Strengthening self-leadership for lasting high performance and a calmer life balance | Personal & professional growth | Great leadership begin from within | 25 years in Comms & Leadership

Many women in leadership come to a point where the load grows faster than their capacity to carry it. 

Patience thins, confusion grows and you end up doing more and more… while feeling less and less like yourself.

I’m a leadership coach for emotionally intelligent women in demanding roles: 
The steady one, the strong one, the calm and capable one everyone relies on.

...all while you feel exhausted and find yourself wondering:

“Why am I this tired when I’m doing everything right?”
“How do I lead in a way that doesn’t drain me?”

I help you strengthen your self-leadership from the inside out — with boundaries, courage and practical tools — so you can lead in a way that feels grounded and genuinely YOU. This means doing the right things, for the right reasons, having energy left at the end of the day. 

Here are 3 ways we can work together:

I. Individual coaching or mentoring
Tailored support based on your needs, or my 7-week program for strengthening your mental, emotional and physical capacity.

II. Group program
Ledarprogrammet Perspeqtiv: a small-group leadership program for women leaders, on site in Malmö (Swedish).

Boundary Bootcamp: a 2 week challenge to help you set (and hold!) strong, clear boundaries and start prioritising yourself again. 

III. For teams & organisations
Team and leadership development, workshops and lectures.
Best discussed in conversation 🤓

With me, you get:
🌱 Grounded, research-backed methods blending coaching, neuroscience and emotional intelligence
🌱 A structured, warm space to reflect, grow and take real action
🌱 A certified ICF coach committed to your long-term capacity, not quick performance hacks

Based in Sweden. 
Working globally.
Languages: Swedish & English.

I help good girls become confident leaders of themselves and their teams | Coach for people-pleasers and perfectionists done being the good girl | Nästa grupp Ledarprogrammet Perspeqtiv startar februari 2026 🔭

Kolla dessa cheferna.
Första gruppen någonsin i Ledarprogrammet Perspeqtiv.

I fredags sågs vi för sjätte och sista gången. Då hyllade vi de kliv som var och en tagit under programmets tio månader. Både de egna och varandras.

För vi snackar KLIV, inte steg.

Det blir så i en liten, tajt grupp där man vågar lyssna inåt och tänka högt.

🎉Vi hyllade mod.
🎉Vi hyllade att stå i sina värderingar.
🎉Vi hyllade att våga utmana, att experimentera utan att veta hur det ska gå.

Jag är så stolt över dessa chefer, vår allra första "kull".

Jag är också stolt över att Elin och jag vågade säga "JA, vi kör”. Ibland vet man bara att något är rätt. Och då ska man köra.

Grattis till ”examen” Anna Wickholm Anna Assarsson Renée Sibolt Camilla Brink Schütz Tove Svärd Helene Jensen Vanja Söderblom och vi ses på julmingel i eftermiddag. Tillika första träffen med Nätverket Perspeqtiv ✨

🔭 Leder du andra och vill utvecklas i ditt ledarskap tillsammans med andra kvinnliga chefer? Då kan Perspeqtiv vara rätt plats.

💌 Sugen på att vara med? Hör av dig till mig eller Elin.

How a red shirt helps me overcome self-doubt.
(a tip for all the good girls out there)

Research repeatedly shows that women carry far more of this than men:

Nasty thoughts sneaking up on us to tell us we’re 
> not good enough
> not smart enough
> not worthy of taking up space

Call them self-doubts or limiting beliefs — 
they’re ugly and paralyzing either way.

When those thoughts visit me, I know my confidence might shiver... which will change how I show up.

Enter: 
My red training shirt.
The one I wear when I lead my workout classes.

The gym floor is an arena where I feel fully confident.

I’ve been an instructor for 25 years. I know I’m good at it — and when I’m in that role, there's a certain energy and a certain vibe. A strong one.

So I visualize putting on that red shirt... 
...and with it, I shift myself into that energy. 

👊 Boom. I can do anything again.

