Leadership Advisory

For CEOs, founders and senior leaders at significant moments of transition.

“Our relationship has unlocked my ability to connect and lead with more compassion, essential for driving transformational change across our organisation.”

— Silviu Popovici,
CEO, PepsiCo EMEA

Navigate complex relationships, critical transitions, and high-level communication challenges.

As a Leadership Advisor and systemic coach, I bring more than 25 years of experience working with C-Suite leaders, partners and senior teams across 150+ organisations worldwide in the public and private sector. My clients share one thing: a purpose-driven vision to leave the world better than they found it. 

Our work might include: navigating the relationship that's grown complicated. Moving through a transition that's changing who you are, not just what you do. Standing at the base of the next mountain, deciding whether, and how, to climb it. Finding your voice and point of view.

We get beneath the noise of modern organisational life. We deepen what is good and vital. We find the next best version of yourself, to bring about change that feels congruent, empowering and actionable.

It should feel like a spacious conversation, one that keeps giving, and meets the moment your business needs now. And the shift in you that makes future success possible.

The work may remain a coaching partnership with you, or extend into strategic realignment and communication for impact with your partners or team.

It all begins with a conversation.

“Carissa is just an outstanding coach and expert in the human condition. Her ability to tap into the key issues and be able to bring them to resolution sets her apart.”
