GRACEWorks Coaching

TL;DR: Transform your experience of relentless high pressure at work to reclaim your clarity, calm and conviction without sacrificing what matters to you most.

Welcome and thank you for your interest in GraceWorks.

Rather than write a fancy landing page, I’ve put everything you need to know in this simple, no-fluff document.

The outcome of GraceWorks is straightforward:

It empowers high-achieving professionals to stop over-functioning and start leading with clarity, calm, and conviction so they can sustain their success without sacrificing their wellbeing or what matters most.

I created GRACEWORKS after 20+ years of working with brilliant, successful leaders in tech and consulting who feel stuck, overwhelmed, and emotionally drained, despite having worked extremely hard and achieved all the markers of outward success.

You know something needs to change, but you’re not sure what that change looks like or how to find the energy and time in your overcrowded schedule to make it happen.

We address three core challenges that keep talented professionals like you from finding real fulfilment in their work.

CHALLENGE 1:

I feel mentally, emotionally, and physically exhausted, but stepping back feels like risking everything I’ve worked so hard to build.

Even though you’re getting everything done on your to-do list, you’re running on empty. You seem to be coping, but inside, you’re feeling frayed. You can’t remember the last time you felt clear-headed or calm. You keep showing up, but it’s getting harder to pretend that you’re ‘firing on all cylinders’.

You’re expected to be even faster, more thorough, more perfect, with less time, less margin, and no acknowledgement of the human cost. You’re increasingly aware that you’re missing out on life's special moments with family and friends - birthdays, bedtime stories, breakfast, school runs, togetherness, days out - but the thought of easing off, taking a break, or quitting feels like admitting ‘I’ve failed’ as a leader.

SOLUTION:

RESET: From feeling exhausted to clear, calm and grounded

Discover: Who am I now?
Create a 1:1 Leadership Circle Profile™ to uncover how you’re currently showing up under pressure and what drives your behaviour. This provides you with a data-backed, compassionate view of how your leadership has evolved, as well as a sense of where you feel you now want to grow.
Recover: How do I restore energy and clarity?
Learn evidence-based body-based practices to support regulating your nervous system and experiencing a mental reset. Learn to apply the science of resilience so you can manage your internal state, especially during high-stakes or emotionally charged situations.
Realign: What matters most to me now?
Through undertaking a values inventory and guided reflection, reconnect with what truly matters to you now, not what others expect and not what mattered 5 years ago. You’ll define your top priorities, clarify your non-negotiables, and establish new boundaries that support your well-being and ability to perform effectively.

RESULT: You stop reacting to stress and start responding with clarity and composure, even under pressure. You’re able to pause, reset, and choose how to lead rather than be driven by circumstances and/or emotion.

CHALLENGE 2:

I’m no longer doing a good enough job of controlling my thoughts and behaviour, and I’m not showing up with the composure and clarity my role demands

Outwardly, you’re performing, but inwardly, you’re stretched thin. You’re noticing patterns: a shorter fuse, tension in key professional and personal relationships, and less time spent with loved ones.

You feel like you’re beating yourself up almost every day. You keep telling yourself, “I should be able to handle this. Others seem to be doing fine”, but inside, you feel like you’re falling apart. You feel increasingly incapable and often doubt that you're performing well enough or adding enough value.

And yet, the idea of pausing or stepping back feels almost disloyal to the identity you’ve built: the leader who consistently delivers, always copes, always leads from the front.

SOLUTION:

REGULATE: From Reactivity to Presence

Understand: What’s driving my reactions?
You’ll learn the GRACE Framework® — a practical, embodied methodology for shifting from stress-fuelled reactivity to responsive leadership. We break down how everyday habits of over-functioning, people-pleasing, or self-censoring show up and how to begin shifting them.
Apply: How do I lead with renewed presence and power?
We translate theory into daily practice by teaching micro-skills including breath-centred pauses, centring techniques, embodied language choices, and reflective journaling.

You’ll learn how to hold steady in the storm and lead from your calm centre instead of reacting from survival instincts, even when others around you aren’t.

RESULT: You feel more in control of your energy, boundaries, and decision-making, which deepens and strengthens trust with your colleagues, teams, and clients because you show up consistently and coherently to lead and deliver with ease when others don’t.

CHALLENGE 3:

The culture is grinding you down, and you can’t unplug from it long enough to recover

You’ve earned your reputation by performing, navigating politics, and always being “on”. But the cost is high.

The culture is performative. Psychological safety is minimal. You’re drowning in WhatsApp messages, emails, decks, calls, expectations—and even when you’re off, you’re not really off.

You’re answering emails on Sunday mornings and checking your phone on holiday. You’re always plugged in. There’s no time to reconnect with who you are outside the job.

This means you’re not only feeling worn down by the culture, but you’re also never able to get off the treadmill long enough to recover from it.

And now? You know something has to change. You just don’t know where to begin.

SOLUTION:

REIMAGINE: From Feeling Unfulfilled to Purposeful

Imagine: Who am I becoming?
We use narrative coaching and visioning exercises to help you articulate a future that feels energising, aligned, and grounded in your values, not other people's expectations, so you can channel your drive into work that energises you, not just what earns you approval.

Inspire: How Do I Move Forward?
Together, we map out the path forward. This includes identifying experiments, designing safe-to-try actions, and spotting saboteur voices or inner critics that might derail progress.

You'll leave with a clear plan that strikes a balance between boldness and realism, enabling you to lead with greater clarity and conviction in uncertain or high-stakes environments.

Integrate: How do I stay on track?
You'll build rituals for reflection and alignment, connect with an accountability peer from the group, and access tools to sustain momentum. This isn't about pushing harder; it's about returning to the centre more often, so you can course-correct quickly when life pulls you off track, with self-trust, not self-judgment.

RESULT: You move from juggling knives to conducting the orchestra. Things are still complex and demanding, but now you're centred, in your rhythm, and in control.
