WORKING TOGETHER
Executive Leadership Coaching (1:1)
A 6- or 12-month focused partnership with C-level executives, VPs, and executive directors.
This is a trusted space to work through challenges you can’t process with your team.
What’s included:
- Kickoff and goal-setting session (75 min)
- Ongoing coaching (2–4 sessions per month)
- CliftonStrengths or Enneagram assessment + session (60 min)
- Email support between sessions
360 feedback interviews and board/staff retreat facilitation are available for org-sponsored engagements.
In our sessions, we:
– Work through real situations + experiences as they’re happening
– Get clear on what matters and what doesn’t
– Prepare for conversations that carry the most weight
– Map stakeholder dynamics so you can move with intention
– Build your capacity to function well under pressure
Results from working with me:
This is not generic leadership coaching.
✅ My somatic executive leadership approach:
-
Gets to the root of challenges quickly and without force
-
Builds real, embodied presence you and others can feel
-
Works at the level of who you are, not just what you do
-
Expands your nervous system's capacity to handle stress
-
Prevents burnout and addresses survival patterns at their source
-
Integrates a systemic, as well as mind-body, lens into coaching
❌ Generic leadership coaching:
-
Adds more frameworks on top of pressure, instead of working underneath it
-
Trains executive presence as "fake it til you make it"
-
Frames burnout as a time-management problem
-
Minimizes the systemic and political realities shaping leadership
Meet Caitlin Clarke, CHP, CPIC
I’m an executive leadership coach who works with CEOs, founders, and senior leaders to turn insight into lasting change in how they live and lead. My work is grounded in a simple belief: change only becomes sustainable when it’s embodied.
Deeply trained in somatic (body-based) psychology, I help leaders translate what they know intellectually into the behaviors, decisions, and ways of relating that shape their daily lives and leadership. The result is change that holds up in the complexity and pressure of real life, with ripple effects across their teams and organizations.
Before coaching, I spent 20 years inside scrappy startups and fast-growing organizations in San Francisco. I’ve advised CEOs and senior leaders; built business units, strategy and systems; and made decisions that impacted thousands of people. I bring that operating experience together with a deep reverence for the human inside the role to help leaders create change that sticks.
"About a year into my role as Executive Director, I was fearful, overwhelmed, under constant pressure, and unable to embrace vulnerability and authenticity with my team...
Through working with Caitlin, I was able to get to the psychological and physical roots of that pressure, lifting a huge weight off my shoulders. I’m now approaching my work from a place of trust in myself and in my team. I can discern what’s truly urgent without guilt, and am more confident in my ability to lead well.
The impacts of working with Caitlin are evident in my organization: delegation with my leadership team is easier and more effective, and we’re sharing responsibilities and operating with greater trust and grace. I feel supported instead of threatened.
I appreciate Caitlin’s attentiveness to the nuances and sticky aspects of my struggles. I’d recommend her to anyone navigating the complexity of leadership roles—juggling the many levels of responsibility leadership demands is hard! Caitlin brings the joy back to it."
