Question 1

What is executive coaching?

Accepted Answer

The International Coaching Federation (ICF) defines coaching as "partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential." At the executive level, this process is the key to unlocking previously untapped sources of innovation, productivity, and leadership presence.

In my practice, I take this definition a step further. I view coaching as a collaborative, evidence-based intervention designed to build your capacity for high-impact decision-making and relational intelligence.

Rather than simply providing instructions, I provide a secure psychological space where we utilize a wide range of IO Psychology tools and strategic frameworks to dismantle the barriers holding you back. My goal is to empower you to navigate complex challenges independently, leveraging vulnerability and radical honesty as the catalysts for your long-term evolution.

Question 2

Why do I need coaching?

Accepted Answer

The reality is that high-performing leaders rarely need coaching to survive; you have likely reached your current position through sheer talent and resilience. Success is possible on your own. However, at the highest levels of leadership, the question isn't about survival, it is about optimization and sustainable impact.

Just as an elite athlete utilizes a specialist to refine the mechanics that the untrained eye misses, executive coaching provides the psychological and strategic mirror required to identify the hidden barriers in your leadership.

By partnering with a coach who integrates doctoral-level IO Psychology with a belief in your untapped potential, you gain the ability to dismantle the ‘mask of perfection’ and remove the internal friction stalling your progress. This partnership doesn't just help you reach your goals; it allows you to evolve into a version of yourself that is more congruent, courageous, and impactful than you ever imagined possible.

Question 3

How are you different from other coaches?

Accepted Answer

What sets my practice apart is the integration of high-level strategy with the deep science of human behavior. My methodology has been refined over a decade of navigating the complexities of organizational dynamics and the psychological drivers of leadership.

I have partnered with a diverse spectrum of global leaders, across varying industries and cultural backgrounds, to bridge the gap between technical expertise and relational intelligence. My ability to identify the precise internal barriers holding a leader back allows me to provide the exact psychological and strategic tools required for a breakthrough.

Furthermore, I bring a unique multi-dimensional lens to every engagement. As an experienced management consultant and a Ph.D. in Industrial and Organizational (IO) Psychology, I don't just offer advice; I apply Project Management rigor, Change Management strategy, and Doctorate-level research into a cohesive framework. My practice is anchored in my specialized research on leadership vulnerability, ensuring that every strategy we develop is evidence-based, sustainable, and designed for deep organizational impact.

Question 4

How long does coaching take?

Accepted Answer

The duration of our engagement is determined by the complexity of your leadership landscape and the depth of the evolution you wish to achieve. True behavioral change, moving from a 'mask of perfection' to a state of congruent, high-impact leadership, is a process of dismantling long-held patterns and architecting new, evidence-based habits.

While specific, high-stakes breakthroughs can occur in as little as two sessions, most executives find that a 3 to 6-month commitment allows for the sustained psychological work required to solidify new leadership mindsets and achieve measurable organizational results.

I invite you to book a strategic discovery session. During this conversation, we will assess your current challenges and define a partnership timeline designed to bridge the gap between your present reality and your long-term vision.

Question 5

Can I talk with you first before signing up?

Accepted Answer

A high-stakes partnership requires a foundation of mutual trust and absolute transparency. I invite you to book a strategic discovery session to explore your leadership objectives and determine if my vulnerability-driven IO Psychology framework is the right catalyst for your evolution.

I am committed to the highest standards of professional integrity. If, during our conversation, I determine that my specific methodology is not the ideal fit for your current challenges, I will be the first to let you know and, where possible, provide a referral that better aligns with your needs. My priority is ensuring that your investment in coaching yields the transformative impact your leadership deserves.