✍🏼Tell me: what’s your “red shirt”, if you have one?
(If you don't, look in the comments and I'll guide you)

“I want to do this workshop every year.”
 
That's what a woman told me some weeks after doing my "design-the-new-year" workshop. 

It meant a lot that she said it — still makes me smile 😊
 
The good news?  
I 𝘥𝘰 run this workshop every year!  

More than 400 women have done it online already — many of them coming back again and again, to create a new, updated roadmap. 

Because what we do works. 

Every now and then women message me (or tell me, if I meet them) that they've reached a milestone or ticked something off that came to them during this workshop. 

Last week I opened registration for the 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝗱 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗚𝗶𝗿𝗹'𝘀 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻.

In only 90 minutes, you’ll set your direction and craft a roadmap with the actions so that you can make 2026 a year with you firmly in the driver’s seat.

It’s free. It’s in English.  
You don’t have to speak — just show up and follow my guidance. Your roadmap is yours only. 

🗓️ Tuesday, January 6
⏰ 13.00-14.30 CET
💻 Online on Teams
🌟 Free to join

PS. I share the recording with all registered, so if you want to join but timing is bad — you can still do it on your own. 

📸 I run this workshop both online and IRL. Last Thursday I led it live at Börsdamerna. Thanks for having me!

This week it started. 

Someone mentioned Christmas gifts.
Another said her Christmas stress is ramping up. 

Soon all activities around school, sports, shows and concerts start lining up.... 

November and December are hectic. 

Sooo much that needs to be done and delivered.... 
You can feel it, right? 

But saying you don’t have time to take care of yourself,
is like saying you’re too busy driving to stop for gas.

To all busy, loyal, hardworking good girls who hold everything (and everyone) together:

If you want to feel less stressed, have more energy and actually enjoy the parts of life that matter most to you... 
...but feel you can't afford taking a break... 

...where will you end up? (hint: burnt out)

> Working more hours won’t make you less busy.
> Going nonstop won’t make you more productive.
> Saying YES to do more tasks won't create more hours in a day.

Just like stopping for gas is important,
so is stopping to recharge yourself. 

Even when life is busy.
E s p e c i a l l y when life is busy. 

If you read this and feel:
—Tired
—Tired of feeling tired
—Guilty taking time to rest 
—Constantly in production mode
—"I just have to finish this little thing too" 

>>> You need to stop for gas. NOW.

PS. I know that you know this already. And sometimes it's helpful with a little reminder 💛

It takes a village to raise a child, they say. 
Mine raised a very good girl. 

I learnt how to fit in long before I learnt how to be me. 

I'm done with those edits. 
The coming chapters look different.

Making a Good Girl

I thought I was being helpful.
It turned out I was standing in the way.

For a long time, I believed good leadership meant having the answers and always being available. 

That fixing things was the same as supporting. That stepping in with a solution was the best help. That getting back on track quickly was development. 

Until one day. 

A team member was stuck and came to ask about something. I immediately saw how we could solve it. It was simple – but I didn’t have the time to explain. 

So instead I asked: "What are your thoughts?"

Silence. I went back to what I was doing.

A little later, my colleague returned – with a plan. 
And it was better than mine 🌟 

I think that’s when it hit me.

Every time I stepped in to “help,” I was taking something away: 
> the belief in their own ability 
> the satisfaction of figuring it out yourself 
> the growth that comes from handling challenges

I was taking away opportunities to grow 😬

So I started doing things in a different way. Challenging and uncomfortable at first, no doubt: 

> I held back my answers
> Asked better (and more) questions
> Got more comfortable with being uncomfortable
> And resisted the urge to step in as some kind of problem-solving superhero (difficult for good girls like me) 

I learnt that I didn't have to carry everything. And I certainly didn't have to carry them. 

My version of being a helpful leader was my bad good girl stepping in. 

The real growth – for both me and the team – came when I started unlearning that.

Curious: what's a leadership lesson you've learnt from being "in it"?

“Next year will be different.”

