Connection Is the Strategic Advantage
Most leaders aren't undone by strategy. They're undone when connection thins - to themselves, their teams, and the system they're steering.
I work with founders, CEOs, and family enterprise leaders at critical inflection points - when the organisation needs alignment, when trust must be rebuilt, and when communication has to shift to match the scale of what you're building.
This is leadership advisory grounded in relational intelligence. Connection that creates clarity, trust, and momentum. Begin The Conversation >

“Carissa is world class. She redefines the word 'Masterclass'.“

Who I Work With

Founders and CEOs

I work with CEOs, senior leadership teams, family businesses, social VCs, professional coaches, and organisations committed to growing trust, adaptability, and impact.

Family Enterprises

Succession is never just about the business. It's about identity, belonging, and what gets carried forward. I work with families navigating the complexity of leading across generations, honouring what was built while making room for what wants to emerge.

Their Teams and Ecosystems

When I work with a founder or family principal, I often work with the people around them too. Leadership teams, boards, key stakeholders. Because the system has to shift together, not just the person at the centre.

"Carissa works with the whole company from executive coaching to supporting a new mentoring culture.

Together with her, we have unlocked incredible value and energy."

Hans Peter Granicher, CEO and Co-Founder, D One

How We Work Together

The form shifts — advisory partnerships, team engagements, immersive intensives, speaking — but something remains constant.

We slow down enough to hear what hasn't been said. We find language for what's been unnamed. We rebuild the relational ground that makes everything else possible.

What Happens When We Work Together?

Trust builds, and teams find alignment more easily.
Decision-making becomes steadier, even in uncertain times.
People become more resilient and support each other through challenges.
Leaders influence through genuine presence and integrity.
Communication improves, turning conflict into progress

Services

Leadership Coaching & Advisory

A sustained partnership for founders, CEOs, and family enterprise principals navigating complexity. We work at the level of identity, ecosystem, and long-term capacity — not just immediate challenges.

Explore advisory
Team Engagements

When founding teams need realignment. When leadership teams are stuck in patterns that no longer serve. When the unspoken has become louder than the spoken. Deep, honest work that helps the system around you move again.

Intensives & Workshops

Immersive experiences for leaders ready to go beneath the surface — open-enrolment intensives, in-house workshops, and one annual retreat for those seeking something deeper. Small groups. Real work. No performance.

Explore intensives
Speaking & Keynotes

For conferences, leadership gatherings, and organisations where something needs to shift. Talks that widen the frame, shift perspective, and help leaders see connection as the strategic advantage that enables them to navigate complexity, build trust, and lead at scale without losing their centre.
