RIZE Executive Coaching

Some work needs more than a quick answer.

When your decisions carry weight across a team or organization, you need room to think honestly and prepare what comes next. RIZE Executive Coaching gives you six months of private work with Claire, built around your role and live agenda.

“I’m carrying the dual seat, and there’s nowhere left to think.”

That’s often where a senior woman is when she books a 20-Minute Capacity Call with Claire.

RIZE with Claire O'Connor

Employer-sponsored support

Your employer may be able to fund Executive Coaching.

When the company funds it, you usually don’t need another week to think. You need a short proposal for HR or your leader. Talk with Claire → 20-Minute Capacity Call → we’ll write that proposal together.

Sponsor involvement

When an employer funds the work, sponsor involvement may include a three-way alignment conversation at the outset, one midpoint review and a close-out covering agreed goals, themes and next steps.

Private conversations

Private session content is never shared with the sponsor. Anything beyond the agreed goals, themes and next steps is shared by the leader, or with the leader’s explicit agreement. Legal, safety and professional-ethics exceptions are set out in the engagement terms.
