Personalized Executive Coaching for LeadersUnder Pressure.
You are successful, capable, and carrying a lot.
But leadership can become heavy when the decisions keep coming, the pressure does not let up, and the strengths that helped you rise start costing you your energy, focus, relationships, or sense of yourself.
Rae Francis Consulting provides private, psychology-informed executive coaching for executives, founders, senior leaders, business owners, and high-achieving professionals who want to lead with more clarity, steadiness, and sustainable confidence.
This is coaching for the pressure behind the performance.
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.
The goal is not just to keep succeeding. The goal is to succeed without abandoning yourself in the process.
From the outside, you may look like you are handling it.
You are still making decisions. Still leading meetings. Still solving problems. Still showing up for the people who rely on you.
But privately, the pace may be taking something from you.
Your mind may rarely shut off. Your patience may feel thinner. You may be more reactive than you want to be. You may be tired of over-functioning, proving, managing everyone else’s emotions, or carrying responsibility without a private place to process it.
You do not need generic leadership advice.
You need a confidential coaching space where you can step back, understand how you operate under pressure, and build a more sustainable way to lead.
Coaching for clarity, capacity, and sustainable leadership.
Executive resilience coaching helps you understand the patterns shaping how you think, lead, communicate, recover, and make decisions under pressure.
-
Build the capacity to stay clear, grounded, and intentional when the stakes are high.
-
Protect your focus, simplify complexity, and create clearer decision rhythms.
-
Rebuild capacity and create rhythms that support your ambition without constant depletion.
-
Navigate hard conversations, feedback, visibility, team tension, and relational dynamics with more steadiness.
-
Lead from clarity instead of over-functioning, perfectionism, people-pleasing, control, or self-doubt.
-
Move through promotions, pivots, expansion, founder pressure, business rebuilding, or identity shifts with support.
This coaching may be for you if…
You are a high-achieving leader who is successful on paper but privately stretched thin.
You are navigating growth, transition, conflict, visibility, burnout risk, or a season of reinvention.
You want to make clearer decisions without living in constant mental overload.
You are tired of running on urgency, pressure, or emotional endurance.
You want to communicate with more confidence, boundaries, and steadiness.
You want support that is personal, strategic, direct, and grounded in real life.
You do not want a canned program.
You want a trusted thinking partner who can help you see what you cannot see alone.

Leadership is not just strategic. It is human.
Most leadership advice focuses on what to do.
This coaching also looks at what is happening underneath: the pressure patterns, emotional load, decision habits, communication tendencies, recovery needs, and identity shifts that shape how you lead.
Rae brings together executive leadership experience, psychology-informed coaching, and practical strategy to help leaders build sustainable success from the inside out.
Business-aware: Rae understands the reality of leadership, responsibility, performance pressure, team dynamics, growth, and high-stakes decisions.
Psychology-informed: The work looks beneath surface behavior to the patterns driving stress, burnout, over-functioning, avoidance, control, people-pleasing, and self-doubt.
Practical and personal: You leave with insight, language, tools, and next steps you can use in your leadership and life.
Coaching from someone who understands both leadership and human behavior.
I spent 14 years in senior leadership, including serving as an Executive Vice President, so 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 16 years of psychology-informed experience helping high-achieving people understand the patterns beneath stress, burnout, over-functioning, self-doubt, and emotional exhaustion.
That combination is what makes this work different.
We will not just talk about goals.
We will look at the internal patterns shaping how you lead. We will identify what is draining you, what is driving you, and what needs to change. Then we will build a way of leading that supports both your performance and your humanity.
How the coaching process works
1) Start with a complimentary consultation
We begin with a private conversation about what you are carrying, what you want to shift, and what level of support may fit this season.
2) Choose the right coaching path
You may choose a single Strategic Coaching Session, the annual Executive Resilience Coaching Partnership, or the higher-touch Private Leadership Advisory option.
3) Build a coaching rhythm
For annual clients, we create a coaching roadmap based on your leadership context, goals, pressure patterns, and capacity needs.
4) Apply the work in real life
Coaching is designed to support the real decisions, conversations, transitions, and leadership moments happening in your life and work.
This is not surface-level leadership coaching.
This coaching is not for leaders looking for quick hacks, generic motivation, or someone to simply validate everything they are already doing.
This work is reflective, strategic, honest, and personal.
It is for leaders who are ready to look beneath the surface, take responsibility for their patterns, and build a more sustainable way to lead.
You do not need to be in crisis to get support. You only need to be ready to lead differently.
