THRIVE COACHING

I help hyperconnected leaders get their weekends back - without stalling their career.
You built a great career now let's make sure it doesn't cost you everything
65%

of professionals believe sacrificing work-life balance is necessary for career success — this belief is even stronger among managers than individual contributors.

 

SurveyMonkey Workplace Culture & Trends Study, 2025

$20.7K

annual cost of a burned-out executive to their organization — in lost productivity, absenteeism, and health costs alone. Non-executive burnout costs ~$4K/yr; the gap reflects how much a leader's disengagement ripples outward.

67%

of coaching clients report measurable improvement in work-life balance — a documented outcome from the largest global study of coaching results ever conducted.

does this sound like you?

You're Succeeding on Paper.
But Something Feels Off.
You've earned your title. You're good at your job — really good. The kind of person who gets called when things go sideways and gets results when it matters most.
 
But somewhere along the way, the pace stopped feeling sustainable. You're missing things you can't get back. You can't remember the last time you felt genuinely rested. And the version of your life you imagined when you were working toward this role looks different from what you're actually living. 
The worst part? You've been told — directly or implicitly — that this is just what success requires. That the people who make it to the top don't get to have both.

"Nearly two-thirds of workers believe sacrificing work-life balance is necessary for career success — and that belief is even stronger among managers and senior leaders than individual contributors."

— SurveyMonkey Workplace Culture & Trends Study, 2025 (n=3,573 U.S. full-time

workers)

That belief is the problem. Not your ambition. Not your organization. The belief. I built my practice to dismantle it — because the executives who sustain long, impactful careers aren't the ones who grind hardest. They're the ones who learned to lead strategically and protect what matters most.

56%

of leaders report feeling burned out — and it's rising.

 

Up from 52% the prior year. Middle managers hit 71%. This is an accelerating leadership crisis, not a stable trend.

40%

of women have left or considered leaving a job for better work-life balance

The double bind for women in leadership is real and measurable —

and solvable.

SurveyMonkey Workplace Culture & Trends Study, 2025

51%

of workers have missed important life events because of work.

Not hypothetically. Actually missed them — family events, health

appointments, relationships.

Yomly Work-Life Balance Statistics Report, 2026

7x

median ROI of executive coaching on investment.

86% of companies that tracked coaching ROI reported positive

returns. The median is 7x. Coaching isn't a cost — it's one of the

highest-leverage leadership investments available.

I Work With

senior leaders who are tired of choosing
My clients are high-achieving Directors, VPs, SVPs, and C-suite leaders who have built successful careers — and are quietly paying a price they didn't sign up for.
The High-Performer Running on Fumes

You're hitting your numbers, leading your team, and delivering results. But behind the scenes you're exhausted, overscheduled, and running on adrenaline you're not sure you can sustain much longer. You don't want to slow down. You want to stop running on empty.

The promotable leader who's starting to wonder

You're on a strong trajectory — more responsibility, more visibility, more opportunity. But you're also starting to wonder: if the next level comes with even less life, do you actually want it? You're not looking to step back. You're

looking for a better model.

the executive who missed one too many things

There was a moment — a recital, a dinner, an anniversary, a health scare — that made it concrete. You don't want more of those. You're ready to build something different, but you need a strategy that doesn't require you to sacrifice what you've built.

the leader rediscovering herself

Somewhere in the last few years, you lost track of who you are outside of your title. Your career is intact. But you're not sure you are. You're ready to lead with intention — not just endurance — and build a version of success that actually feels like it.

About

iPEC Graduate | ICF Member | ELI-MP Certified | 10+ Years in Corporate HR | MS in Organizational Theory  from NYU:

I know these organizations from the inside.

Before I became an executive coach, I spent over a decade as an HR

Business Partner inside companies you'd recognize — Celonis, DailyPay, Hugo Boss, Hachette Book Group. I sat at the table where promotion decisions were made. I watched succession planning conversations happen in real time. I saw who thrived long-term and who burned out — and it was almost never about talent.

It was about systems. The people who sustained exceptional careers had learned — sometimes by accident, sometimes by design — how to protect their energy while still competing at the highest level. Most people hadn't learned that. I watched them pay the price.

 

I built Thrive Coaching Services to change that equation. To give executives the specific tools, strategies, and support to build careers that don't require destroying everything else in the process.
