Erika specializes in one of the most critical—and often overlooked—leadership transitions: helping newly promoted leaders shift from being individual problem-solvers to building problem-solving capability in others. Professional Background With 18 years of corporate experience, Erika's leadership expertise was forged through real-world transformation challenges. Most recently, as Vice President of Customer Focus at Wood Mackenzie, she led a $430M research business through a major organizational transformation, restructuring teams across 13 countries into a unified Customer Success function. Her achievements included driving a $3M uplift in retention, maintaining 68% engagement through significant restructuring, and developing multiple direct reports into regional leadership roles. Beyond operational results, Erika was recognized as a culture creator, founding the Singapore Coaching Club, serving on the APAC Leadership Team, and leading gender equity initiatives. This experience crystallized her understanding of the internal shifts required when high-performing strategic thinkers must influence and develop others rather than simply deliver results themselves. Coaching Expertise Erika's coaching practice focuses on leaders navigating the "hero trap": when the problem-solving abilities that made you a star individual contributor begin creating dependency instead of capability in your team. She works with strategic, high-performing leaders who excel at seeing what needs to change but struggle to influence others to follow their vision. Her approach goes beyond traditional leadership skills training to address the identity-level transformation required for sustainable leadership effectiveness. Through applied leadership experiments conducted in clients' real work environments, she helps leaders shift from anxiety-driven urgency to calm strategic presence, from needing all the answers to influencing without certainty. Unique Value Proposition What sets Erika apart is her deep understanding of the internal drives that create high performance—and how those same drives must evolve when leading others. She creates high-trust, structured transformation containers where accomplished leaders can safely examine and challenge their current narratives around leadership without losing what makes them exceptional. Client Profile Erika's clients are typically: Recently promoted leaders (0-3 years in leadership) from technical, analytical, or consulting backgrounds High performers leading organizational change who find their individual contributor strengths aren't translating to leadership influence Strategic thinkers ready for intensive personal development work without hand-holding Core Philosophy "The shift from hero to leader isn't about learning new skills; it's about the internal foundation that allows you to actually use them. When your identity hasn't caught up to your new expectations, you resist the very changes that would make you effective." Erika's coaching creates sustainable transformation by addressing not just what leaders do, but who they are and how they create value through others. Specializations: Leadership transitions, Change leadership, High-potential development, Individual contributor to manager transitions, Identity-based leadership coaching Approach: Applied experiments, Identity transformation, Peer learning, Structured reflection, Real-world application
I am an ICF PCC-certified Executive & Career Coach with an MBA and a professional background spanning HR, talent development, career consulting, leadership development and business. Over the course of my career, I have worked with professionals, executives, leaders and entrepreneurs across different industries and career stages, supporting them in making purposeful career decisions, strengthening their leadership capabilities and positioning themselves effectively in a competitive professional environment. My career in HR and people development gave me a strong understanding of how organisations, leaders and talent decisions interact. I have extensive experience working with professionals on career development, recruitment, professional positioning and transitions. This perspective allows me to understand both sides of the career equation: the individual’s aspirations, strengths and potential, as well as the expectations and realities of organisations and the labour market. As a coach, I work primarily at the intersection of career, leadership and professional identity. I support executives and experienced professionals who are navigating career transitions, seeking their next leadership opportunity, stepping into greater responsibility, or looking to clarify and communicate their professional value. I also work with women in leadership and Women in Tech, helping them strengthen their visibility, confidence, positioning and leadership impact. My approach combines strategic career coaching with behavioural and personality-based insights. As a LINC Personality Profiler Coach, I use personality-based perspectives to help clients better understand their natural strengths, behavioural patterns, communication preferences and potential blind spots. This creates a deeper foundation for making career and leadership decisions that are both strategically sound and authentic to the individual. I also bring a strong business perspective through my MBA and experience in professional consulting and organisational contexts. I understand that career decisions are not made in isolation: they are influenced by business strategy, organisational culture, leadership expectations, market dynamics and stakeholder relationships. I therefore help clients move from reflection to concrete action — clarifying their direction, developing a compelling career narrative, strengthening their professional positioning and preparing for critical career conversations and interviews. My coaching work covers areas including Executive Coaching, Career Coaching, Leadership Development, Career Transitions, Personal Positioning, Executive Presence, Female Leadership, Women in Tech, Interview Preparation and Professional Branding. I particularly enjoy working with experienced professionals who have achieved a certain level of success but are ready for their next chapter and want to be more intentional about it. Whether the goal is moving into a leadership role, changing direction, returning to the market, increasing visibility, or communicating their value more effectively, I provide a structured and challenging yet supportive space to turn ambiguity into clarity and clarity into action. My coaching style is strategic, pragmatic, insightful and personalised. I combine thoughtful questioning and reflection with practical tools, market perspective and clear next steps. My objective is not to tell clients what career decision to make, but to help them develop the clarity, confidence and strategy to make the right decision for themselves — and then act on it. Ultimately, my professional background enables me to bring together three perspectives: the individual and their potential, the organisation and its expectations, and the realities of the market. This combination is at the core of how I support clients in creating sustainable career and leadership progress.
-Passionate about helping leaders move from languishing to flourishing- With over 18 years of leadership and coaching experience across six continents, I have worked within a variety of global, national, and local organisations to help clients become the best versions of themselves—both professionally and personally. This includes Employment (Career) Services, Human Resources/Learning, and Development, Community Services, Finance, Government, Retail/Hospitality, Education and Tech. Within these industries, I have helped both experienced and emerging leaders as well as individual contributors with leadership development, career planning, confidence, communication, conflict resolution, executive function, change/uncertainty, wellbeing, and parenting. Whilst able to work across all areas of leadership development, some of the most common areas of positive gain that people walk away with from coaching with myself include: -Increased connection with self and others. Through coaching, leaders can gain a deeper understanding of their own strengths, weaknesses and needs, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of their team members. This can lead to improved communication and collaboration, and a stronger sense of connection within the team. -Improved communication skills. Effective communication is essential for any leader. Coaching has helped leaders develop their communication skills, so they can more effectively convey their ideas, build relationships, and resolve conflict. -Increased confidence. Almost all leaders have stated they have seen this as an outcome post coaching together! Coaching can help leaders develop a stronger sense of confidence in their abilities. This can lead to more assertive decision-making, greater risk-taking, and a more positive outlook on challenges. -Enhanced career/life development. Coaching can help leaders identify their career/life goals and develop a plan to achieve them. This can lead to promotions, increased responsibility, and greater job/life satisfaction. Many leaders have worked on this during our sessions and are now pursuing the career /life plans they were seeking. Passionate about DEIB, I am also a qualified ADHD coach and work with leaders to cultivate awareness of executive function and development of pragmatic skills to manage and thrive with their ADHD. This may be for the individual leader with ADHD or for any leader committed to cultivating and supporting staff with ADHD and a diverse workplace. The boring stuff... ICF-certified, I hold a Post Graduate Certificate in Coaching and Leadership, a Bachelor of Social Science (Welfare/Youth work), and multiple Diplomas in Human Resource Management. I am also a fully accredited DISC and 360 assessment facilitator. The fun stuff! Personally I enjoy music and singing, travel, the beach and mountains, pilates and reading and spending time with my friends and family.

