Executive Coaching for High-Achieving Women and the Organizations That Value Them

I provide transformative coaching for high-achieving women for organizations committed to developing their top talent.

For the ambitious, driven, and high-achieving woman. I see you. You've built an impressive career. You're the go-to person, the problem solver, the one who makes it happen. Yet something feels missing. Something isn’t working for you the way it used to.

You're successful by so many societal and professional measures, but might be privately questioning:

  • Is this path truly aligned with who I am and what I want?

  • Why does success still feel hollow despite my achievements?

  • How can I lead authentically & do my best work, without burning out?

The hidden costs of high achievement are real:

  • The exhausting pursuit of perfection that once propelled your career now feels like it might be holding you hostage

  • Your worth has become tangled with your productivity, performance and how much you can get done

  • That nagging disconnect between external success and internal fulfillment & a sense of self and purpose

Individual Coaching

I help high-achieving women in law and corporate environments quiet the self-doubt, own their unique value and voice, and lead with confidence—without second-guessing every decision or sacrificing their wellbeing.

Together, we'll create practical strategies to:

  • Take back control of your time and energy through effective, practical boundaries that can be flexed without the guilt

  • Let go of the maladaptive parts of perfectionism while maintaining excellence and leaning into the positive aspects of perfectionism (perfectionism isn’t all bad!)

  • Align your professional path with what truly matters to you & where you want to invest your energy moving forward

  • Quiet your inner critic and build lasting conviction & confidence

  • Work and lead from a place of authentic strength and a strong sense of self

  • Go beyond surface solutions to address the thinking patterns, beliefs, decisions and habits that are keeping you stretched thin and stuck

If you want to feel differently, you have to be willing to do something differently. You have more power than you know to make anything happen for yourself.

For Organizations

Smart organizations know that developing women leaders isn't just about retention—it's about unleashing their full potential.

My executive coaching programs (one-on-one & group coaching programs) help you:

  • Invest in and retain your top talent by providing an opportunity for meaningful career and personal growth, and address head-on the factors resulting in turnover

  • Equip women leaders with tools to shift their mindset to shift feelings of “perfectionism” and “imposter syndrome” into more confidence, decisive action, and authentic leadership presence.

  • Create cultures where women can advance and work at the highest level without sacrificing their wellbeing and burning out

  • Strengthen leadership capabilities that drive innovation, sustainable performance, collaboration, and strategic influence & impact.

Still trying to decide if coaching is right for you?

Don’t just take my word for it. See what my clients say about how coaching has impacted their lives…

  • My sessions with Arivee helped me realize my optimal career path. Arivee's coaching approach was compassionate, impartial, and committed to achieving tangible goals. I realized that what I sought was not external but within myself. I could only uncover it through her approach of guiding me in dedicated introspection and challenging me with her questions. As an attorney, I was often constrained by conventional protocols. However, after my coaching sessions with Arivee, I felt inspired to challenge and reevaluate those norms in my professional and personal life. I have now integrated my professional and personal aspirations, leading me to a more fulfilling path forward. - D.H.

  • Coaching with Arivee opened my eyes to all possibilities— and made me see ALL possibilities as within reach. I was clearly the strong bridge to the possibilities of my wildest dreams. Arivee has a gift for asking very targeted questions that allow you to see the facts (and truths) of your accomplishments, strengths, and what you perceive to be roadblocks— so that those roadblocks can clear away to get you ready for taking off to those wildest dreams. - M.S.

  • Battling against mental fog (maintaining clarity) brought me to Arivee. A newly minted professional, my intuitive instincts seemed to be at odds with the culture and examples of success at my first job. The people pleaser in me wanted to oblige and do everything necessary to succeed, but this, I came to realize through our conversations, was inherently at odds with my deeply entrenched desire to live life freely and set necessary boundaries. Arivee is more than just a brilliant sounding board and dynamic personality, her thoughtful coaching approach makes me instantly comfortable.

    I am most thankful for her introducing me to gratitude practice. It has dramatically shifted my mood and allows me to remain steadily grounded during 2020's turbulent times and beyond. - M.C.

  • I was really feeling stuck about where I should go with my career, should I stay or should I leave my current role and if I chose to leave what would I even do. I really love the job I have but worried about being stifled from getting to the next level and how much I had invested over the years that was maybe taking away from the life I had/could have had outside of work. A big question I had was what time, if any, would be the right time to make a leap and how would I know it's the right thing to do/I'd enjoy a new job as much as I love the one I am in.

    The big a-ha moment for me was learning about some of the traits I had and how those traits not only impacted me professionally (what would be the jobs that made me tick if I chose to leave) but how they played a role in my life personally. I often think of those things now both at work but also at home and it's really helped me understand the things that are important to me and that make me feel good about things both at work and outside of work. - J.B.

  • When I sought out Arivee, I was struggling to balance all of my goals and interests. I was overwhelmed and not accomplishing anything because I lacked clarity and focus. I kept thinking myself in circles. Arivee not only helped me to see the truth I had deep down inside me, but helped me write my own permission slip. Working with Arivee helped me realize that I was letting fears hold me back and wasn’t standing in my truth. The clarity she helped me achieve allowed me to feel excited about and confident in moving forward with creating the life I have been dreaming for myself. - Ali C.

  • I’ve thrived and am proud to say I have maintained my boundaries and continued to strengthen them. Notably, I am much more comfortable saying no and keeping my peace as I silently maintain the boundaries I have set for myself. Thank you again for the impact you made on my professional and personal life.

    - H.H.
