For Executive Leaders

Performance psychology to become a more influential, impactful and intentional leader.

True leadership transcends technical expertise and strategic thinking. It requires mastering the inner game—understanding your psychological patterns, emotional triggers, and hidden beliefs that either propel you forward or hold you back from your fullest potential.

As a performance psychologist with over twenty years of experience coaching executives globally, I help leaders develop the psychological agility, emotional intelligence, and inner clarity needed to lead with purpose while driving exceptional results.

How my work can help you

Here are just a few examples of how I’ve worked with executive leaders to help them navigate growth, transitions, and client relationships.

  • Coached a senior executive who was technically brilliant but struggling to gain respect and influence with the C-suite. Through deep work on executive presence and political acumen, he learned to navigate complex organizational dynamics with greater confidence.

  • Worked with a high-performing leader who felt burned out and disconnected from her sense of purpose despite career success. I helped her rediscover meaning in her work while developing strategies to manage stress and expectations.

  • Supported a newly promoted VP stepping into his first enterprise leadership role and needed to quickly develop the strategic thinking and relationship-building skills required to succeed at this new level while maintaining his authenticity.

  • Partnered with a leadership team at a fast-growing company experiencing growing pains and communication breakdowns. We addressed the underlying relationship dynamics and decision-making processes that were creating bottlenecks, helping them develop more effective collaboration and accountability structures.

For senior executives ready to elevate their impact

I work with accomplished leaders who are reflective and are at an inflection point—those who sense there's "more" to them than how they're currently operating and want to unlock their next level of leadership effectiveness.

Our work together creates lasting change by addressing both the practical leadership challenges you face and the inner obstacles that may be limiting your effectiveness.

For high-performing teams seeking breakthrough results

I serve as a trusted advisor to senior leadership teams, helping them move beyond surface-level team building to address the deeper relationship dynamics that either accelerate or undermine their collective performance.

Our focus goes beneath the surface to address the relationship dynamics and behavioral patterns that determine whether teams merely function or truly excel.

  • Team Dynamics Assessment - Identify the underlying patterns, unspoken tensions, and invisible barriers that prevent your team from operating at full potential

  • Psychological Safety Development - Create an environment where team members can engage in productive conflict, share difficult truths, and take calculated risks

  • Decision-Making Excellence - Implement frameworks that help your team make better decisions faster while avoiding common cognitive traps

  • Collective Leadership Alignment - Ensure your team has clarity on priorities, roles, and accountability structures that drive results

  • Change Leadership Capability - Build your team's capacity to lead organizational transformation while maintaining performance standards

“Kathleen did an exceptional job meeting me where I was at, both personally and professionally. During our time together, I laughed, cried, and came away with numerous insights on how to be a more effective leader. I always looked forward to our coaching sessions and hope to partner with Kathleen in the future.”
