One-to-one coaching
Confidential coaching for leaders, founders, and professionals. There is no fixed curriculum: scope, cadence, and focus are set with you, with clear success measures agreed at the start. We begin with a free discovery call to define the work and confirm fit.
Where coaching helps
- Leadership under pressure: decision-making, presence, and resilience in high-stakes roles.
- Transitions and growth: stepping into a larger role, a new mandate, or a career pivot.
- Burnout and sustainability: rebuilding capacity, boundaries, and judgment under sustained demand.
- Communication and influence: difficult conversations, feedback, and stakeholder dynamics.
Coaching for teams and organizations
We partner with leaders, HR teams, and EAP programs on engagements built around your team's goals. Options include team coaching and offsites, keynotes and workshops on burnout, resilience, and mental health literacy, leadership development, support for teams after critical incidents, and return-to-work planning. Every program is custom created and custom priced, and also starts with a free discovery call.
Performance support from sport and performance psychology
For athletes and performers, and for professionals whose work depends on performing under pressure, Dr. Zarina Giannone practises sport and performance psychology. Sometimes called mental performance coaching, this work focuses on the mental skills and strategies that support performance, and on the anxiety, perfectionism, or confidence concerns that can get in the way.
