Reinvent your career,
Lead with impact

Career Coaching for emerging leaders, ambitious professionals and teams ready to be seen, heard, and transform their teams.

Top Challenges emerging leaders face

For emerging leaders, career growth once symbolised innovation, purpose, and limitless possibility. Today, however, many find themselves navigating the weight of a modern malaise — rising stress, constant change, and a crisis of professional well-being. These challenges not only erode individual confidence and fulfilment, but also make it harder for companies to build loyal, human-centred cultures.

Burnout

Burnout is a state of emotional, physical and mental exhaustion, caused by "always-on" cultures.

Lack of career progression

When technical skills stop opening doors, the leap into leadership can feel like hitting a wall.

Stress & Anxiety

Fast-paced environments and pressure to always get it right open up a breeding ground for overwhelm.

Work-life integration

Checking work after hours sabotages the goal to achieve professional ambition with personal well-being.

Job security

Constant layoffs, new tech and shifting priorities keep you second-guessing instead of stepping into your full leadership potential.

Step into the next phase of your career with clarity

With coaching you can become the boldest, most authentic version of yourself, so that you take steps toward a career that fits you and fuels you. As an ICF ACC-accredited coach with 22 years of experience in senior leadership positions, I’m ready to work with you on a plan to get you unstuck. You get a coach and a partner who challenges you, champions you, is your biggest cheerleader, and keeps you moving forward.

Happy Clients with transformed careers

"After a few months of coaching with Marelise, I feel like a new person. I have started making more time for things that make me happy. I no longer feel like the passenger in my life, but have more agency, direction and confidence! I always looked forward to our sessions and felt incredibly supported and championed in the attainment of my goals.

She has been a vital resource to me."

Coaching solves more than career crises

Build unshakable confidence in your leadership

Confidence doesn’t come from a job title. It’s built through clarity, practice, and support. Silence the inner critic, and step into your authentic leadership style. Speak up with authority, make decisions with courage, and earn the respect you deserve. With the right coaching partnership, confidence becomes the foundation you lead from.

As a certified ADHD and NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) for business leaders, let me help you identify what’s really draining you, and what’s ready to rise within you.

Reclaim your time, own your dream career

How did you or your team go from hero to burnout, losing your spark and potential along the way? Reignite passion projects, take back your time and step up into your future. As a senior global leader with 25 years’ experience in technology, I’ve been worked with big brands and in ego-driven boardrooms.

Leading high-performing teams and big ideas for over 20 years, I’ve lived the high stakes, the late nights, the big wins and the gut-wrenching moments when everything changes and falls apart.

Let’s connect the dots for your career while you reclaim your personal connections.

Dedicated culture workshops

"Marelise and I connected immediately, from the first session. She helped in refining my goals for the series of sessions, and after every session I felt energised and excited. She adapted her communication style to mine, and she started me on a journey I felt I could further by myself."
