Rebecca Christianson | 1:1 Executive Coaching

Shift the internal dialogue that is holding you back from creating authenticity-fuelled impact?

Better understand and manage your emotional triggers?

Build sustainable momentum and be seen as the go-to for your industry without burning out?

Are you an executive or senior leader who wants to…

As an executive leader, your success should be sustainable, grounded in clarity, self-awareness, and aligned energy, not quiet exhaustion.

But leadership at this level is demanding, complex and often quietly isolating. You are expected to carry pressure, make high-stakes decisions and show up with certainty, even when the internal cost is significant and you’re starting to feel like you don’t know who you are anymore.

As your personal executive coach, I will stretch your thinking to the edge (with care and precision) to fine-tune your self-awareness, increase your self-belief sharpen your focus and expand your influence.

As you work with me, you will enter a space where you can think honestly, speak freely and become curious about the patterns shaping how you lead.

Together, we will go inward to do the deep work that most leadership development avoids; addressing the internal drivers that are negatively impacting your behaviour, decision-making and energy levels.

This is not surface-level coaching. You’re about to step into identity-level work designed to create lasting behavioural change, so you can lead with clarity, effectiveness and wellbeing and reach the level of success that feels sustainable and truly yours.

Let me give you the tools to:

Meet Your Coach: Rebecca Christianson

Want to shed your skin of uncertainty, self-doubt, exhaustion and misalignment?

If you’re looking for a coach who understands the real pressure, complexity and responsibility that come with executive leadership, you’re in the right place.

I’ve experienced the reality of leadership at the top, having held senior leadership and executive roles across the private and public sectors in Australia and Europe. That experience, combined with a background in psychology, allows me to quickly see the cognitive, emotional and behavioural patterns that see you trapped in a cycle where you find yourself performing someone else’s version of success.

As your executive coach, I bring curiosity, commercial acumen and an ability to connect with leaders navigating complexity and influence. My style is grounded but challenging and deeply human.

Let me help you see yourself and others more clearly so that the meaningful change you are currently craving becomes 100% possible.

Using evidence-based approaches from coaching and clinical psychology, neuroscience, leadership development and experience gained from working with hundreds of senior leaders and CEOs worldwide, I will support you in restoring and regulating your energy, strengthening your wellbeing, and relighting your fire as a dynamic, respected and capable senior leader.

I bring my values of curiosity, courage and authenticity to every session, with a positive approach that will finally let you feel like someone you trust is in your corner.

Your Journey

As a former executive and senior leader, I know what it’s like to walk in your shoes.

Let me take you through a deeply transformative process so you can achieve purposeful change.

Reveal your inner patterns
Identify the cognitive, emotional and behavioural patterns shaping how you lead, particularly under pressure.
Understand your triggers and stress responses
Build clarity around limiting beliefs, emotional triggers and default reactions so they no longer drive your decisions.
Cultivate self-compassion
Replace self-criticism with perspective and maturity, creating the internal safety required for sustainable leadership.
Clarify and align your values
Define what authentic leadership means for you and align your actions with your true values to increase self-trust and congruency.
Lead with grounded influence
Translate insight into consistent, intentional behaviour that strengthens presence, credibility and influence at the highest levels.

How it works

Work with an empathic and authentic coach who is experienced across every area of leadership and corporate life.

We will start with a free chemistry session to establish rapport and best fit, then discuss the current context that has led up to coaching and your potential coaching goals.
I’ll conduct a strengths psychometric assessment and a 360 review from a select group of key peers, direct reports and stakeholders to seek feedback on how you are currently applying your strengths at work.
An initial three-way review with you and your internal coaching sponsor (typically your boss) will help set your coaching goals and define measures of success. We will also hold a three-way review session to revisit and assess your goals and discuss your key learnings.
Your coaching package includes 12 hours of one-on-one coaching over 6–8 months, which equates to 8 x 1.5-hour sessions. You will identify actions to put into place between sessions to maintain your focus and momentum over time. Smaller coaching packages are available where required: Reset package (x2 sessions / 3 hours); Step Up package (x4 sessions / 6 hours).

