EXECUTIVE AND LEADERSHIP COACHING

Today is where what’s next begins.
One small step at a time.

As seen in the New York Times

Modern-day parenthood and ambition don’t come with a manual.

The reality is, navigating career and family is challenging. One moment you’re thriving at work, the next you’re picking up a sick child from school and wondering if this is really the right time for a big change or the ultimate cue that something needs to shift. If you’ve ever thought, Am I in the right job? Is this sustainable? Can I really do both? you’re not alone. Change can feel overwhelming, but your next big decision might be your best one yet.

Coaching is for you if:

  • You’re questioning whether your current role or career path is still the right fit.
  • You want to get promoted and succeed in your next role.
  • You feel like you’re constantly juggling deadlines and family logistics with little space for yourself.
  • You’ve been putting off a career decision because the timing never feels right.
  • You want to succeed at work and feel present at home, without guilt on either end.
  • You’re ready to be proactive in your choices, instead of reacting to what others decide for you.
  • You know you’re ready for change.

If any of these sound like you, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Coaching can give you the clarity, support, and confidence to move forward.

Claudia brings a unique combination of coaching credentials, consulting expertise, and the perspective of a working parent. This was an invaluable mix as I contemplated my next career move. After working with her, I felt confident to pursue opportunities outside of my comfort zone to grow my career. Claudia has a natural ability to help you recognize your potential and guide you toward it. Her support was instrumental in boosting my confidence and clarifying my priorities as a new mom.

Meet Your Coach

Hi, I’m Claudia Timmermans. I am a mom of two, an attorney, and a certified coach with more than a decade of experience at one of the largest professional services organizations.

After a coast to coast move, parenting through a pandemic, and navigating my own career transitions, I came to understand just how demanding these shifts can be.

That insight led me to coaching. I trained with the Co Active Training Institute to become a Certified Co Active Coach (CPCC) and earned my ACC accreditation through the International Coaching Federation (ICF). Today, I bring together both professional and personal experience with rigorous training to help ambitious parents and professionals design careers and family lives that truly feel good, whether that means a promotion, a career change, a pivot, or the unknown in between.

Claudia is a wonderful coach. As a perfectionist, a mom of two, and a founder often pulled in many directions, I can sometimes find myself stuck in dilemmas. In my conversations with Claudia, I consistently get to the core of an issue. She asks exactly the right questions, bringing clarity to my thoughts. I feel both supported and challenged. After a session, I leave with the sense that I’ve truly understood the dilemma. Empowering me to make decisions with confidence or simply experience more peace of mind. To me, that’s worth its weight in gold.
