My experience is rooted in senior financial leadership within large multinational organisations, where I held responsibility as a Finance Director leading sizeable teams across Europe. My corporate career spanned 25+ years, working for Arthur Andersen, Marks and Spencer, WHSmith and Danone. I have been present in leadership moments that require balancing commercial performance with people impact, navigating complexity across countries and cultures, and designing organisational structures that enable sustainable growth. My background in finance leadership shaped how I understand decision-making, influence, and accountability at senior levels, particularly during periods of change and strategic planning. Across my leadership journey, I have worked closely with leaders as they develop high-performing teams, lead across diverse contexts, and drive profitable outcomes while staying aligned to their values. I have been a full-time executive and leadership coach since 2024. Clients working with me report increased confidence, influence, and impact, alongside greater efficiency and clarity in how they approach both personal and business development.
Professional Background Sean is a Registered Organisational Psychologist and executive coach based in Melbourne, Australia. Over the past decade, he has built a practice focused on helping leaders make meaningful progress on complex, uncertain, and adaptive challenges. Sean's coaching philosophy centres on the idea that leadership progress is achieved through and with people. Most leaders he works with are not short on intelligence, ambition, or technical skill. Instead, they need a coach who can hold up a mirror and challenge their perspective. Sean supports leaders to lead when the path isn't clear, bring people with them through change, manage relational dynamics that shape how things get done, and sustain their own performance without burning out. His coaching helps leaders develop the clarity, relational skill, and practical discipline to act effectively in these conditions. How Sean Works Sean's approach is systemic and relational. He helps leaders see how the formal systems around them — structures, roles, governance, measures — interact with the informal ones — relationships, assumptions, tensions, unspoken rules — to shape performance. This dual lens allows coaching conversations to move beyond surface symptoms to the underlying patterns that keep showing up. In practice, this means Sean's coaching is grounded in real work. Sessions are built around the decisions leaders are actually facing, the relationships they're navigating, and the practices they need to build. He is direct and warm — willing to name what he sees, challenge assumptions, and sit with discomfort. He is equally comfortable working with a CEO preparing for a difficult board conversation, a senior leader navigating a fractured relationship with a co-founder or peer, or a mid-level leader stepping into a role that demands a fundamentally different way of operating. Sean draws on organisational psychology, systems thinking, and relational dynamics in his coaching. His training in systemic team coaching and integrative couples therapy gives him a distinctive lens on the interpersonal dynamics that most coaches either avoid or oversimplify, such as fractures, power dynamics, and unspoken rules that drive outcomes. He brings this into coaching by helping leaders understand their own behaviour and how they function within the system of relationships around them. Experience and Context Sean's coaching sits within a broader practice that includes systemic team coaching, senior leader conflict mediation, facilitation, and research. This breadth means he appreciates the organisational context his coachees are operating in — not just the individual leadership challenge. Sean's client experience spans financial services, government, health, education, and energy. He has coached C-suite and senior executives, led culture and capability work across large health organisations, and delivered programs for succession and development for high performing leaders. As former head of consulting at Melbourne Business School, he led a team of experienced management consultants to uplift leadership capability for a range of contexts. He is a current faculty member for the Master of Psychology (Organisational) at Deakin University, where he teaches and researches leadership, change, and team effectiveness. His combination of academic rigour, consulting depth, and lived experience means Sean brings more than coaching technique to an engagement. He brings a practitioner's understanding of how organisations actually work and where coaching can create the most leverage. Qualifications and Accreditations Sean holds a Master of Psychology (Organisational) from Deakin University and is registered with the Psychology Board of Australia. He is certified in Hogan (including 360), Saville (including 360), the Strong Interest Inventory, MLQ+ Leader 360, and Leadership Circle. His additional training includes systemic team coaching and integrative couples therapy.

