Real Change, Lasting Impact
Stories of transformation, growth, and renewed confidence—for leaders and organisations navigating what’s next.
Enabling Transformation
A CEO of a world-renowned arts organisation sought to evolve her leadership presence. Through our work together, she developed a style that projected confidence, approachability, and a renewed connection with both younger audiences and key stakeholders. This transformation elevated her professional impact—strengthening relationships with donors and board members—and brought new confidence into her personal life. Together, we refined her communication style and presence, resulting in more effective relationships and a new level of success, both at work and beyond.
“Coni is one of those rare individuals who can walk the fine line between embracing your current outward portrayal while guiding you to dig within to find your true essence and its outward reflection. The transformation occurred at my pace and took approximately a year. As a result, my improved inner and outward confidence transported me to a terrific CEO post on the East Coast. To this day, Coni's guidance accompanies me on every shopping excursion.”
— Anne Ewers, President and CEO, Kimmel Center
Navigating Executive Transition
When a C-level leader’s role was set to change in a direction he didn’t want, the organisation engaged me to support a positive transition. Over six months of confidential coaching, we prepared him for a new chapter, supported the team through change, and kept leadership informed with professionalism and discretion. The result: a smooth transition, a team that remained engaged, and an executive who moved confidently into a new, fulfilling role elsewhere.
Driving Performance
As organisations grow, so do the demands on their leaders. I work with CEOs and founders as they navigate the pivotal shift from start-up energy to established leadership. Using my “Five Facets of Impact” and “MetaThinking” frameworks, I help executives move from being one of the team to leading with clarity, confidence, and vision.
For one CEO in the high-performance automotive sector, this transition meant redefining relationships, setting new boundaries, and stepping fully into the role of leader. Together, we focused on practical strategies for communication, presence, and decision-making—enabling him to guide his company through rapid growth with integrity and impact.
“I’ve referred numerous individuals who need help getting to the next level to Coni because she can truly elevate a person's performance. She brings with her experience, education and professionalism, and is intuitive when it comes to people and situations. Through her experience working at all levels, she can quickly identify the weak areas of a presentation and apply proven techniques to quickly improve the person’s presentation skills. She is thorough in her evaluation, creative in her approach, and caring in her application. You become not only a better presenter through her coaching, but you leave a better person.”

Communicating Change
Every organisation faces unique challenges. Here are a few examples of how I’ve partnered with leaders and teams to create meaningful, measurable change:
- Transforming Culture in a Global Energy Company: Guided a leadership team through a major cultural transformation, resulting in stronger engagement, clearer communication, and a renewed sense of purpose across a workforce of over 100,000 employees.
- Supporting Seamless Change During Mergers: Advised executive teams through complex mergers and acquisitions, designing communication strategies that built trust, reduced uncertainty, and helped employees adapt with confidence.
- Elevating Leadership Presence: Coached senior women leaders in multinational organisations to strengthen executive presence, navigate high-stakes transitions, and lead with clarity and authenticity.
- Building Resilient Teams: Developed and delivered bespoke programmes to enhance team cohesion, resilience, and wellbeing during periods of rapid organisational change.
