Coaching for
Senior Executives

I offer a rare space to reflect before decisions hit the spotlight—so you can act with clarity, authority, and impact.

Who I work with

I work with senior executives who need more than quick-fix advice — they need deep, system-wide change that endures. Drawing on decades of leadership experience — reporting directly to C-level executives, boards, and owners, and later holding an authorized-representative position in a global logistics group — I understand the political, financial, and human pressures you face as a leader every day. Typical Challenges we address: Post-Merger Culture Clash You’ve just combined two organisations, but behind the polite smiles are unspoken loyalties and subtle sabotage. Momentum stalls while everyone waits for “the real” new order to emerge. Together, we surface hidden dynamics, craft a unifying story, and channel anxiety into forward energy — so the integration delivers on schedule. Leading Experts Who Out-Know You Your strategic mandate relies on brilliant specialists whose technical depth exceeds your own. They question direction, and formal authority alone won’t move them. We redefine leader-expert roles, negotiate mutual expectations, and deploy influence strategies that respect autonomy while aligning contributions. Hybrid-Workforce Drift Screens connect people, yet cohesion erodes: silos harden, engagement scores dip, your virtual town-halls feel flat. We diagnose where the system has lost containment, redesign rituals and digital spaces, and re-establish a shared rhythm that restores commitment and pace. Board-Level Power Tangles Conflicting stakeholder agendas quietly derail your strategy in the boardroom. You need to navigate rival coalitions without losing focus or political capital. I map the psychodynamic “boardscape,” coach you in role negotiation, and equip you to manage boundaries with authority and grace. Personal Sustainability Under Relentless Pressure As the organisational linchpin, you carry decision fatigue and isolation few can see. Performance demands rise, recovery time shrinks. Our work provides a confidential space to process pressure, strengthen inner authority, and install regenerative practices that preserve your edge — and your wellbeing.

How we work together

Coaching is distinct from consulting or therapy. While consulting typically offers expert solutions and therapy addresses personal psychological issues, coaching focuses on your development within your professional and organizational context. In coaching, you set the agenda: we work collaboratively to explore your questions, sharpen your insights, and achieve the goals that are meaningful to you. Ultimately, our work together aims not just to address immediate challenges, but to strengthen your long-term ability to lead with clarity, resilience, and authenticity.

Foundations
of my work

My work is deeply grounded in the systems-psychodynamic tradition developed at the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations. This approach views organizations not only as rational structures but as emotional and social systems shaped by unconscious processes. At Tavistock, important concepts such as the primary task, roles, boundaries, and authority are understood not just at the formal level but in terms of the underlying emotions, defenses, and group dynamics that influence behavior. Organizations often mirror hidden anxieties, collective defenses, and unspoken expectations — and leaders are deeply affected by, and in turn shape, these dynamics. In supervision and coaching, I help my clients to: Explore the hidden dynamics that influence individual, group, and organizational behavior Understand their role not just as a formal position, but as a psychological function shaped by the system’s needs and projections Strengthen their capacity to work at the boundary between different stakeholder groups, interests, and emotional realities Reflect on how authority and leadership are constructed, challenged, and internalized within complex systems Recognize and work with defensive patterns (such as splitting, projection, scapegoating) that emerge under pressure This way of working goes beyond surface-level problem-solving. It offers a deeper, more durable transformation — both for the leader personally and for the organizations they serve. My training at the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations and INSEAD, combined with my practical leadership experience and my continued engagement with the ESMT Coaching Colloquium, ensures that my theoretical foundation is both rigorous and practically relevant for today’s complex organizational realities.
