culture. It’s my life’s work to help organisational executives flourish in all areas of their lives because of the far-reaching positive influence it can have.

I have the most success with clients who: 

  • Have ambitious growth goals.
  • Want to be stretched.
  • Are willing to try new things and take risks.
  • Are open and honest.
  • Recognise that they need to put the work in to change things.

If you want to be impactful in all areas of your life, then now is the time to get started.

Drop me a line, and let’s make a plan for next-level success without the stress. 

“Most people know what they want deep inside. The issue is that they don’t know how to get it, so they stop short.  I help to uncover those deep desires and make what seems impossible possible.”

Testimonials

“Marianne is an exceptionally talented coach. She was an amazing strategic partner to have alongside me while I pursued my purpose and career direction. Marianne helped me to get razor sharp clarity on what I wanted from life and work. Some two years on I am reaping the rewards and thriving in a new vision for my life and career, and equipped with the tools I will need along the way.”

— STEPHANIE BROBBEY

“Marianne is a gifted coach! She has coached me at a personal level as well as facilitated some vision days with my leadership team, both with long lasting effects.

Her personal coaching prepared helped during a role transition – helping me reconnect and clarify my purpose which prepared me to apply for the right CEO position and then transition successfully into it over the past 2 years.

She also led some Vision workshop days with my leadership team from which we developed a vision which has provided strategic direction through my first two years in post, including during the Covid pandemic, which will continue to provide a foundation for the coming years.

Since then, Marianne has proposed another mentor to guide me in this new season which has also been a great success. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Marianne or to use her again if the opportunity arose.”