I’ll slow down. I’ll start saying no. I’ll prioritise myself more.

Don’t know how many Decembers I’ve said that to myself.
And then… life happened:

High expectations, fully-packed calendar, delivering results, kids to activities, oh gosh any dinner ideas anyone…?

And oupppss I was back in the familiar good-girl-loop of being everything for everyone — except myself.

For me, it took a burnout to realise and change how I lead myself. 
I don’t want it to get that far for you. 
I want you to fast-track your learning and make better choices, sooner than I did. 

Let me help you a little bit: 
On January 6 I’ll run one of my favourite workshops.

✨ The Bad Good Girl’s 2026 Plan ✨

In this (free) workshop, you’ll
> Get clear on what matters to you: what you need, want and long for in 2026.
> Create a personal roadmap that puts you on the priority list (right where you belong BTW).
> Learn how to create more space for wellbeing, rest and a life you enjoy — without dropping your ambition.

Make 2026 the year you choose, not just cope.

Next year will be different 💪🏼

✍🏼 Registration is now open — comment "DIFFERENT" if you want to join.

Hope to see you there!

We leak a lot of energy trying to control what we can’t.

Like the November weather. 
And the 'emotional weather' of others: 

> How people react
> Whether someone’s disappointed
> Predicting needs before they’re spoken

This is classic bad good girl behaviour:

Working overtime in places where our influence is exactly.... zero.

Like unpaid ’emotional meteorologists’. 

I write about this in today's newsletter. 

Enjoy your weekends everyone!

November is… special, isn’t it? Not in the magical way — more in the damp, dark, “why is the sky made of wet wool?” kind of way. Not my favourite mont

Open article: A Bad Good Girl's Take on November by Annika Mohlin 🌱 • 2 min read

Varför vänder ni er bara till kvinnor?

Det är en av frågorna vi brukar få om Ledarprogrammet Perspeqtiv.

Svaret:
Så länge det ser ut som det gör i företagsledningar och bolagsstyrelser vill vi göra vad vi kan för att boosta och stärka kvinnliga ledare.

Perspeqtiv är förstås bara en pusselbit bland många. 

Ett mer jämställt och emotionellt intelligent samhälle kräver dialog och förändring på flera nivåer. Vi fokuserar på att stötta kvinnor i att stärka sitt ledarskap och sin kapacitet, samtidigt som vi hejar på alla – kvinnor och män – som driver utvecklingen från andra håll.

Vi brukar få fler frågor: 

— Behöver man ha direktrapporterande för att vara med?
— Gör ni Perspeqtiv på engelska?
— Hur länge ska man ha varit chef? 
— Tänker ni starta en online-grupp någon gång?
— Kan ni köra det här programmet inhouse bara för oss?

Bläddra i dokumentet om du är nyfiken på svaren 🤓

📅 Vi startar 3 nya grupper under 2026, den första i februari. Platserna har börjat gå åt. 
💌 Sugen på att vara med? Hör av dig till mig eller Elin på DM eller i mail.

Allt du skulle vilja veta om Perspeqtiv, men varit för skraj att fråga om

”Jag har varit chef i drygt två år. Det är först nu som jag känner mig som en ledare.”

Helene hade sitt team utspritt över hela Sverige och dåligt samvete för att hon inte räckte till.

”Jag vill vara en närvarande ledare. Men hur är jag det på distans?”

Det var utmaningen hon tog med sig till Perspeqtiv. Engagerad, nyfiken och trött på att försöka vara överallt samtidigt.

Ganska snart insåg Helene hur hon kan vara närvarande även på distans.

Efter några månader hade hon hittat sitt angreppssätt, sin struktur för hur hon leder sitt team; både gruppen som helhet och var och en individuellt.

Helene är en sådan som verkligen gör det hon säger att hon ska göra. Hon har reflekterat, testat, justerat och till slut hittat sitt sätt. Med ett helt annat lugn nu än för nio månader sedan.

