For C-suite executives, VPs and founders
Executive Coaching
The Strategic State Transformation™
My signature executive coaching engagement: a six-month, one-to-one partnership for C-suite executives, VPs and founders who are ready to lead from power instead of pressure, and to make that their natural way of operating rather than something they reach for on a good day.
Who this is for
You have already proven what you can do. Something more fundamental now needs to shift.
You lead at the top of your organization, and your decisions carry real weight. You are respected for your judgement and your results. Yet you notice that your best thinking is not always available when you need it most, and that sustaining your level of performance is costing more than it used to. You do not need another set of skills or tactics. You need a change in the state you lead from, one that holds under the heaviest load.
Leading from pressure
- Reactive decisions, then second-guessing
- Pulled off centre in high-stakes rooms
- Strategic thinking that comes and goes
- Driven by what you should do
- High performance that feels unsustainable
Leading from power
- Clear, confident decisions made from your values
- Steady presence when the stakes are highest
- Strategic capacity you can rely on
- Leading toward what you are truly building
- Performance you can sustain for years
Why it lasts
Five levels, worked together, in every session
Most coaching focuses on behaviour, which is why so much of it fades once the sessions end. This partnership is built on the Expanded State Method, which works across all five levels that shape how you lead at the same time. Because the change reaches the root of how you operate, it does not depend on remembering to practise it.
The six months
From insight, to change, to who you naturally are
Foundation
We get clear on what you are truly building beneath the noise and the pressure. Your Enneagram assessment, with its 40+ page personal report, gives us a precise picture of what helps you and what holds you back.
Deepening
The change starts to show in the moments that matter: board meetings, difficult conversations and high-stakes decisions. You begin leading from a steadier, more strategic place by default.
Integration
What took effort becomes natural. In a final integration session, we make sure the change holds on its own and map how you will carry it into your next level of leadership and the challenges ahead.
A true partnership
You are not on your own between sessions
Typical coaching means a meeting every few weeks and you are left to figure out the rest. This is different. I work with a small number of leaders each year so that every partnership gets my full attention, including in the moments between our sessions when it matters most.
What is included
- Twelve 60-minute sessions, one every two weeks
- Enneagram assessment with a 40+ page personal report
- Notes after every session, with clear next steps
- Unlimited text and call access to me
- The Taly AI coaching tool, available 24/7
- Weekly feedback on your reflection journal
- A final integration session
“Taly helped me to focus on what mattered to me, what I would thrive on and how I could get there.”

Questions leaders ask
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from executive coaching I have had before?
Most executive coaching focuses on skills and behaviour, which is why the results often fade once the sessions end. This partnership works across all five levels that shape how you lead under pressure, and you are supported between sessions, not only during them, with unlimited text and call access to me and the Taly AI coaching tool available 24/7. The goal is a change in the state you lead from, so it holds on its own.
How much of my time does it take?
Twelve 60-minute sessions, one every two weeks, followed by a final integration session. In the first month, you complete your Enneagram assessment and review your personal report. Between sessions, you spend about 10 to 15 minutes a week on your reflection journal. In total, that is roughly 19 to 22 hours over six months, scheduled around your leadership responsibilities. Text and call access is there whenever you need it, and it does not add to your scheduled time.
Is it virtual or in person?
Sessions are primarily virtual by secure video, which makes them easy to fit into a demanding schedule. In-person sessions at your location are also possible, with travel costs added.
Can my organization pay for it?
Yes. Some leaders invest in this work themselves, and for others it is funded by their organization. If your organization is sponsoring the partnership, I am glad to help you make the case internally.
What is the investment?
The investment reflects a six-month, high-touch partnership with a small number of leaders each year. We discuss it during the Strategic State Clarity Call, once we both know the partnership is the right fit. Payment can be made in two instalments.
Is our work confidential?
Yes. What you share in our sessions stays between us. When an organization sponsors the work, we agree at the outset on what, if anything, is shared with them.
What happens after six months?
The six months are complete in themselves, and the partnership is designed so the change lasts without me. Many leaders choose to keep working together afterwards, some over several years. When that happens, we design a new engagement around where you are and what you are taking on next.
How do I know if this is right for me?
That is exactly what the Strategic State Clarity Call is for. It is a complimentary conversation where we look at where you are, what pressure is costing you, and whether this partnership is the right next step. If it is not, I will tell you.
