How you operate from within shapes how far and how sustainably your business and your team can go.
1:1 sparring for founders and senior leaders who have reached a point where more effort, skill, or strategy is no longer the answer.
When the next stage of your business or role requires you to grow capacity,
not push harder.
The leadership reality this supports
At a certain point in your career or entrepreneurial journey, the work changes.
The challenge is no longer about knowing what to do, but about becoming the person who can sustainably do it.
Pressure increases. Responsibility expands. Decisions carry more weight. What used to work through effort, intelligence, or resilience alone now starts to strain.
This is often when leaders feel:
mentally overloaded or constantly "on"
reactive under pressure
unsure how to handle relational complexity
isolated in their role
unclear about the next direction, even if things look fine from the outside
This work exists for that moment: when something is off despite good strategy and mindset, the bottleneck is rarely effort, it’s how the human system is wired to operate.
Clients often come to me when
-
Their business is growing, but something feels off or they feel isolated at the top
-
Pressure and responsibility have increased faster than their capacity to hold them
-
They struggle with conflict, authority, or difficult conversations
-
Their team executes but doesn’t innovate or take ownership
-
They keep repeating the same challenges despite changing strategy, stuck in firefighting
-
Their mental health is on the edge, reactivity, overwhelm, or emotional intensity gets in the way
-
Boundaries between work and personal life have eroded, it's hard to take a break or family life gets messy
-
A key event is coming up (presentation, promotion, negotiation) and they need mental preparation
-
Stepping into a bigger role triggers old internal rules, like needing to struggle, prove, or overperform to feel legitimate
-
A partnership or team dynamic feels unstable, confusing, or limiting
Who this is for
This 1:1 work is for you if:
You are a founder, executive, or senior leader carrying real responsibility
You operate in complex, high-pressure environments
You are competent, driven, and self-aware, but sense you’re hitting a personal or relational limit
You want to lead without disconnecting from yourself or others
You are willing to look at how you lead your business, your team, your life, not only what you do
How the work unfolds and the transformation it supports
This work follows a clear, repeatable process, not linear, but cyclical and adaptative, designed to support awareness, regulation, and transformation over time.
This process draws from neuroscience, psychology, somatics, and philosophy, not as theory, but as practical tools to help you operate with clarity and responsibility under pressure.
-
We start by reducing reactivity and pressure. This creates enough internal safety to think clearly again, rather than operating on autopilot.
→ Inside: the nervous system settles, urgency softens.
→ Outside: decisions feel less rushed, conversations less charged. -
Together, we surface the internal rules, habits, and relational dynamics shaping your reactions and choices — often unconsciously.
→ Inside: insight replaces confusion or self-judgment.
→ Outside: recurring problems start to make sense instead of repeating blindly. -
We work on how you relate — to yourself and to others — especially in moments of tension, authority, or uncertainty.
→ Inside: greater steadiness, confidence, and emotional range.
→ Outside: cleaner communication, more trust, fewer unnecessary conflicts. -
Insight only matters if it changes how you operate. We prepare real conversations, decisions, and behaviours, in real time.
→ Inside: alignment between intention and action.
→ Outside: faster decisions, clearer boundaries, stronger leadership posture. -
We reflect on what shifts, what holds, and what emerges next. The work adapts as your role, context, or challenges evolve.
→ Inside: a growing sense of coherence and self-trust.
→ Outside: sustainable performance, healthier teams, and leadership that scales without burning out.
The Working Container
I work with a small number of clients at a time to preserve depth, discretion, and responsiveness.
Engagements are designed as clear containers, not programs, and adapt to the intensity of what you’re navigating.
This is not: business consulting, therapy, performance optimisation, a fixed program or framework
You remain responsible for your business and decisions. This work supports how you hold them.
Ongoing sparring
Designed for periods of high intensity, transition, or complexity.
Weekly 1:1 sparring sessions
Real-time access between sessions for urgent or sensitive situations
Support in the moments that matter most
Steady sparring
Designed for leaders who want consistent space without real-time access.
One weekly 1:1 sparring session
Space to reflect, build skills, and work through challenges
Next Step
We start with a conversation. An intro call allows us to explore:
→ what you’re navigating
→ whether this way of working is right for you
→ and if the fit feels mutual
If it is, we define a container that supports your reality.