Och något som alla i gruppen märkt:

Hennes generositet. Hon delar med sig, stöttar, speglar, bjuder på sina lärdomar och hjälper andra att växa. Är inte det ledarskap i sig? 😉

Imorgon har vi sjätte och sista träffen med den allra första gruppen i Ledarprogrammet Perspeqtiv. Tusen tack Helene för att du varit med och allt du bidragit med. Det ska bli så roligt att följa din fortsatta framfart!

🔭 Helene är en av de mer "nya" cheferna. De flesta har mellan 3-10 års erfarenhet. Medan några har över 15 år - och matar sin fortsatta nyfikenhet på att växa som ledare och människa.

Busy day today? Every day busy up until Christmas? 

Here’s how I stay calm and focused, even with a super tight schedule. 

Because it’s nothing but a myth that working nonstop will help you get more done (spoiler alert: it won’t)

The best way to keep doing high quality work is to: 
✅ Take a break

Try one of these today: 

🌱 Look out a window
Notice what you see — colors, shapes, shadows, textures... 
Using your senses helps your mind slow down and stay in the moment. 

🌱 Think of three things you’re grateful for
Say them out loud or write them down. 
Gratitude helps to boost your mood and will make you feel happier! 

🌱 Step outside
Take a 20-minute walk—or even stand outside for 5 minutes. 
Fresh air clears your mind and gives you new energy. 

Think you don’t have time? 
You DO. 

Taking short breaks will make both you and your work better. 

You'll feel better → your work will be better. 

AND: you'll have time and energy left for the things (and people ❤️) that matter most to you. 

Need support in making more space for you and what you love?

I can help. 
👇
Join my (free) workshop on Tuesday January 6, 2026. 

In just 90 minutes we’ll create your roadmap for 2026, with your goals, needs and well-being in focus.

No matter age, industry or nationality, the women leaders I coach are talking about the same things.

Since recap and wrap season is here –
these are the patterns I'm noticing, wrapped up in a timely, seasonal outfit 😉

Curious: Does any of this feel familiar to you? 


PS. The rage-bait age thing? Yes, it's in the carousel too. 

PPS. I do my last coaching session for 2025 today. 
Thanks everyone who've trusted me to support you with your leadership, well-being, confidence... well: life 💛

Getting Senior Leaders to Optimal Performance and Sustainable Growth Without Burnout

You’re a driven leader — ambitious, high-performing, and committed to growth. You’ve earned your place. But with every new role, bigger scope, or transformation project, the pressure to deliver multiplies. ⤵️

Here’s what that can look like:
▶ You’ve stepped into a new or expanded role and want to make an impact fast
▶ You’re leading a major transformation and need your team aligned and performing
▶ You’re navigating complex dynamics — new stakeholders, shifting priorities, and constant pressure to deliver

These are the moments that make or break leaders. This is when:
– Clarity keeps you focused
– Confidence keeps you grounded
– Resilience keeps you growing

👉 That’s where I come in.

I help senior leaders and teams accelerate success in new roles or high-stakes transitions — transforming pressure into clarity, confidence, and sustainable growth.

Through a blend of executive coaching, team coaching, and leadership workshops, I help you:

✔️ Deliver results faster — without losing focus or wellbeing
✔️ Lead effectively through complexity, transition, and change
✔️ Strengthen leadership presence and strategic communication
✔️ Build trust, resilience, and alignment across teams

With 17+ years in Fortune 500 organisations (P&G, General Mills, GSK, Syngenta), I understand the realities of high-stakes leadership — demanding roles, constant change, and the pressure to perform.

Today, as an Executive Coach (ICF PCC, EMCC Senior Practitioner), I combine that experience with evidence-based coaching to help leaders and teams thrive — achieving sustainable growth under pressure.

🌍 Who I work with:

▶ Senior leaders stepping into new or bigger roles
▶ Executives leading transformation, restructuring, or cultural change
▶ Teams that need focus, clarity, and collaboration under pressure

🌟 My clients often tell me they gain not just clarity and stronger performance — but renewed energy, confidence, and impact in both work and life.

