Marie-Claire Ross -Executive Coach, Leadership Speaker & Author

FAQ

• Who do you work with?

  For individual coaching, I typically work with leaders who are stepping into bigger roles, carrying a lot of responsibility, navigating complexity or change, or wanting to lead with more clarity, confidence, and accountability . This includes emerging leaders, mid-level managers, senior leaders, executives, founders, and business owners who want to do deeper leadership work — not just to collect quick tips. Executive coaching is best for senior leaders and leadership coaching for middle managers and emerging leaders.

  For team work, I work with leadership teams, executive teams, and management teams who want to strengthen trust, improve collaboration, work through tension, and create better alignment and performance. This can include team building workshops, executive team workshops, leadership offsites, and practical sessions that help teams understand how to work better together.

  For organisations, I usually work with midsize to large businesses and organisations that want stronger leaders, healthier team dynamics, and a more accountable, high-performing culture. That may include growing companies, organisations going through change, and teams that need support to lead better, communicate more effectively, and perform without everything depending on one person. If you’d like to explore this in more detail, you can learn more on my Leadership Programs page.

• What’s your approach?

  My approach is thoughtful, practical, and tailored to the person, team, and context in front of me. I customise both coaching and workshops so the work is relevant, grounded, and aligned with what’s actually needed.

  I believe meaningful change comes from doing both inner work and outer work. Inner work includes self-reflection, awareness, mindset, and personal ownership. Outer work focuses on how people and teams operate in practice — including team dynamics, communication, planning, accountability, and ways of working together.

  My approach is also grounded in my Integrated Trust Building System and Achievement Zone Model, which underpin how I help leaders and teams build trust, strengthen accountability, and improve performance in a sustainable way.

   

• Where are you based?

  I’m based in Melbourne, Australia, and I work with clients locally, nationally, internationally and remotely. This means we can work together in a way that suits your location, schedule, and preferences.

• How do I work with you?

  We can work together in a way that fits your needs, whether that’s one-to-one coaching, leadership coaching, executive coaching, or team-based work. I offer flexible ways of working so support can match your goals, responsibilities, and schedule. Most people begin by booking a confidential conversation to explore what’s happening, what support would be most useful, and whether we’re the right fit to work together.
