Executive Coaching for Men
I offer three types of coaching for men, trans men or non binary people. They are Executive Coaching for leaders and entrepreneurs, Relationship Coaching and Life Transitions Coaching. Each coaching program is individually tailored to the person I am working with. Sometimes we cross all three domains.
My unique coaching methodology combines traditional coaching and somatic coaching, cutting edge neuroscience, relationship coaching and modern adult development, so that you have a completely embodied experience of your coaching and transformation. We work at the level of the unconscious and the nervous system, to create new ways of being and interacting. This is top down and bottom up change in us. This is sustainable change. You will learn many strategies to self-regulate your emotional self and embrace your emotions with curiosity and open arms. Most people who work with me, tell me they experience the feeling of more spaciousness, clarity, resilience and calm inside of themselves. They feel more empowered in themselves and become more discerning in all the choices they make in all aspects of their lives.
If you find, when you read the information below, that there are aspects of both coaching offerings that are relevant to you, we can focus on that. Coaching is unique and the program is tailored to you. Review the information below – we can focus on any aspects you find relevant to you. Your home self and work self are interconnected and affect each other, so when we focus on one area, it will help many other aspects of your life.
Executive Coaching for Leaders and Entrepreneurs
I am an accomplished executive coach with over 2000+ hours coaching experience and have worked in executive development for twenty years. Much of my coaching work with leaders and entrepreneurs has been about growing their emotional mastery and relationship skills, as well as growing the complexity of their decision making and their ethical reasoning, so that they may lead more effectively in the complex times we face now.
I have coached and consulted across a broad range of industries in private and public sectors and have personally worked in a wide range of organisational sectors in both starts-ups, small, medium and global businesses.
Having worked with many leaders in the midlife stage of their life, what I often find in them is a deep longing from them to be able to ‘just be themselves’. Their most authentic self. This goal is often hard to achieve in organisations where we have put on a mask version of ourselves to survive, and keep safe in the culture, or we narrow down the version of ourselves to fit in. You can only maintain this strategy for so long before your body tells you it can’t keep the lid on it any longer. This suppression often shows up in the form of extreme discomfort, fractured relationships, health issues or just generally being really unhappy or dissatisfied in life. We long for something more, but often we don’t know what that more is. Many people describe it as a longing for a sense of freedom, and, this often freedom to be able to be themselves.
It is really important to work through all of this at the level of the nervous system because this is where out trauma is stored, (whether it is Big T trauma or little t trauma) and our childhood habits we created to survive. It is at the level of our unconscious in our psyche. All of this is all stored in the body in fascia muscles and viscera and we access it through body-mind practices and sensory experiences.
”I was at the stage of my career that I had undertaken further educational qualifications and I had the required experience, but I was looking for someone to really tap into areas that I was not able to work through myself, but I knew were stopping me from being a better business leader and person.
Kellie was able to navigate me through these areas of my life that were impacting my way of working. She is professional, experienced, compassionate, and caring. Kellie was able to create a really safe environment where I could explore these deep-seated past experiences and develop strategies to grow.
I now feel that I have a much better understanding of how my past experiences impact my current abilities, and I have really defined strategies and skills to address these.
Thank you, Kellie, you really have changed my life.”
You cannot avoid this unconscious work, because at the end of the day, it is most often these parts of you that are making decisions in your life, not the rational part of your brain. When we avoid working through these areas, we project our discomfort, emotional repression and general dissatisfaction with life outwardly and develop strategies for self-soothing that actually do not help: numbing ourselves with alcohol, overeating or drugs, conspicuous consumption and extraction. It has a negative impact on ourselves and our environment.
My coaching packages run for six months with fortnightly sessions. I will provide 12 x 90 minute sessions over that period, as well providing home practices that I give you to build the somatic skills. You will have access to video content of mine on special topical issues, to enhance your understanding of our work, and this is all available to you in my online learning platform.
Book a complimentary clarity call to see if we are a match to work together.

I am happy to work with your for your workplace budget restrictions to create a program for you.
“Kellie is a well rounded coach, with a vast wealth of life and professional experiences that she draws on during her coaching sessions. Her ability to connect with me during our sessions made her invaluable in taking me on the journey of personal and professional transformation I had chosen.
A safe environment of understanding and acceptance is what she created during our time together. This helped her explore the root causes of my constraints and she assisted me in unraveling them and more importantly dealing with them.
I feel lucky to have been coached by Kellie as she has assisted in my professional and personal development, a gift that will last for the rest of my life. For that I will always be grateful. Thank you Kellie.”
“Working with Kellie was challenging, rewarding and for me transformational. I feel more equipped now to tackle life's challenges.
I originally practiced the strategies we developed everyday, now I don't need to as they have just become part of how I interpret, interact and reflect on the relationships and world around me.
There are very few experiences that change how we see the world, and ourselves in it, Kellie was able to provide me with skills to develop my reflective practice without living in the past, forethought without constantly chasing the future and the mindfulness to live in the now.”
