The Secret Behind High Performing Executive Teams


Executive Leadership Coaching 


After years of climbing the ladder, many senior executives reach the top floor—only to realise the view has changed.

What once worked no longer resonates, and without realising it, some leaders begin to plateau—losing touch with the evolving needs of their teams and the pace of today’s business landscape.

As a CEO or HR Director, it’s frustrating to see once high-performing leaders struggle quietly (or be oblivious). They’re not hitting their stride—or their results.

You might notice:

  1. Their team members feel undervalued, underdeveloped, or disempowered.

  2. Engagement scores drop—and so do performance outcomes.

  3. Innovation slows, and energy in the department fades.

  4. The CEO finds themselves stepping in to provide direction and accountability that should be coming from their leaders.

  5. A pattern of agreeing to change, but no real action is taken.

Meet your Executive Coach

 

Hi, I'm Marie-Claire Ross.

 

I'm a certified executive coach with over ten years experience coaching executives and managers.

I love helping CEOs, founders and executives get the clarity they need to change outdated beliefs that are causing frustration and unhappiness.

Whether that's negative beliefs about themselves, their teams or even their organisation. Beliefs that not only hold them back, but ensure that their leadership style remains stuck.

It is a great privilege for me to help executives gain clarity, feel less frustrated, find joy in their work and more certainty in their decisions.

I do that in a variety of ways from using my own tools or processes, or helping executives determine which zone they are operating from.

Achievement Zone Model

for Executive Leadership Coaching

 

At the heart of my executive coaching approach is the Achievement Zone model, from my book, Trusted to Thrive: How leaders create connected and accountable teams.  It helps leaders assess and improve how they’re showing up for their teams. It’s built on the principle that sustainable performance comes from balancing psychological safety with accountability.

Executive Coaching Process

 

My executive coaching process has been designed to ensure that leaders are fully supported in their growth. A lot of the foundational work is to help you understand yourself better to minimise stress and align you to what makes you happy.

My coaching program includes: 

  • An Enneagram assessment, report and debrief (to uncover your leadership strengths)
  • 8 x 1 hour coaching sessions
  • Optional: 3 x check-ins with direct manager (to improve accountability and blind spots)
  • A copy of my book, Trusted to Thrive
  • Leadership and personal development tools (dependent on individual needs)
  • Phone and email access to me
