Coaching for women in corporate who want to enjoy their life again, not just get through it.
Somewhere along the way, life started feeling harder than it should. You are still delivering. Still showing up. Still the one people rely on. But internally, you're running on empty and it can often feel like you are stuck.
When life starts to feel like a strain there's a reason, that is often less obvious. But once you can see what’s really going on, you can start to make change.
The things that got you, here may also be part of what’s keeping you stuck.
You didn’t build a successful career by accident. To do so you would be extremely responsible and disciplined. You likely hold yourself to high standards, think ahead, solve problems and get things done. And when the going gets tough, you push through.
For a long time, those qualities worked incredibly well for you.
But when you’ve operated that way for years, particularly in a demanding role alongside everything else life requires of you, some of those same ways of operating can start to work against you.
This can look like thinking about work long after the working day has finished. Taking responsibility for things that aren't really your responsibility. Finding it hard to switch off when there is still something that could be done. And simply pushing through when what you actually need to do is stop.
The answer isn't to become less ambitious or care less about your career.
It's understanding what is no longer working for you, so you can change it without dismantling everything you've worked so hard to build.
Imagine if life still looked full, but didn't feel so hard.
You could read an email without thinking about it for the next three hours.
Finish work and actually finish work.
Sit with your partner or your kids and be there, rather than mentally running through everything you haven't done.
Make a decision without needing to revisit it five times.
Have enough energy left at the end of the day to do something because you want to, not because you should.
And look at what's ahead and feel excited about it again.
Your life doesn't necessarily need to become smaller for it to feel significantly better.
What’s really going on isn’t always obvious.
When life starts feeling like a strain, it’s natural to look at what’s happening around you and try to fix that.
Get more organised. Manage your time better. Set better boundaries. Exercise more. Get more sleep. Find a less demanding job.
And sometimes those things genuinely do need to change.
But often, they’re not the whole story.
Because how you respond to pressure, the expectations you place on yourself, what you take responsibility for, the way you think about what’s happening and how much space you leave for yourself are also shaping how your life feels.
And many of those ways of operating have become so automatic, you probably don’t even realise you’re doing them.
That’s why you can be incredibly capable and self-aware, know what you should be doing differently, and still find yourself back in the same place.
You can’t change what you can’t see.
And that’s where our work starts.
How I help you change it
The Reset Method™ is my private 90-day coaching program for women in corporate.
We work together to understand what's actually keeping you stuck, change the patterns that are no longer working for you, and make practical changes to how you're operating day to day.
Importantly this isn't about lowering your standards, becoming less ambitious or adding another list of things you “should” be doing.
It's about creating a way of working and living that allows you to keep the ambition, without it costing you your enjoyment of the rest of your life.
"I had tried so many things to help me feel better. It wasn't till working with Claire that I was able to finally enjoy my life. I started enjoying my work again, my relationships improved. I had more energy and was so much more present. I never realised what was getting in my way."
— Kate M, GM Merchandise and Space
Hi, I’m Claire,
I spent more than 20 years in corporate leadership, including running businesses of more than $800M with full P&L responsibility.
So when I talk about pressure, responsibility and the reality of operating at a senior level, I haven’t observed it from the outside. I’ve lived it.
I also know what it’s like when life outside work becomes difficult while the expectations at work don’t disappear.
The tools I now use with my clients are the same ones I’ve relied on through senior leadership, single motherhood and some of the most challenging periods of my own life.
That’s why my approach is grounded in understanding what’s actually getting in your way, while working within the reality of the life you’re living.

What my clients say
-
My experience with Claire was also my first with a professional coach. Like many other working mums juggling a hectic life and feelings of overwhelm, I signed up to do something for myself, to actively seek more joy in my life rather than just ‘getting by.’ It’s been a very positive experience for me. Claire’s approach is practical and actionable, she has a beautiful energy and I’ve gained more than I ever anticipated. I would highly recommend Claire’s coaching program.

Claire has a great no nonsense way about her. Her background in corporate was so valuable, as felt she properly understood what it is like working in corporate. She is the perfect combination of an experienced business coach who also understands the reasons why we do what we do and how to reveal how these things hold us back. I am so glad I took this first step, as it fast tracked my results.
Jane A, Head of Finance

I can’t recommend Claire enough! Working with her has genuinely been one of the most valuable experiences for my personal growth. She’s helped me develop so many important skills, shift my mindset, and build a level of confidence in myself that I didn’t have before. What really stands out is how much Claire really cares. She consistently checks in, offers support beyond just our sessions, and creates a really safe space. Claire has been the best mentor and I couldn’t recommend her more highly!!

You don’t need to have everything figured out before you book a consultation. In fact, most women I work with know something needs to change, but they’re not entirely sure what that change is yet.
You might feel stuck, overwhelmed, more reactive than usual, or simply know that the way you’ve been operating isn’t working for you anymore.
The consultation is a chance for us to talk through what’s going on, what you want to be different and whether I’m the right person to help you. If I don’t think I am, I’ll tell you.

The Reset Method™ is a private 90-day coaching program. We meet weekly for a 60-minute one-to-one session, with practical work between sessions and WhatsApp support when you need it.
We start by getting really clear on what’s happening for you, what you want to change and what may be getting in the way. From there, our sessions are tailored to you and what is actually happening in your work and life.
This isn’t a course where I take everyone through the same set of modules. We work on your real life, in real time and the coaching is customised around you.

Most of the women I work with are already very self-aware. They’ve read the books, listened to the podcasts and often know what they should be doing differently.
The problem usually isn’t a lack of knowledge.
My work is about helping you see what you may not be able to see on your own, the patterns, assumptions and ways of operating that have become so automatic they simply feel normal, and then helping you actually change them.
And because I spent more than 20 years in corporate leadership myself, we do that within the reality of a demanding career and a full life, rather than pretending you can simply remove all the pressure.
The goal of this program is to support you moving forward.
-
Yes. The Reset Method™ was specifically designed for women with demanding careers and full lives.
We meet for 60 minutes each week, and while there will often be things for you to think about, notice or practise between sessions, I’m not going to give you hours of homework or another long list of things to get done.
The work needs to fit into your life, not become another thing adding to the pressure. The work we do increases your capacity.
-
That depends on what you want to change, which is something we get very clear on at the beginning.
For some women, it’s being able to switch off from work and be more present at home. For others, it’s feeling less overwhelmed or reactive, having more energy, trusting their decisions, setting boundaries without the guilt, or finally making a decision they’ve been going backwards and forwards on for months.
The common thread is feeling more in control of themselves and their life, rather than constantly reacting to everything happening around them.
The goal isn’t to create a life with no pressure. It’s to help you respond to the life you already have very differently.
-
The Reset Method™ is $3,500 AUD including GST for 90 days of private one-to-one coaching.
That includes weekly 60-minute coaching sessions, practical tools and work tailored to what we’re focusing on, and WhatsApp support between sessions.
Payment plans are also available.
If you’re not sure whether the program is right for you, you can book a free private consultation first. We’ll talk about what’s happening, what you want to change and whether I think I can help.