Gillian Walter Hello and a very warm welcome. I’m Gillian Walter, an Accredited Master Coach, Advanced Credentialled Team Coach, Accredited Master Coach Supervisor, teacher, mentor and author. I work with individuals, groups, teams, leaders and coaches who want to grow with clarity, confidence, and integrity from the inside out. I bring over 4,000 hours of coaching experience, alongside many years of teaching, supervising, assessing and mentoring coaches at different stages of their professional journey. My work spans 1:1 coaching, team coaching, coaching supervision and coach education, always grounded in strong ethical foundations and a deep respect for each person’s unique way of thinking, learning, working and leading. Originally from the UK, I have lived and worked on Lake Zürich since 2004, coaching in English, Swiss German and High German. Like many people I work with, I know first-hand that transition, whether cultural, professional or personal, can be both challenging and transformative. My own experience as an expatriate sparked a long-standing curiosity about how people adapt, grow and rediscover themselves in times of change based on their inner-narratives. That compassionate curiosity continues to shape my work today. My professional background includes early work bringing coaching principles into organisations alongside a Canadian ice-hockey coach, followed by formal coach training with the Institute de Coaching in Geneva, Narrative Coaching with the Moment Institute, and Coaching Supervision with the Coaching Supervision Academy. Over time, my practice has evolved into a rich integration of systemic, narrative, somatic, creative and evidence-based coaching approaches. Alongside my private practice, I teach and supervise within a team coaching school, working closely with the Team Coaching Global Alliance. I also train and mentor new coaches with the Institute de Coaching, and teach coaching supervision students, supporting them to develop reflective capacity, ethical maturity and confidence in their own voice and style. At the heart of my work is a deep belief that who you are is how you work at your best. My passion is bringing confidence and clarity to each unique voice and helping people reconnect with their authentic strengths, creativity and inner authority. I care deeply about creating spaces that are both safe and structured enough to support trust and open enough for play, curiosity and exploration for fresh perspectives, learning and growth to emerge. Creativity runs through everything I do. I am also a poet and fine artist, and I regularly weave metaphor, imagery and reflective practices into my coaching and supervision. I’ve learned over the years that insight doesn’t only come from thinking harder, it often arrives when we slow down, listen differently and allow new ways of knowing to surface. Everyone is different, even when situations look similar. I love partnering with clients to explore recurring patterns, challenge limiting narratives and old, limiting habits to uncover the “superpowers” often hidden within what once felt like obstacles. Seeing someone step into their own, authentic way of being - better resourced, more self-trusting and more at ease is what makes my work endlessly fun and meaningful to me. If you’re looking for a thoughtful, experienced coaching partner who combines depth, creativity, structure, warmth and playfulness, I’d be delighted to work with you. I’m very much looking forward to getting to know you.

Kayla - Marketing Specialist - Sydney, Australia I recommend these coaching sessions for anyone who is willing to improve but needs help taking the right steps or needs help setting up a plan to achieve their goals Stephane - Varsity College, Durban, South Africa Before starting these sessions I was a bit rudderless in how I was going about my day to day life. This led me to believe that I wasn't really celebrating successes in my life & I was in a cycle where it was rinse & repeat from month to month, quarter to quarter, FY to FY. From my time with Tom I realised that I wasn't celebrating life goals because I didn't have any goals defined to celebrate. The sessions really helped me determine the type of person I want to be & also the goals that I can celebrate in being this person. It was a difficult exercise with a lot of internal reflection but the outcome has been amazing & I can say confidently that the rudderless cycle has come to an end.

Transition and leadership coach helping accomplished professionals turn uncertainty into a plan they trust, ICF ACC About Me: I work with accomplished, mid career to senior professionals at the most demanding moments in their careers.
