That’s where your next level begins.

 

If this message resonates, let’s talk.

I’ve been where you are.

For nearly 30 years, I led global teams at Shell. The stakes were high, the pace was constant, and I carried it all.

 

On the outside, I was calm and capable. Inside, I was overfunctioning, trying to control outcomes, prove my worth, and hold everything together.

 

The turning point came when I realized leadership wasn’t about effort or control. It was about presence.

 

When I slowed down, listened more deeply, and trusted myself, everything shifted. My influence grew, my team thrived, and the pressure lost its hold.

 

That experience became the foundation for Rise to Executive Level, a process that helps other leaders make the same shift from proving to presence and from pressure to composure.

This work changes more than leadership.

It changes you.

Rise to Executive Level

An 8-week private coaching experience for leaders ready to rise with calm confidence.

The next level of leadership isn’t about control or perfection.
It’s about clarity, composure, and influence that comes from within.
Rise to Executive Level is a private coaching experience for high-performing leaders who are ready to stop proving and start leading.
Through emotional intelligence, nervous-system regulation, and practical leadership tools, you’ll learn to turn pressure into presence and performance into influence.
By the end, you’ll have the calm confidence and authentic authority that define true executive presence.

To give every client the focused attention this work deserves, I only take a small number of private clients each month.

If you’d like to explore whether this is the right next step for you, I offer a complimentary strategy session to talk through what’s going on and see if we’re a fit.

Perhaps it’s not about working harder. It's about leading with more presence.

When you stop proving and start leading from presence, everything begins to shift.

Your thoughts slow down.

Your confidence grows quieter but stronger.

You start influencing the room without having to control it.

This is what separates great performers from true executives.

And it all begins with awareness.

The Hidden Cost of High Performance

You’ve done everything right. You’ve built a career on results, reliability, and relentless effort.

But when the pressure rises, so does the noise.

You overprepare. You second guess. You replay conversations long after they’re over.

On the outside, you look composed.

Inside, you’re running at full speed and wondering how long you can keep it up.

The truth is, the habits that got you here, control, perfection, and overfunctioning, won’t take you to the next level.

They don’t create influence. They create exhaustion.

What got you here isn’t what will elevate you.
