Hi, I'm Marie-Claire

I work with CEO's, executives and managers who are ready to embark on a new leadership phase to accelerate both their personal and team's growth.

Work with Me

 

 

My mission is to support leaders in creating a thriving workplace where people are empowered to do their best work, feel connected to one other and believe in a meaningful future for the organisation.

Empowering leaders to grow trust, drive change, and energise their people.

 

With an entrepreneurial and market research background and over 20 years working with executives across industries, I bring insight, energy, and a deep understanding of what it takes to lead with clarity, trust and drive meaningful results.

I’m known for blending evidence-based frameworks with empathy and self-reflection — challenging the status quo while creating safe spaces for honest conversation and accountability.

Whether I’m working one-on-one, guiding a leadership team, or speaking to a room of 300, my customised approach lies in making the complex feel simple and helping people turn insight into real, lasting change.

 

Change is never easy —especially for leaders.

 

It requires shedding old habits, embracing uncertainty, and having the courage to see things differently. Much like a butterfly in transformation, leaders must move through discomfort to unlock their potential.

The cocoon may feel safe, but growth demands movement.

As a certified executive and organisational development change coach, I help leaders and teams evolve by providing a proven structure, practical tools, space for self-reflection, and interactive discussions that build trust, clarity, and momentum—so they can lead with confidence and create meaningful, lasting change.

Co-Creating the Right Solution—With You, Not For You

 

Every organisation is unique—and so are its challenges. That’s why I don’t offer off-the-shelf solutions. Instead, I work closely with you to understand your environment, people, and goals before we design anything.

This begins with asking the right questions and, where needed, conducting stakeholder interviews, analysing data, or reviewing existing reports. After every session, we debrief and adjust based on feedback and emerging needs—ensuring the work stays relevant and impactful.

Together, we get to the root cause of what’s holding your leaders or teams back. Then, I design targeted programs—from workshops and coaching to leadership intensives—that meet your people where they are and move them forward with clarity, confidence, and trust.

With over 25 years leadership experience and as a certified executive coach and graduate of AICD, I can help your organisation through times of change.

Why Work with Me

 

My work helps leaders become the version of themselves their people need—calm, courageous, and clear.

My thought leadership is grounded in two powerful, research-backed models: the Integrated Trust Building System™ and the Achievement Zone Model™.

These frameworks cut through the noise and give leaders the clarity they need to build trust, accountability, and performance into the daily rhythms of their teams. They’re not just models—they’re mindsets that empower leaders to lead with insight, courage, and connection.

If you’re ready to stop avoiding the hard conversations and start creating lasting cultural change, then book a no-obligation chat with me.