It’s time to focus on you

My experience of working with Rebecca has been life changing and I will take the deep learnings with me into all spheres of my life moving forward. She builds instant credibility by virtue of having been an executive herself, as she understands the workplace complexities, and her psychology background means she brings an evidence-based approach. I have gained such deep self-insight that has surpassed any work I have undertaken with other executive coaches. The other coaches I worked with offered learnings and approaches that helped with the symptoms, whereas Rebecca worked with me to address the root cause of my challenges. She has role modelled that it is possible to be a high performing executive and still set boundaries with others, which is something I have struggled to do for a long time. Her observations are insightful, her honest feedback was impactful and her practical tools have enabled me to make big changes in my work and personal life. I highly recommend working with her.

– CEO - State Government

I cannot thank Rebecca enough for the executive coaching support and insights shared with me. I came to Rebecca at a time where my confidence and my enjoyment of being an executive were at an all-time low. I was unsure if coaching would be able to pull me out of the rut I was in. However, Rebecca’s coaching style and psychologically based method was extremely effective, helping me to refocus my energies to be confident and content in myself. She guided me to discover things about myself that have enabled me to increase both my contribution at the executive table and find joy again in the work that I do.=

– Executive Manager (Non-for-profit sector)

I really enjoyed working with Rebecca! The coaching process provided me with the opportunity to explore my thought processes and behavioural patterns, then change my internal dialogue, creating space for me to become a more confident and effective senior leader. The insights and challenges Rebecca provided supported a journey in which the original goals and challenges I had set for myself evolved, making the process a much more introspective personal evolution. She has led me to create a much more cohesive vision of myself and helped me see the value I bring to the workplace both now and in the future.

– Senior leader (Non-for-profit sector)

I was starting a new senior role with a company and was keen to start with my best foot forward, Bec was recommended to me through a friend. Over the last year her coaching and support has made a significant difference in my approach at work; the practical counsel has enabled me to turn around some challenging situations and relationships at work. The approach Bec takes is grounded in her deep understanding of human behaviour and I leave our sessions with not just a clear set of practical actions to help me in achieving my next goal, but also a deeper insight into myself that goes beyond the surface issues. I feel Bec has equipped me with some valuable tools & habits to deal with future situations. I can't thank her enough for the difference she has made, as I navigate the next phase of my career. I am grateful to have Bec as a coach in my corner that I can reach out to here when I need extra support for the next challenge that comes my way.

Rebecca coached me to understand how to access greater potential in my professional and personal life through an improved growth mindset. Her gentle yet insightful enquiry during our coaching sessions assisted me to understand limiting patterns in my thinking and behaviour. Working on them with Rebecca, has increased my effectiveness and influence in the workplace and helped me to become a better senior leader. Rebecca’s ability to build rapport, provide a safe coaching environment and useful resources ensured that each session was helpful and effective. As an academic in a senior leadership position, I have grown so much from Rebecca’s influence and advice.

– Senior leader (Higher education sector)

Rebecca’s coaching style supported me to identify my goals and held me accountable to follow through on the related actions. In our sessions, we delved into my deeper limiting beliefs to unlock my potential and improve my self-confidence overall. Throughout the program I have grown professionally and personally, and I highly recommend Rebecca!

Frequently Asked Questions About Coaching

Does Rebecca undertake senior leadership coaching programs for groups?

Yes Rebecca can undertake a coaching program for a cohort of senior leaders at once. This typically involves running 360 interviews for ½ a day per leader to understand how their manager, senior stakeholders, peers, direct reports and clients are experiencing them.

It also includes the leader undertaking a strengths and/or personality psychometric assessment, a debrief session to support the creation of a development program and subsequent coaching sessions.

As a coachee, what mindset do I need to bring to enhance my outcomes?

To understand yourself better and evolve as a senior leader, it is important to remain curious about the feedback you receive around your leadership style.

Knowing how other people experience you is key. As is owning your unique greatness. Learning how to better dial your strengths up and down, as required, prevents you from operating in overdrive which can negatively impact your effectiveness and wellbeing.

As your executive coach, I will create a safe space so you are supported to process feedback constructively and can experiment with new ways of thinking, and working, to help you start leading with inner alignment.