I’ve seen newly promoted executives inspire their teams through rapid change, senior leaders reignite their growth into higher-impact roles, and leadership teams build resilience and results — sustaining focus and wellbeing.

𝐈 𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐲 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤 - 
not just a day.
My husband wanted to create a truly memorable experience, and he did. 

From standing next to the tallest building in the world, 
to riding camels in the desert, 
to finding snow in the mountains - 
it was an unforgettable mix of contrasts.

But what stayed with me most wasn’t the places.

It was the 𝘮𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 - 
the deep human connections, the laughter, 
and the quiet spaces where time seemed to slow down.

Many of us love to work hard.
We’re driven, dedicated, and proud of what we achieve. 

But to 𝘴𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘺 - 
to lead, create, and show up fully - 
we also need moments that refill us.

Time to recharge your batteries.
Time to come back to yourself.
Time to feel inspired again.
And time with those you love - to simply be.

No one ever said joy has to fit into a weekend, a day, or an hour.
You can let it last as long as you wish.

There are no rules - 
only what feels right for you in that moment.

P.S: How do you recharge your energy and keep your life joyful?

Guiding Leaders & Teams Through High-Stakes Transitions | From Pressure to Clarity, Confidence & Sustainable Growth | Executive & Leadership Coach (ICF PCC) | Ex-Fortune 500

Tatiana Rueff, executive and leadership coach, in an elegant blue dress standing near the Burj Khalifa in Dubai at night, with city lights and reflections on the water in the background.

Last week at 𝐃𝐮𝐛𝐚𝐢 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤, 
I had one of those moments that stay with you.

I watched a master artisan from Van Cleef & Arpels working on an enamel dial - each layer of colour applied with precision you could barely see with the naked eye.

From where I stood, it looked beautiful.

But when she invited me to look through her microscope, 
it became something else entirely - 
alive with detail, texture, 
and depth I couldn’t have imagined before.

It made me think about leadership.

So often, leaders get used to 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒑𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒗𝒊𝒆𝒘.

Some stay 𝒕𝒐𝒐 𝒉𝒊𝒈𝒉 𝒖𝒑 - 
seeing patterns, strategy, the big picture - 
but missing the nuances that make things work.

Others stay 𝒕𝒐𝒐 𝒄𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒆 - 
immersed in every detail, but losing sight of where they’re heading.

True clarity often comes from 𝒎𝒐𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒃𝒐𝒕𝒉.

From knowing when to zoom out, and when to zoom in.
From shifting perspective - 
not just to look differently, but to understand differently.

Because whether you’re leading people, change, or yourself - 
a small change in perspective can transform how you see the 𝒘𝒉𝒐𝒍𝒆 𝒑𝒊𝒄𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆.

P.S.: When was the last time you shifted perspective and what did you see differently?

𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡-𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞 -
𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐚 𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐧’𝐭 𝐧𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐛𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬.

It often happens at the end of a demanding year.

On paper, things look fine.
But internally, the questions begin to shift:

“Is this the life I want?”
“Will next year be any different if I don’t change something now?”
“Why don’t I feel the joy I used to?”

Some leaders try to push through these questions quietly.
But there comes a moment when thinking harder stops working.

Because transitions aren’t just professional.
They are deeply personal.

Recently, a client told me:

"𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘮𝘺 𝘯𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘳𝘰𝘭𝘦 𝘺𝘦𝘵, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴, 𝘐 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧. 
𝘐𝘵 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢 𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘴𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯’𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘮𝘺 𝘧𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘮𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥."

Nothing external had changed.
But she had:

✔️ She knows what she wants and what she won’t accept anymore
✔️ She treats every conversation as progress, not pressure
✔️ She says no to misaligned opportunities without guilt
✔️ She experiences joy now, not only when the outcome arrives

This is the shift that makes the next chapter possible:
𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐚 𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐥𝐞,

They’re no longer asking: “What’s my next role?”

They’re asking: “Is the corporate path still right for me?”
Or even: “Should I build something of my own?”

