LEAD WITH CURIOSITY
1-1 coaching for mid-career leaders
This could be for you if you're busy, stressed, and never have a moment to think.
1-1 coaching gets you out of the weeds so you can lead with less stress and more impact.
The pain you're probably feeling
You’re experienced, committed, and want to do good work.
But there's too much to do, and never enough time.
You're tired of trying to please everybody at work, and tired of being tired!
Every so often you lash at somebody, and then you think:
"No, this can't go on. There has to be a better way."
How it works
This programme gets under the surface to help you lead with less stress - and more impact.
1. Onboarding + Baseline
We start with a longer onboarding session so we're clear on where we're heading.
2. Fortnightly Coaching Calls
We meet every two weeks online. You’ll leave each session with clarity and an action plan.
3. Tailored Tools + Resources
You get access to a curated toolkit, shared as needed based on your specific context.
4. Accountability
I stay in touch each week to lightly keep you accountable to what we're working on.
What we work on
Our work is based around 4 critical areas that affect your stress and impact as a leader: your identity and your energy, your relationships and your decisions.
And it's grounded in curiosity: being interested but not attached.
What’s included (and why it matters)
Fortnightly 1:1 Coaching Sessions
Get the space and guidance you need to reflect and problem-solve, so you're not in reactive mode all the time.
The Communication + Leadership Toolkit
You’ll receive practical templates, scripts, and tools - shared at the right moment so you don't get overwhelmed.
Weekly Support
Stay accountable and supported between sessions with light-touch check-ins designed to keep your focus sharp and your momentum strong.
A Copy of The Question Effect book
This gives you lasting access to the key frameworks and stories that underpin our work, and a reference you can return to any time.
Emergency Support
Sometimes s**t hits the fan. Maybe a team member goes rogue or a board member throws a curveball. You’ll have a direct line for quick guidance when you need it most.
The Investment
Ultimately, this programme is about reclaiming 5-15 hours per week for higher-impact work.
It's also about protecting a six-figure salary and your career trajectory.

If your organisation is paying, these fees exclude GST.
But if you're paying for it out of your personal pocket, these fees include GST. (In other words, you get a 15% discount.)
Most clients tell me this investment pays for itself within weeks - just by reclaiming lost time, avoiding burnout, and making better decisions.
What's the value for your organisation?
If you're looking to get workplace support, here's how it'll benefit them:
- Reduced turnover risk: Sustainable leadership means you're less likely to burn out and leave (avoiding the 25% cost of your salary that it takes to find and recruit a replacement).
- Improved engagement and productivity: Gallup's research has found that ~80% of employees are disengaged and this costs millions in lost productivity and sick days.
- Better decision-making: You'll do more of the work that truly matters and less of the busywork that drains your energy.
- Stronger stakeholder relationships: When you reduce overwhelm, you can engage better with important stakeholders - leading to better outcomes.
What makes me different?
There are a number of reasons why my clients choose me. These include:
- I wrote the book. My book The Question Effect supports this coaching programme.
- You deal with me. From your enquiry to your final coaching conversation, you only deal with me.
- I use my own IP. No one else is licensed to deliver my stuff.
- I get you. I've worked in many different leadership roles: in big government departments, plucky non-profits and in a business consultancy too.
- I'm real and authentic. People enjoy the lightness I bring to heavy issues - keeping it human rather than hiding behind jargon.
You might be asking yourself...
Some clients fund this themselves. If you're serious about getting time back and making your career sustainable, you’re worth the investment.
That’s why I offer a 30-day guarantee. If you’re not happy after the first session, I’ll refund you 100%. There needs to be a good fit both ways.
Ummm, yeah. That’s why you need this. You’re doing too much. We’ll fix that.
You've got access to me via Whatsapp any time. I'm not interested in counting sessions or hours.
