EXECUTIVE COACHING · FACILITATION · LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
Above the inversion, leaders see clearly.
Most leaders I work with aren’t struggling because they lack ability. They’re struggling because something is distorting their view. Of themselves. Of what’s possible. Of who they’re becoming. They’re operating inside the cloud layer. Under the inversion.
My work is about helping them rise above the inversion. Into the clarity where real development happens.
“The most important work happens not in solving the problem, but in seeing it clearly”
— MAYA HARRIS, inversion LeadershipA temperature inversion is a meteorological phenomenon where a layer of warm air sits above cooler air below — trapping everything beneath it.
Below the inversion, cloud, limited visibility, the grey weight of not being able to see clearly.
Above the inversion, sharp air, open sky, the world laid out below you.
Leaders in complex organizations experience something similar.
Too close to the noise, the politics, the day-to-day — they lose the altitude to lead. The work of Inversion Leadership is to help them find the line, and get above it.
This is high-challenge, precise coaching and facilitation for leaders who already know a lot — and need a trusted partner to help them see what they can't from where they stand.
WHO I SERVE
Where do you recognize yourself?
INDIVIDUALS
The leader at the edge
You’ve been given the role. You’re not sure you’ve caught up with it yet.
— Closing the gap between title and self belief
— Managing reactivity when the stakes feel high
— Leading with presence, not just authority
— Leading others without losing yourself
The accomplished but adrift
You’ve hit the markers. The voice telling you it’s not enough hasn’t stopped.
— Understanding why achievement hasn’t settled the doubt
— Separating your worth from what you produce
— Reconnecting with what you actually want, not what looks right
— Building something that’s genuinely yours
The one who doesn’t fit the mould
You’ve earned your place. You’re tired of feeling like you don’t belong.
— Reconnecting with who you are underneath the adaptations
— Building resilience that doesn’t require you to shrink
— Showing up authentically without bracing for the cost
— Creating belonging for yourself, not just for everyone around you
ORGANIZATIONS
Investing in your people
Your high performers are capable of more. They know it too.
— Providing coaching that develops and retains the people worth keeping
— Supporting leaders through the moments that define their trajectory
— Investing in talent that doesn’t yet see its own potential
— Building leadership confidence that outlasts the engagement
Bringing leadership development to life
You have the vision. You need someone who can make it land in the room.
— Facilitating leadership sessions that create genuine shifts, not just good feedback scores
— Co-creating specific experiences that fit your learning portfolio without derailing it
— Bringing energy, safety and challenge to the moments that matter most
— Leaving people somewhere they wouldn’t have reached on their own
About Maya
I spent the last decade as a learning portfolio manager and Master Faculty at McKinsey & Company — creating and delivering leadership programs for some of the most capable professionals in the world. I know what it looks like when talented people are performing well but not quite thriving — and I know the difference a good conversation can make.
I left to do the work I care about most. Coaching leaders who are capable of more than they currently believe. Facilitating rooms where something real happens. Building with organisations who take their people seriously.
Inversion Leadership exists because the most powerful shifts I've witnessed — in others and in myself — have come from turning the question around. Not "what do I need to do differently" but "who do I need to become to see clearly."
WHAT I OFFER
Work designed to bring the confidence and clarity that stepping above brings
01
Executive & Leadership Coaching
One-to-one coaching for leaders navigating complexity — a new role, a strategic inflection point or the quieter challenge of leading differently.
Grounded in ontological methodology and a shared commitment that new insight isn’t enough. Instead we co-design specific practices that embed changes in behavior so new ways of being become accessible under pressure, not just in learning spaces.
02
Facilitation & Learning Programs
Delivery of leadership development programs from personal leadership and values through to team dynamics, feedback, problem-solving and more. I can bring engagement to sessions of your design, or co-create experiences that meet your needs as an organization.
I create environments where people feel genuinely safe and then use that safety to guide them somewhere they wouldn’t have gone alone.
HOW I WORK
Every engagement is different — because you are.
But the shape is usually the same.
No agenda, no pitch, no commitment. Just an honest exploration of where you are and whether I’m the right person to help.
1
We start with a conversation.
We figure out what’s needed.
2
Sometimes that’s coaching over several months. Sometimes it’s a single session, workshop or something we create together from scratch.
I bring full presence, genuine challenge, and a deep commitment to your growth rather than my methodology.
3
We do the work.
We reflect on what’s shifted.
4
An honest look at what’s changed, what’s still in motion, and what comes next.