This hesitation isn’t a sign of confusion.
It’s a sign of transition.

The market is saturated.
Traditional networking feels less effective.
Recruiters are overwhelmed.

Many leaders sense that the old rules of career progression no longer apply.

What often gets overlooked is this:
You don’t need to take a drastic decision.
But you do need clarity.

Clarity on your direction.
Clarity on your positioning.
Clarity on what kind of professional life you want to build next.

If you’re standing at that crossroads, you’re not alone.
And this moment can become a powerful turning point.

P.S.: What question has been on your mind about your next move?

Most leaders prepare for high-stakes moments the wrong way.

They rehearse their answers.
They refine their slides.
They memorise talking points.

They over-focus on content
and under-train their state.

But your state determines your impact -
not your script.

Because when pressure spikes, 
even strong preparation collapses:

✔️ Your posture shrinks
✔️ You talk faster
✔️ You over-explain
✔️ You sound smaller than you are
✔️ You forget examples you know perfectly well
✔️ Or you freeze - and your mind goes blank

And this shows up in:

✔️ critical presentations
✔️ interviews
✔️ board meetings
✔️ panels
✔️ strategy pitches
✔️ all the moments where people expect clarity from you

Leaders don’t lose opportunities because they lack skill.
They lose them because their nervous system isn’t trained for high-stakes situations.

And let’s be honest -
you’re facing more high-stakes moments now than ever.

If you’ve got something important coming up -
a presentation, interview, panel, negotiation, or pitch -
feel free to message me.
I’m happy to share how I support leaders to show up at their strongest.

P.S.: What helps you stay grounded when pressure rises?

If you're a senior leader, read this. ⤵️
You don’t struggle because you lack experience.
You struggle because pressure disconnects you 
from the experience you already have.

You might recognise this:

✔️ You talk faster when stakes rise
✔️ You over-explain to “prove” your value
✔️ Your posture shrinks and your presence follows
✔️ You try to “sound smart” instead of staying grounded
✔️ You forget strong examples you actually have
✔️ You default to "we" instead of "I"

This isn’t a knowledge problem.
It’s a nervous-system problem.

👉 You don’t rise to the level of your experience  -
you fall to the level of your embodiment.

In calm moments, you know exactly who you are.
The real question is:
Do you stay that person when the pressure increases?

Here are 4 techniques you can use today (save this 👇):

1️⃣ Slow your speech by ~10%
➔ Authority lives in pace, not speed.

2️⃣ Remove “I think”
➔ It quietly weakens strong ideas.

3️⃣ Mirror the question
➔ Buys 3–5 seconds to respond with clarity.

4️⃣ Box breathing (4–4–4–4) before a meeting
➔ Simple, powerful reset for your entire system.

Small shifts.
Massive difference in how you’re perceived.

But here’s what most leaders overlook ⤵️

You can’t think your way into executive presence.
You have to practice it - 
with awareness, feedback, and real-time integration.

If this resonates and you want to deepen this work, 
DM me "LEADERSHIP" and I’ll share how I support clients.

P.S.: What’s the first thing you notice in someone when they’re stressed?

Guiding Senior Leaders in New or Bigger Roles | From Pressure to Clarity, Confidence & Sustainable Growth | Executive & Leadership Coach (ICF PCC) | Ex-Fortune 500

𝑫𝒆𝒄𝒆𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓.
𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆 𝒎𝒊𝒙 𝒐𝒇 𝒂𝒄𝒄𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒆𝒙𝒉𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏.

Everyone’s sprinting to finish projects, 
close budgets, deliver results - 
all before “the holidays begin.”

And yet, for many leaders, this time of year brings something deeper than just end-of-year pressure.

Especially if you’ve stepped into a new role, led a transformation, or navigated major change this year - you may already feel like you’ve been running a marathon since January.

Now December arrives, and it’s not just the workload.

𝑰𝒕’𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒊𝒏𝒗𝒊𝒔𝒊𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒘𝒆𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒆𝒙𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔:
to wrap things up neatly,
to stay motivated,
to inspire others,
to end on a high note.

