Moment #2: Struggling to Balance

Turning high-potential leaders into high-impact Chief Officers.


Client Success Story: Jay

Jay was a high-performing Chief Officer in a multi-billion-pound business - trusted, capable, and delivering strong results. But behind the scenes, he was in personal crisis and quietly beginning to consider stepping out of the business altogether.

Concerned, the CPO brought me in to offer targeted support.

Through structured coaching grounded in Self-Realized Leadership, Jay stabilised quickly. He reframed his relationship with work, rebuilt clarity around what mattered most, and reconnected with a deeper sense of purpose in the role.

The timing proved critical.

During this period, the business entered a major transaction and Jay became a lynchpin in ensuring its success. His ability to show up with renewed focus and energy created billions in value that may otherwise have been at risk.

Following Jay’s coaching engagement, Jay’s CPO observed: “His presence, clarity and influence during a pivotal transaction has been instrumental in moving our businesses successfully into the next chapter of our growth journey. More than that, it’s just good to see him enjoying being the brilliant leader that he is.”

 

Your Chiefs Who Are Struggling to Balance

From time to time, Chief Officers struggle to balance. Sometimes it’s a newly appointed Chief, overwhelmed and unable to find their feet. Other times it’s a long-trusted operator going through a personal or professional crisis, barely holding things together whilst tasked with huge responsibility.

Whether it's early-role turbulence or a more personal turning point, the challenge is the same: the Chief must stabilise quickly, regain confidence and re-engage with clarity and purpose. They are your critical players and when they’re unbalanced the risk is real - for them, their teams, and the business. Without the right support, these moments can spiral.

The good news is, with the right support, the crisis can actually be a positive inflection point for growth, newfound resilience and renewed impact.

Which is where I come in, working with CPOs to support Chiefs at exactly these moments – bringing steady, discreet, high-trust coaching that restores stability, purpose and momentum, while protecting reputation and business continuity.

 

Whether your Chief is feeling challenged or in crisis, don’t wait.
