 What Brings Most Leaders Here

You Do Not Need
More Advice.
You Need a Different Conversation.

Most of the leaders who work with Sophie are performing well by every external measure. They are not in crisis. They are not failing. But something is not landing the way they want it to, and they know it.
You lead well in the room but privately wrestle with self-doubt that does not match your track record
Your team is struggling and you are not sure if the problem is them, you, or the dynamic between you
You are reactive when you need to be strategic, pulled in too many directions to think clearly about what actually matters
You have tried coaching or leadership development before and it felt surface-level, more affirming than challenging
You are navigating complexity at the top with no safe space to think it through without consequence

This work is for leaders who are done with the surface level and ready to go deeper.

The Tools Behind the Work

Assessment-Informed Coaching that Deepens the Conversation

Assessments, psychometric tools and 360-feedback are often added to our development work. They enrich the conversation, deepen self-awareness and can provide a new framework to accelerate growth.

Leadership Circle Profile 360

A comprehensive 360-degree feedback assessment that maps leadership effectiveness against a research-based framework. Sophie has completed 240+ LCP debriefs with leaders across industries.

Everything DiSC and DiSC Catalyst

A behavioural assessment that helps leaders understand their own style, improve communication, and navigate team dynamics with more precision.

EQi 2.0 (Emotional Intelligence Assessment)

A validated measure of emotional intelligence across five composite areas, used to identify where EQ is limiting leadership effectiveness and where development will have the most impact.

These tools are not add-ons. They are the foundation of a coaching engagement that produces measurable, lasting change.

The Process

What a Coaching Engagement Actually Looks Like

Executive buyers deserve to know what they are committing to before they commit. Here is how Sophie works.

Discovery Call

A 30-minute conversation to explore what you are working on, assess fit, and answer your questions. No pressure, no pitch.

Assessment and Scoping

Depending on your goals, Sophie will recommend one or more psychometric assessments and design an engagement scope tailored to your situation.

Coaching Engagement

Regular one-on-one sessions built around your leadership challenges, with structured reflection, direct feedback, and actionable development between sessions.

Ongoing Development

Coaching relationships evolve. Many clients continue working with Sophie beyond an initial engagement as new challenges emerge and growth deepens.

Organizational engagements vary in scope and format. If you are not sure which program fits your situation, the discovery call is the right place to start.

      Sophie is different. She doesn’t rely on a standardized coaching formula; she instantly customizes the engagement to your unique needs and exact corporate reality. In a highly challenging business environment, she helped me completely reframe my thinking—shifting from the exhaustion of chasing uncontrollable corporate milestones to executing meaningful, high-impact shorter-term wins. The mindset shift was profound. I went from being head-down and disengaged to fully re-energized, finding deep fulfillment in my work and my team again. If you want a coach who transcends standard leadership guidance and delivers lasting, personal transformation, work with Sophie.

Executive Director, Legacy & Strategy
     Sophie is an exceptional coach and thought partner. Her greatest strength is cutting through noise and complexity to bring clarity to overwhelming situations. She keeps you grounded, challenges assumptions, and helps you focus on what matters most to lead more effectively. Striking the perfect balance between support and accountability, Sophie asks the incisive questions that drive real progress rather than just offering advice. If you want to challenge your thinking, strengthen your leadership, and navigate complex issues with confidence, I highly recommend working with her.
Jennifer Leaman
VP People & Culture, Leavitt Industrial Group
     As an executive coach myself, I came to Sophie to complete my ICF mentor coaching hours - and left with so much more. In the middle of a demanding season across multiple roles, she created the kind of space where I could really reflect on my best path forward. She has a gift for asking the one question that cuts straight through the noise, and more than once I walked out of a session seeing a leadership challenge completely differently than when I walked in. Through her mentorship, I learned how to be a better coach for my clients and the ripple effect of her support has been significant. If you're considering working with Sophie, don't hesitate.

The First Step Is a Conversation.

A discovery call is 30 minutes. It is not a sales call. It is a real conversation about what you are navigating, whether there is a fit, and what working together could look like. Sophie works with a small number of clients at a time, so availability is limited.