But here is what I see often in my coaching work with senior leaders:

👉 The final weeks of the year are not a test of productivity.
They’re a test of perspective.

What really needs to be finished - 
and what simply needs to be paused?

What deserves your energy - 
and what can wait until you return rested and clear?

Because clarity isn’t found by doing more.
It’s found by knowing where to stop, breathe, and reset before the next chapter begins.

If you’re already feeling the tension between “𝘐 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳” and “𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳” - you’re not alone.

This season, consider giving yourself permission to slow the pace - not as a weakness, but as leadership.

Strong leaders ends the year with clarity, not burnout.

P.S.: What helps you slow down and reconnect when everything around you speeds up?

Tatiana Rueff, leadership and career transition coach, taking a reflective pause while reading L’Art de Vivre magazine in a warm chalet setting — representing balance, clarity, and sustainable leadership for senior executives.

Many leaders won’t say this out loud, 
but I hear it often in coaching conversations:

“𝘐’𝘷𝘦 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘥… 𝘴𝘰 𝘸𝘩𝘺 𝘥𝘰 𝘐 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧?”

It’s a moment that can feel confusing and even a bit lonely.

From the outside, a promotion signals achievement.
But internally, leaders sometimes experience something very different:

– A sense of misalignment with the new expectations
– A loss of clarity about who they are as a leader
– Pressure to perform before they’ve had space to recalibrate
– A quiet question: “Did I actually want this?”

This isn’t a lack of gratitude or ambition.
It’s a natural response to rapid change.

When a role expands faster than your internal identity has time to adjust, it creates a gap - between how you’re seen and how you feel.

A gap between capability and clarity.

In these moments, leaders don’t need more drive.
They need reorientation.

Three questions often bring the clarity back:

1) What part of this role energises me?
2) What part feels out of sync with who I want to be now?
3) What support or structure would help me lead sustainably in this chapter?

If you’ve ever stepped into a bigger role and felt something was “off,” you’re not alone.

P.S.: What surprised you most about your last transition or promotion?

𝐋𝐞𝐭’𝐬 𝐛𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭 - 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞.
I often hear this from leaders who’ve worked with coaches before:

“𝘞𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘐 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯’𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨.”
“𝘐 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘭𝘰𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘧𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘰𝘰𝘭𝘴… 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩, 𝘐 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯’𝘵 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮.”

And I get it.

Coaching shouldn’t feel like another task on your to-do list -
or like a series of smart questions that never lead to real change.

The truth is, effective coaching starts where you are - 
not where a framework says you should be.

Some leaders need reflection and clarity.
Others need accountability and clear next steps.
And often, the biggest transformation comes from one small, consistent shift - not ten new models.

My approach is simple:

✔️ Meet you where you are.
✔️ Focus on what moves you forward now.
✔️ Work with you to create results you can see - 
in your clarity, confidence, and performance.

Because real coaching isn’t about asking clever questions or sharing endless tools.

It’s about enabling you to implement change that lasts - 
at the right pace, in the right way, for you.

P.S.: What's been your experience with coaching that truly made a difference?

Tatiana Rueff, Executive & Leadership Coach, smiling in a warm wooden setting — symbolizing a grounded and personal approach to leadership transformation.

Leadership doesn’t collapse under pressure -
it collapses under noise.

(And most leaders don’t realise how much noise they’re carrying.)

If you're in a senior role, the issue isn’t competence.

It’s the amount of competing demands hitting your mind at the same time.

✔️ expectations
✔️ speed
✔️ politics
✔️ self-doubt
✔️ constant context-switching
✔️ invisible emotional labour
✔️ the pressure to “appear in control”

You don’t need more information.

You need clarity -
the rarest leadership advantage today.

Because when the noise drops, everything changes:

✔️ You make decisions faster.
✔️ Your communication becomes simpler.
✔️ Your priorities become sharper.
✔️ You stop confusing responsiveness with productivity.
✔️ You stop over-explaining to compensate for uncertainty.

