Former EVP. Executive Resilience Coach. Leadership partner for the human side of high responsibility.You can be successful and still need a different way to carry it.
From the outside, you may look capable, composed, and high-functioning.
Inside, it may feel different.
You may be carrying more decisions, more visibility, more complexity, and more responsibility than people realize. Your mind may rarely shut off. Your patience may feel thinner. Your calendar may be full, but your capacity may be running low.
You do not need generic advice or another productivity hack.

This is coaching for the pressure behind the performance.This coaching may be for you if success has started to feel too costly.

You are tired of over-functioning, people-pleasing, controlling, proving, or carrying everything alone.
You want to lead with more clarity, confidence, emotional steadiness, and self-trust.

HI, I’M RAE
Executive Resilience Coach, former EVP, and psychology-informed leadership partner.
I help high-achieving leaders build sustainable success without sacrificing their health, relationships, or humanity.
Before founding Rae Francis Consulting, I spent more than a decade in senior leadership, including serving as an Executive Vice President overseeing sales and operations. I understand the pressure of making high-stakes decisions, managing complexity, carrying responsibility, and leading when people are looking to you for direction.
I also bring years of experience helping people understand the patterns beneath stress, burnout, over-functioning, self-doubt, emotional exhaustion, and growth.
That combination is what makes this work different.
I understand the business side of leadership.
I understand the human side of pressure.
And I understand how deeply the two are connected.
“Every leader faces pressure. What defines us is not the weight we carry, but how we learn to stand differently beneath it. That’s where strength turns into clarity.” - Rae
