As your career changes, so might you. You know how to lead. You might not yet know who you are leading as. I work with executives in just that space. Not to rush you into the new role, but to help you meet it clearly, so what you build next is intentional.
Most executives arrive here mid-sentence. The old certainties of what you were responsible for, who reported to you, what your judgment was for are loosening, and the new ones have not quite arrived. You might notice yourself reaching for old habits that no longer fit, or feeling unsettled by reactions from people around you that don’t quite make sense yet.
That unsettling phase is not a problem to fix quickly. It is information and data. Working together over four phases, we slow down enough to actually read what is shifting in your role, in your relationships and how you see your own judgment. Before deciding what patterns and habits to carry forward and what to leave behind.
The outcome is not just your increased confidence going into the next role. It is your capacity to hold complexity without needing to resolve it prematurely. Usually the things that made you so effective in the first place, are very things that put transitions under real pressure.
One-to-one work, usually over 3 or 6 months, for executives in the middle of a role change, industry move, or identity shift that has not fully landed yet. We work through four phases noticing what’s actually shifting, making sense of it, testing new ground, and consolidating what you are taking forward. This is not advice about your next career move. It is the space to think clearly enough that the move is intentional.
Executive teams do not transition individually, they transition together, unevenly, often without saying so out loud. I design and facilitate sessions (virtual, in-person, or hybrid) that give a team the room to work out loud: what is changing, where people actually disagree, and what the team needs to hold together through it. This is for leadership groups navigating change collectively, not a skills or competence training day.

“Change doesn’t happen because one person decides to change. It happens in the ongoing back-and-forth between people, the patterns they keep making together.”

Working with Annie during my transition gave me the confidence to explore different angles and ideas, even goals. The process we followed was very accessible but also powerful enough to allow me to reflect on my own values and what mattered most.
