Work with me

Every leadership transition is different.

Some managers need clarity about what is holding them back.

Others are preparing for an upcoming promotion.

Some are looking for a trusted partner to support a broader leadership transition.

The Executive Readiness Framework™ is available in three formats depending on where you are today.

Executive Readiness Diagnostic

Understand where you are today

Executive Readiness Intensive

Prepare for your next leadership opportunity

Executive Readiness Transformation

Grow into the leader your next role requires

The Executive Readiness Framework™

 Four dimensions of preparing for senior leadership

The transition to senior leadership requires a shift in how you see yourself as a leader, how you approach your role, and how you create influence across the organisation.

The Executive Readiness Framework™ brings together four interconnected dimensions that help experienced managers:

understand where they are today,

identify what needs to evolve,

and prepare to lead at the next level.

Leadership Identity – understanding the beliefs, strengths and patterns that shape how you lead
Leadership Transition – developing the mindset and behaviours required for senior leadership
Leadership Presence and Impact – building executive presence and strategic influence
Leadership Advancement – demonstrating executive readiness, the capacity to succeed in a senior leadership role

These four dimensions give us a shared starting point for our work together, helping to identify the shifts that will make the greatest difference as you prepare for senior leadership.

Depending on your goals and where you are in your leadership journey, we can focus on a specific development priority or work across all four dimensions as part of a broader transition programme.

“Miriam had a significant impact on the progression of my career and […] helped me to identify what my next steps could look like reflecting on my strength, weaknesses and personal interests by asking probing questions. Before the interview process which I completed successfully we had a few sessions preparing me especially for the non-technical management and leadership aspects of the role, which become more important with increasing seniority. […] I am deeply indebted to her outstanding service.”

Before our session, complete the free Executive Readiness Self-Assessment (download form available here). We’ll use your results as the starting point for a focused conversation about your current challenges, leadership readiness and the development priorities that will have the greatest impact on your next career move.

The Discovery Call (30-45 minutes) is an opportunity for us to discuss your current situation, leadership goals and the challenges you’re facing. You’ll also learn more about the Executive Readiness Framework™ and we’ll decide together whether we’re the right fit to work together.

Yes. All sessions take place online, giving you the flexibility to fit coaching around your work and personal commitments.

For the Executive Readiness Intensive and Transformation programmes, we’ll agree a schedule that works for your goals and availability.

I’m based in the Central European Time (CET) zone and regularly work with international clients. Where possible, I also accommodate US and Asian time zones.

No. Many clients start working with me well before they’re actively applying for senior leadership roles. Building executive readiness is most effective before the opportunity arises.

If you already have a promotion process or executive interview ahead of you, the Executive Readiness Intensive provides focused support to help you prepare strategically and present yourself as the strongest candidate.

Yes. Many organisations invest in leadership coaching as part of leadership development, succession planning or promotion into senior roles.

If your employer offers a professional development budget, I’m happy to provide a proposal or any information needed to support your funding request.

No. While coaching can’t guarantee a promotion, it can help you become the strongest candidate for one.

Together, we’ll focus on developing the leadership capabilities, visibility and strategic influence expected of senior leaders, while identifying practical ways to demonstrate them in your current role. The goal is not only to increase your readiness for promotion, but to ensure you’re ready to thrive once you get there.

„Miriam is a wonderful coach who has helped me gain great insight into my potential. She is a great listener, and has brought me to think about angles I wouldn’t have thought about by myself. She is a structured and well organised professional […]. I enjoyed our sessions and I am sure they have helped me to succeed in my continued growth.”
