I didn’t learn this work in a course.
I learnt it running businesses where the pressure was real.
Hi, I’m Claire.
I’m a former corporate executive turned coach for women in corporate who look successful on the outside…
but internally feel stretched, reactive, or like they’re carrying too much.
My Background
Before coaching, I spent over two decades in commercial leadership roles across Australia and New York.
Including leading $800M+ businesses with full P&L responsibility across some of Australia’s largest ASX-listed organisations, spanning retail, professional services, agency and manufacturing.
I was the one accountable. Accountable for performance, for strategy, for leading large teams inside complex, fast-moving environments. And so I understand, first-hand, the reality of operating at that level.
When you can’t just switch off. When the stakes are high and people are relying on you to deliver. Because I operated inside it.
Like many women in these environments, I became known as the person who could handle everything.
The one who took on more.
Kept things moving.
Always delivered.
From the outside, it looked like success. But internally, the fuel source was different:
Drive. Pressure. Fear.
And over time, that approach came with a cost.
What Most People Don’t See
From the outside, it looked like success.
But internally, I was operating on:
constant pressure
a high sense of responsibility
and a feeling that I needed to keep doing more
I was capable. But the way I was operating wasn’t sustainable. And for a long time, I thought that was just part of the job. It wasn’t.
What I Realised
For years, I tried to manage the pressure externally.
Be more organised.
Work harder.
Stay on top of everything.
But the turning point came when I realised:
It wasn’t my workload creating my experience.
It was how I was responding to it.
Once that changed, everything else started to shift.
What Changed
I didn’t leave my career. I didn’t reduce responsibility.
But I stopped:
finishing the day feeling behind
reacting to everything that landed
carrying work in my head all the time
And started:
thinking more clearly
making decisions without second-guessing
switching off at the end of the day
Externally, not much changed. Internally, everything did.
The Work I Do Now
This is now the work I do with my clients.
I help women in corporate change the patterns driving:
mental load
pressure
overthinking
emotional reactivity
So they can continue performing at a high level…
Without feeling like they’re constantly holding everything together.
How I Work
This work happens through my program, The Reset Method.
It’s not about, doing more, trying harder, or adding more strategies.
The Reset Method is a structured process that integrates:
Nervous system regulation
Cognitive recalibration
Practical systems that support sustainable high performance
The result isn’t just feeling better. It’s operating with clarity, steadiness and control in environments that previously felt overwhelming. Changing what’s driving what you’re already doing, in the moments that actually matter.
Experience That Shaped My Work
My approach has been shaped not only by my corporate career, but by navigating significant personal challenges while continuing to lead and work.
These included:
Becoming a single mother
Navigating separation and legal processes
Continuing demanding corporate roles
Being diagnosed and then getting through stage 3 cancer
Those experiences reinforced something I now teach every client:
Resilience isn’t about pushing harder.
It’s about building the internal systems that allow you to stay grounded, clear and capable, even when life becomes difficult.
What I Believe
You don’t need to burn out before you decide to change how you operate.
You don’t need to leave your career, or lower your ambition in order to protect your wellbeing.
And you don’t need to wait for a crisis before you start building the internal systems that support you.
High performance and wellbeing are not opposites.
When the internal foundations are right, they strengthen each other.
If This Sounds Like You
If you feel like you’re carrying too much, reacting more than you’d like, or constantly pushing through on empty…
There is another way to operate. Book a consultation to explore whether this work is the right nextstep for you.
“If you are on the fence, my advice, just do it!
It is not everyday that you find someone with such a rich commercial business background who is also a life coach!
Working with Claire I was able to see what was getting in my way, and she supported me in making changes.
The game changer for me was she not only understood what it is like to work in large corporates, she lead within them. So I felt she really understood my challenges, and could provide guidance other coaches I worked with couldn’t as they had never actually lead in commercial roles .
It is incredible what insight and change I was able to make in just 12 weeks. Best investment yet.”
