Executive + Leadership
Coaching Programs

Helping experienced leaders, executives and founders/owners think clearly, lead confidently, and navigate complexity without carrying it all alone.

Leadership can be isolating

Leadership gets heavier as you progress. So, I work with leaders who want a trusted thinking partner; someone outside the politics, outside the noise, and focused on helping them lead well.

As an accredited leadership coach with the Australian Institute of Professional Coaches, coupled with over 16 years of leadership experience (including team management, board presence and business ownership), I help people navigate this complexity with clarity and renewed confidence.

What’s involved in Executive + Leadership Coaching?

Coaching with me is practical, thoughtful and grounded in real leadership experience I’ve shaped through years leading teams, running projects and working inside many of the same pressures you’re facing. It’s not theoretical leadership development, it’s a structured space to think, challenge assumptions, and work through the real situations you’re navigating right now.

My purpose throughout our partnership is to support you in moving from overwhelm to alignment; bringing clarity, steadiness and deeper insight to the complex scenarios and systems you operate within.

Typically I work with:

  • Senior leaders stepping into bigger, more challenging roles

  • Executives managing complexity, industry shifts and pressure

  • High performers carrying significant responsibility

  • Founders leading growing and transitioning organisations

  • Leaders navigating organisational change or conflict

  • People who others rely on, but who rarely have their own sounding board

Thank you, Sam, for being such a strong, insightful, and supportive coach. I would recommend Sam to anyone looking to make meaningful changes in their life. And as a bonus, she’s also a lot of fun to work with.

Flexible Coaching Packages

3, 6 or 10 Sessions

Sometimes you need focused support for a specific challenge. Sometimes you're in the middle of something bigger and need someone in your corner for the long haul. Coaching packages are designed to flex around both.

All sessions are 60 minutes, held fortnightly or monthly to suit your rhythm. Each one is yours: no fixed agenda, no prescribed framework. Just focused, responsive coaching built around what matters most to you right now.

Ongoing Coaching Retainers

Fortnightly or Monthly

Some of the most valuable leadership support isn't tied to a fixed number of sessions, it's the ongoing access to a thinking partner who knows your context, understands your operating environment, and is there when things shift.

A coaching retainer is for leaders who are consistently navigating complexity: senior roles with competing pressures, organisations in change, or the kind of work where the challenges keep evolving and you need someone who can keep pace with you.

With a retainer, we're not starting from scratch each time. I hold the thread of your work, including the goals, the dynamics, the decisions in progress, so our sessions can move quickly and go deep. Over time, this kind of continuity builds something a package can't: a coaching relationship that compounds.

Retainers run fortnightly or monthly, and includes access between sessions for those moments when something lands and you want to think it through before our next conversation.

This is the engagement type that tends to suit leaders who've already done some coaching work and know its value; or those in roles where the stakes are high enough that having a consistent, trusted outside perspective isn't a luxury, it's part of how they operate well.

Leaders say coaching helps them:

  • Think more clearly and calmly under pressure

  • Make better decisions with less noise

  • Feel more confident in their judgement

  • Lead with greater intention and alignment

  • Reduce the mental load they carry

  • Step out of reactive mode and into clarity

  • Handle complexity without feeling overwhelmed

Sam is warm and sharp at the same time, a pretty rare combination.

She has a knack for asking the questions you didn’t know you needed to be asked.

I would recommend Sam to any senior leader who wants to think more clearly, lead with more confidence, and get out of their own way.
