A coaching Journey that lasts

Your coaching experience follows our Signature Model placing wellbeing at the centre and moving through three powerful steps:

Is This Coaching Right for You?

If you’re a midlife professional or leader ready to reset, refocus, or redefine what success looks like, coaching with Wellbeing by Design is designed for you.

We start by strengthening your Foundations of Thriving Leadership – focusing on wellbeing, mental fitness, and leadership capability to prepare you for sustainable growth.

Then, your personalised coaching journey moves through our Signature Model:

Self

We begin within – building your inner resilience, mindset, and emotional agility. Coaching here supports professionals navigating change, recovering from burnout, or seeking deeper alignment between personal wellbeing and professional purpose.

Structure

Next, we co-dreate the habits, systems, and environments that allow you to grow consistently. This is where emerging and midlife leaders strengthen their leadership presence, navigate transitions like menopause or mid-career change, and build strategies to lead with clarity and confidence.

Sustainability

Finally, we embed wellbeing practices that ensure your growth lasts. Coaching at this stage supports professionals who want to prevent burnout, future-proof their wellbeing, and lead with strength and authenticity — now and into the future.
