You want:

High performing teams delivering exceptional results (without burning out).
Top talent attraction and retention.
Strong leadership pipeline.
How do you achieve this?
Confident Leaders
Through coaching, leaders recognise their unique value, grow their confidence, and the soft skills required to lead high performing teams.
Acceleration of the transition from “doer” to “leader”
Many professionals hit a ceiling when leadership, business development, and people management become key to progression. Coaching supports the mindset and behavioural shifts required to move from high-performing individual contributor to influential leader, accelerating readiness for senior management and Partner-track roles.
Development of identified gaps in capabilities
Coaching is tailored to the needs of the individual to address key gaps and develop core leadership capabilities such as giving feedback, having difficult conversations, managing team dynamics, and making strategic decisions.
Promotion of sustainable high performance and wellbeing
Coaching builds self-leadership and resilience which are essential skills for avoiding burnout. As leaders learn to prioritise their own wellbeing, they role model healthier practices for their teams, creating a culture of performance and sustainability.
Helping you achieve your breakthrough
Hi, I’m Ilze! I am a Chartered Accountant turned Executive Leadership Coach.
With more than a decade in Big Four and corporate finance, I’ve seen first-hand that the quality of leadership makes or breaks performance. Great leaders find meaning in their work, inspire loyalty, build trust, and leave a lasting impact on the people they lead.
But too often leaders are promoted without the preparation or support they need. On an individual level, this leaves them overwhelmed, doubting themselves, and at risk of burnout. On an organisational level, it leads to disengaged teams, higher turnover, and lower company performance.
That’s why investing in leadership development matters!
As owner of Everise Executive Solutions I partner with both firms and individuals in professional services to overcome challenges by equipping leaders with the tools, mindset, and support they need to lead with confidence and impact.
With expertise in executive coaching, leadership development, career coaching and high performance I support new managers learning how to lead, high-potential leaders building influence and experienced leaders struggling with confidence, boundaries, time management, or tough conversations.

How we can work together
Every firm is different and every leader’s journey is unique. I offer a range of tailored support pathways, whether you’re looking for ongoing coaching, focused sessions to get unstuck, or team-wide learning experiences.