Mac Ling is an executive coach and facilitator who partners with senior leaders navigating the deeper challenges of growth: leading through uncertainty, evolving beyond the habits that created initial success, and stepping into roles that demand a fundamentally different way of operating. Mac's coaching is grounded in the belief that sustainable change requires more than a goal and a plan. It requires the willingness to look honestly at what's getting in the way, the discipline to unlearn what's no longer serving you, and the courage to lead differently. His approach draws on vertical development and trauma-informed practice to help leaders recognize when they're no longer having their stories, but are being had by them. Mac is the founder of Coaching Collective and has been coaching leaders professionally in APAC since 2015. He has worked with a wide range of organizations, including BlackRock, HSBC, Netflix, PIMCO, Point 72 Capital, Automattic, AlphaSights, the US Department of Commerce, Airbnb, Bank of America, Credit Suisse, The Nature Conservancy, and The Peninsula Hotels. Prior to coaching, Mac held a general management role at Sprint Corporation, where he led end-to-end product lifecycle management for Boost Mobile's Digital Media business, with P&L accountability for $85M in annual revenue. He grew digital media revenues by 23% year over year and increased user penetration of those services 300% to 4M subscribers. Earlier in his career, he spent six years in sales engineering and consulting roles at software and IT services companies in Silicon Valley. He has also launched seven ventures since 2001. Mac holds the Master Executive Coach certification from the Association for Coaching and is an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC).

As a certified ICF ACC certified coach for 5 years, I also coached clients on various life issues such as self discipline, managing difficult relationship and stress management. I have also mentored aspiring coaches in their journey to be certified coach. I believe coaching can empower you to be a better leader and lead a more fulfilling and purposeful life. Certified as a EQi and EQ360 assessor and an Agile coach, I can introduce EQ assessment to clients to help them understand their personality traits derived from their awareness, peer and supervisor's assessments. With the data, I coach team leaders and members to improve on their interpersonal skills, confidence and become better at self and relationship managements.

Prior to her current role as Managing Partner of Petadiri Leadership, Wendy had over 25 years of multinational corporations growing businesses across Asia. TESTIMONIALS " I was coached by Wendy over a multi month window in 2022/ 2023. We discussed a myriad of topics, but at it's heart, we spoke about leadership, influence without role power and building impactful teams. I came away from each session enriched having learnt something new about myself - a precious gift that is incredibly hard to come by. One major tool I took away from the experience is to critically reflect on the core assumptions on which the conundrum in question rests and systematically peel it off. Coach Wendy's process is thorough but adaptive to the needs of the person being coached. For instance, in my case, she would encourage open ended conversation to start and we'd build a meaningful session from the tactical question I've been grappling with over that period finally culminating in a material point of self reflection. From her coaching, I find myself more empathetic and more capable of creating psychological safety for my team as well as better armed to work with xfn stakeholders in a large matrixed org. Thank you Wendy!” Saurabh Choudhary Data Science Leader @Google "Wendy is a highly experienced and proficient coach. I had the pleasure of knowing her in the Executive Coaching program which she has established to guide the participant to uncover their real potential and undergo a journey of reflection of their personalities, motivation drivers, and best way to attain goals with different levels of management and teams. Wendy stood out as an excellent coach as she has excellent communication skills which can easily connect with anyone in her pleasant personality and high integrity, which immediately command the client’s trust and respect. I would recommend Wendy to anyone who needs Executive coaching and leadership program as she will make a change in any Leader, especially when leadership style is more challenging now and will no longer be the same after the pandemic period."