Most leaders don’t burn out from workload.
They burn out from carrying mental noise that no one else sees.

And clarity doesn’t come from thinking harder -
it comes from learning to filter, to focus, and to lead from a calmer internal architecture.

If you want to lead with more clarity, calm, and intention in 2026,
send me a message - I’m happy to share how I work with leaders on this.

P.S.: What’s the biggest source of “noise” for you right now?

𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩 -
but it’s also when the leaders who grow fastest quietly prepare their next leap.

Not by hustling.
Not by adding more to-do’s.

But by creating the kind of clarity that makes every decision in 2026 easier.

Here’s what I see in my coaching sessions right now:

• People don’t lack ambition - 
they lack a structure

• They know what they 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 do -  
but not what they 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 do
 
• They feel they’re “behind” - 
when in reality, they’re overwhelmed by noise

• They want a simpler path - 
not more strategies

If you want 2026 to look different, start with one shift:

👉 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬.

➤ What are you no longer willing to carry into next year?
➤ What becomes non-negotiable for you?
➤ What one outcome matters more than everything else?

This is the kind of work that transforms a year before it even begins.

If you want a simple framework to create this clarity, 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐞 𝐚 𝐃𝐌 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 “𝐅𝐎𝐂𝐔𝐒” - I’ll send it over.

But over the past weeks, 
many of you have asked me in DMs how to think through a transition - 
without rushing decisions or over-analysing everything.

So I created something you can use quietly, on your own.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞 is a short, 
reflective workbook for leaders who are:

- navigating a professional transition
- sensing that something needs to change
- or preparing their next chapter more consciously

It helps you: ⤵️

- name the transition you’re actually in
- reflect honestly on what 2025 revealed
- clarify what you want to carry forward 
- and what you’re ready to leave behind
- identify one grounded next step for 2026

This isn’t about fixing your career.

It’s about creating clarity before momentum pulls you somewhere by default.

I’m sharing the guide freely here:
 👉 https://lnkd.in/djcQTgx6

And if it opens something for you, 
you’re welcome to message me - 
even with just one sentence about where you are right now.

A recent client shared that the process gave her space for reflection, structure for growth, and practical tools she could immediately apply at work.

What I loved most about this feedback is how it captures the essence of real coaching - 

not adding more noise, but creating clarity and structure that make growth 𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑐𝑘.

Because clarity without integration changes little.
But clarity 𝑤𝑖𝑡𝘩 practice, reflection, and accountability - 
changes everything.

In today’s pace, most leaders rarely get uninterrupted space to think - 
let alone to recalibrate.

Yet that’s exactly where sustainable performance begins.

I often see my clients becoming mirrors of their managers.
They meet for a reason - 
to trigger growth in each other.

So maybe “choosing your manager” isn’t always about selecting a person or a role.

It’s about choosing:
✔️ What you want to see in them
✔️ What part of yourself you want to strengthen through that relationship
✔️ How you choose to be when things aren’t fully in your control

This 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 24𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐭 3𝐏𝐌 𝐂𝐄𝐓, I’ll be exploring this with 𝐄𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐨, 𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐡 and 𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐨 in a live episode of 𝘈 𝘓𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘔𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.

We’ll talk about:
✔️ What really makes or breaks a manager-employee dynamic
✔️ Why some of our toughest managers become our greatest teachers
✔️ And how to lead yourself - no matter who’s in charge 

Want to be part of the conversation? 
We’ll go live Monday at 3PM CET -

𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐐4 -
just as the year winds down, but expectations go up.
It’s exciting… and often overwhelming.

You’re expected to:

✔️ Prove your impact fast
✔️ Build trust and visibility
✔️ Lead while still learning the landscape

That’s a lot to navigate when you’re still finding your footing.

I’m curious - if you’ve started a new role recently (or are about to),
what’s felt most challenging so far? 👇

P.S. Did I miss something?
If you’d add another challenge that leaders face when starting a new role - share it in the comments. I’d love to hear your perspective.
