I didn't learn this work in a course. I learnt it in the middle of the hardest period of my life, and proved it works there.
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 like life has become a strain. At work, in their relationships, with their health. Often all three at once.
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.
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.
That was my life for over two decades.
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 came with a cost that went well beyond work.
What Most People Don’t See
While on the outside all looked good. What it actually felt like was that work had stopped being something I enjoyed and become something I got through. I was physically present with the people who mattered most to me, but rarely really there. And my health, and anything that was just for me, had fallen completely off the list.
I was capable and I was delivering. But I was running on pressure, responsibility and a constant low hum of not doing enough.
And for a long time, I thought that was just part of the job, this was normal adult life, but I was wrong.
What I Realised
For years, I tried to manage the pressure externally.
Be more organised, work harder, stay on top of everything.
The turning point didn’t come when things calmed down. It came when I found the tools to understand what was actually happening inside me.
For the first time, I could see how much of the pressure I was experiencing wasn't only coming from what was happening around me. It was also coming from the expectations I placed on myself, what I was making things mean and the way I had learnt to respond.
And once I could see that, I had something I could actually change.
I didn't leave my career, or reduce responsibility.
But work started feeling meaningful again, not just something to get through. I stopped carrying it home in my head every evening.
I became genuinely present with the people I loved. Not the distracted, half-there version who was always mentally back at her desk, but actually there.
My health stopped being the thing that got whatever was left at the end of the day.
There started to be something left.
Externally, not much changed, but internally, everything did.
What Changed
Experience That Shaped My Work
What most people don't know is that I didn't discover this work after my career had settled.
I discovered it in the middle of my marriage ending, when I was pregnant with my first child.
I became a single mother before my baby was born. And I was still showing up to a senior corporate role.
Coaching wasn't something I came to from a place of comfort or curiosity. It was a lifeline. The tools I found gave me a way to understand what was happening internally, to regulate under pressure I could barely articulate, and to make clear decisions when everything around me was uncertain.
I then built my career on those foundations. As a single mother, in senior leadership, running large commercial businesses.
And when I was diagnosed with cancer, those same tools held.
I'm sharing this with you not for sympathy, but because my own experience has shaped the way I work with women today. I know what it feels like to keep functioning, leading and taking care of what needs to be done while privately carrying far more than most people can see. I understand that experience not just because I've studied it, but because I've lived it.
The Work I Do Now
This is now the work I do with my clients.
I help women in corporate who are still performing, still delivering, still showing up, but whose life across work, relationships and health has started to feel like a strain rather than something they enjoy.
The goal is bigger than better performance. It’s to have a life that actually feels good to live.
Through The Reset Method™, we work together to understand what's getting in the way and change it, within the reality of the career and life you're actually living.
You can stop feeling so stuck and start trusting yourself to make decisions again. You can have more energy and capacity for your life outside work, without your job taking up so much mental and emotional space. You can feel more present in your relationships, clearer about what you actually want, and more in control of the overthinking, guilt and second-guessing that can make even simple things feel harder than they need to.
And you don't need to become less ambitious to get there.
What I Believe
You don't need to leave your career, or lower your ambition, to start enjoying your life again.
You don't need to wait until things get worse before you decide to change how you're operating.
And you don't need more discipline, more systems, or more pushing through. You need to understand what's actually getting in your way.
Work that feels meaningful. Relationships you're actually present in. Health that isn't perpetually bottom of the list.
That is what's possible. And it doesn't require dismantling everything you've built.
High performance and wellbeing are not opposites.
When the foundations are right, they strengthen each other.
If This Sounds Like You
If you've reached the point where you're tired of feeling stuck, depleted or like too much of your life is being taken up by work, overthinking and everything you need to hold together, you don't have to keep pushing through it.
Book a free 40-minute private consultation. We'll talk through where you are now, what you want to feel different, what's getting in the way and whether working together is the right next step.
“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 led 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.”