I’m not your typical leadership and team coach – and that’s by design. I combine thoughtful insight with a courageous, creative spark to help leaders and teams work in deeper, more connected ways. My approach is warm, honest, and sometimes a little unconventional, designed to strengthen relationships, communication, and shared purpose. And that’s where the real work begins. I believe coaching is about finding the spark within you – the things that drive you, light you up, and give you the courage to act. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore your values, clarify your goals, and take meaningful steps toward what truly matters to you. Emotional intelligence is at the heart of my work, shaping how I support you. Whether you're leading a team, going through a career transition or organizational changes, shaping your leadership style, or seeking out your true purpose, I trust that you already hold the answers. My role is to walk beside you, meet you with gentle curiosity, ask good questions, and help you uncover the insights and direction you need. I support leaders and teams in building self‑awareness, strengthening relationships, and acting with authenticity and purpose. I focus on being present, listening deeply, and creating space for reflection, growth, and courageous action. Every coaching journey is custom made for you and designed together with you. As a team, systemic, and executive coach based in Finland, I work with leaders, teams, and professionals in tech, creative, and internationally minded growth organizations. I design and facilitate workshops and team coaching journeys centered on trust, collaboration, and shared purpose. Alongside that work, I support individuals navigating leadership transitions, burnout recovery, and making thoughtful choices they can stand behind. Before coaching full‑time, I spent 20 years in brand, marketing, and communications – most recently as VP Marketing at a Finnish software company. I spent five years on the global executive team, working closely with engineering, product, and business leaders to shape marketing strategies, brand reputation, and company culture. I led a creative team of seven through acquisitions, hybrid- and remote-work shifts, and brand transformations. I also facilitated retrospectives and team sessions to strengthen collaboration. Diversity, inclusion, and well‑being guided how I led, and our team reached 90% career‑satisfaction. I also understand the pressure leaders face to deliver results. My work in storytelling and communication helped support revenue growth from €14.1M to €25.1M during my years in executive leadership. Across all my roles, one thread is strong: I thrive on helping people uncover that certain “spark” that lifts them up. In my coaching practice, this looks like deep listening and reflective inquiry that inspires insights and purposeful action. It also means noticing how your environment shapes your reactions and relationships, and helping you work with that awareness in a healthier, more connected way. My coaching is supported by professional training and accreditation. I hold a Professional Executive Coaching Certification from Henley Business School (2024), and I’m accredited as both an ICF ACC (2028) and an EMCC EIA Practitioner (2030). I’ve also completed Henley’s Professional Certificate in Team & Systemic Coaching, which deepens my work with groups and organizational dynamics. Earlier in my career, I earned both BSc (Environmental Studies) and MA (Geography) degrees from Michigan State University, USA. Clients often come to me when they’re facing change, tough feedback, burnout, or big questions about what’s next. With leaders, founders, and professionals, I create a reflective space where insight, courage, and clarity can spark meaningful growth. With teams, I co-create journeys that build trust, improve communication, strengthen emotional intelligence, and deliver more value to stakeholders – especially in high‑change, multicultural settings. The aim is to help teams shift from reactive to reflective, from siloed to connected, and from confusion to shared purpose. The way I coach is rooted in presence, compassion, and non‑judgment. A long‑standing mindfulness practice and study of Buddhist philosophy shape how I show up. They help me meet people with curiosity and patience, and see both the person in front of me and the wider system they’re working in. This creates a space where people can slow down, reconnect with themselves, and let insights spark real, lasting change. If you’re looking for a coach who will walk beside you, meet you with gentle curiosity, ask good questions, and support your growth with care, I’m here for that. I love helping people grow in ways that feel true to themselves and their values. I’m looking forward to being part of your growth journey – and for you to be part of mine!

As a coach with an entrepreneurial and executive background, I support leaders and their teams to gain a deep understanding of their current reality, develop paths forward and empower their organisations to effectively deliver results. I am a values-driven person who sees his purpose in creating a positive impact through innovation and a strong focus on the individual. By building trust among stakeholders my focus lies in empowering and enabling the individuals and teams to create meaningful and sustainable outcomes. My contextual leadership style has proven to work well in dynamic and challenging environments, bridging gaps across sectors, cultures, and ages. My experience spans the public, private, and non-profit sectors in industries like automotive, aerospace, IT, biotech, and chemicals.
I am an organisational and coaching psychologist with over 25 years’ experience of working internationally with leaders at all levels, including Partners, C-Suite Executives and Directors. My key interest is helping leaders apply themselves with more wisdom, insight and balance to mutually benefit their work, their home life, their community and themselves, and secure their long-term satisfaction and success. Through the blended application of evidence-based psychological principles and business understanding, I have built specific expertise in helping leaders navigate work's complexities with grace and purpose (psychological flexibility), accelerating their comfort and value add during role and career shifts (accelerated transitions), and cultivating a robust psychological state that enables them to thrive amidst life's challenges (mental fitness). I spent the last 18 years of my corporate career with EY (Ernst & Young) in the UK and Australia working across all aspects of Executive Development, culminating in my role as a fulltime Executive Development Coach fulfilling demand from their most senior Partners and Executive Directors across the firm for bespoke executive coaching. This included working with members of the Executive Leadership team, Managing Partners and senior lateral hires from a variety of business backgrounds. I am certified in a wide range of relevant leadership assessment and development tools, which I use in those situations where additional objective feedback would add value to the coaching experience. As a registered psychologist, I am also dedicated to continual professional development in order to bring the latest thought leadership to the benefit of my clients.
