Elysian Leadership provides leadership coaching programmes for women leaders and the organisations they serve, supporting them to navigate complex transitions with clarity, calm and confidence. Founded by Claire, a transformational leadership advisor and ICF PCC‑certified executive coach, the business focuses on the inner shifts that strengthen the outer work of leadership.
Through 1:1 coaching, small groups and team programmes, Elysian Leadership creates a grounded, reflective space for leaders to pause, make sense of change and reconnect with who they are becoming. The work supports women to rebuild trust in their judgement, reconnect with their voice and strengths, and develop more sustainable, self‑aware ways of leading.
Elysian Leadership partners with organisations across a range of sectors, mainly in energy, science, and technology, who are navigating transformation, scaling and cultural change. Claire brings a thoughtful, practical approach rooted in psychological safety, supporting women stepping into broader roles and greater complexity.
With over twenty‑five years’ experience in HR, organisational development and leadership development—including two decades in the global energy sector—Claire blends strategic insight with deep human understanding. Her work draws on somatic awareness, nature‑inspired principles and research from her PhD on career change.
At its core, Elysian Leadership supports women to lead with clarity, groundedness and self‑trust, even in the most complex moments of transition.
“During a challenging career transition period, the coaching support I received from Claire was immensely helpful. It allowed me to take time out to focus on myself and explore what truly matters to me. Claire takes the time to listen and asks insightful questions. She offers constant encouragement and provides helpful imagery allowing me to think about challenges in a different way. I have greatly appreciated the coaching sessions we had together and would thoroughly recommend to her to others.“
