When the work gets more human, the way forward gets less obvious.
You’ve built the product. Now you’re building the culture, and yourself.
That’s not a tactical shift. It’s a transformational one.
Whether you’re a founder navigating complexity, a CTO leveling up, or a high-performing leader tired of hitting the same relational walls, the truth is this: your biggest challenges aren’t technical anymore. They’re human. They’re systemic. And they start with you.
That’s where I come in.
What I Believe
Leadership isn’t about knowing more. It’s about seeing more.
Lasting change comes from making the subconscious conscious, from surfacing what’s actually running the show. The beliefs, habits, blind spots, and patterns that shape your leadership in ways you can’t always see. Until you do.
“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”
—Carl Jung
That’s the work. That’s the lever.
How I Work
I bring full presence and sharp focus. Clients describe me as warm, exacting, and fully engaged. I ask hard questions. I hold up the mirror. And I help you get comfortable with discomfort—not because it’s on trend, but because it’s where real growth happens.
You’ll be challenged. You’ll be supported. And you won’t be coddled.
This isn’t coaching-as-service. It’s coaching-as-partnership. I don’t waste your time or mine with surface-level work. The leaders I work with are all in. Because transformation doesn’t happen at the edge. It happens at the core.
“I wasn’t keen on working with a coach until I met Annalise. She didn’t give me answers, she helped me find the right ones for myself. Her approach to conflict, growth, and goal setting was so fluid and constructive that I not only felt better, I performed better.”
— D.P., VP of Marketing, Tech

What Sets Me Apart
I bring a rare combination of depth and precision.
I’ve spent the last decade helping technical leaders grow into the kind of leaders their teams, and lives,need. I’m formally trained as a psychotherapist, and I’ve coached inside high-growth environments from Series A startups to global companies.
My work is trusted by leaders at companies like Slack, Salesforce, LinkedIn, and Amazon because it meets them at the level where real change happens—not just performance, but identity. We surface what’s been hidden, challenge what’s outdated, and build the leadership capacity required for what’s next.
Transformation doesn’t happen by accident…
It takes clarity, challenge, and a willingness to see yourself differently. If you’re ready, I’m here.
