Executive Coaching for Leaders
Under Pressure and Uncertainty
Clarity. Confidence. Sound Judgment When It Matters Most.
Leaders today are navigating enormous challenges, both professionally and personally. Economic uncertainty, rapid technological change, shifting expectations, and increasing organizational complexity are changing not only how we work, but what is required of those who lead.
Experience and expertise remain essential, but they are no longer enough on their own.
A private conversation to explore the challenges you’re navigating, what is asking for your attention, and how our work could support you in this next chapter of leadership.
Roxanna Draddy · ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC)
“I went to see Roxanna with the idea that she would help me sort through some alternative work scenarios. I got a lot more than I bargained for. Her impact went far beyond work. My concentration and focus improved, my ability to plan improved, and I felt more settled. I don’t quite know how to describe what she does, but I can say that she is remarkable.”

“Roxanna is extremely intuitive and wonderful at digging deep to create understanding of the ‘whys’ behind things… challenging me while also supporting me along the journey.”
Eileen (Duffy) Yaralian, Managing
Partner, Chief Growth & Innovation Officer
The psychological demands of leadership are intensifying.
Leaders are being asked to rethink how work gets done while exercising judgment, building trust, and establishing accountability.
They must also remain open to perspectives that challenge their own and create the conditions for others to take ownership and contribute their best thinking.
All of this places new demands on the person behind the role.
The question is no longer only what a leader knows or can accomplish. It is also how they relate to themselves and others, how they respond under pressure, and how much complexity they can hold.
Executive coaching helps you understand what happens in those moments and develop greater choice in how you respond. Your judgment, communication, and actions reflect the leader you are capable of being.
When the pressure rises, what happens to your leadership?
You may recognize yourself in some of these situations:
Leadership Coaching
Leadership coaching helps leaders communicate with greater influence, delegate effectively, navigate conflict, and build stronger teams.
By working with real decisions, relationships, and challenges, they strengthen their ability to set direction, establish accountability, and turn priorities into action.
Developmental Coaching
Developmental coaching helps leaders recognize the assumptions and habitual patterns shaping how they lead and expand their capacity to meet greater complexity.
They develop clearer judgment, consider perspectives beyond their own, navigate competing demands, and exercise authority with greater confidence and flexibility.
Somatic Coaching
Embodied leaders have a greater awareness and understanding of how their bodies serve as instruments of leadership and direct communication.
Embodied leadership is not simply about how we carry ourselves. It is about how we inhabit ourselves while leading others.

A pragmatic approach to leadership development.
An important presentation, a strained relationship, or a decision you’re avoiding gives us something concrete to work with.
We examine both what the situation requires and what makes it difficult for you. You gain practical ways to respond while developing the underlying capacities that support lasting change.
What working together looks like
Private coaching engagements typically span three to six months. We shape the work around your leadership context and development goals.
UNDERSTANDING YOU
AND YOUR LEADERSHIP
We begin with what you’re navigating: your role, relationships, challenges, strengths, and the situations that stretch you.
Together, we identify the leadership capacities and practical changes that would make the greatest difference. Where useful and agreed, this may include assessments or feedback from colleagues.
bring the work into your day-to-day
We’ll connect your leadership development directly to your day-to-day work. Sessions focus on real situations: an upcoming conversation, an important decision, a challenge to your authority, or a pattern you’re beginning to recognize.
AWARENESS
and feedback
We review what happens as you lead differently. I offer direct observations about the patterns I notice, and we examine what is changing, what remains difficult, and where further development is needed.
Progress might mean stating your position earlier, holding a boundary through disagreement, delegating without taking the work back, or recovering more quickly after a difficult meeting.

Meet Roxanna Draddy
I’m an executive leadership coach and ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), working with executives, founders, attorneys, and senior leaders navigating greater complexity, responsibility, and change.
My approach combines practical leadership coaching with developmental and somatic work. We attend to the challenge in front of you and the patterns influencing how you meet it.
I bring careful listening, direct feedback, and a willingness to explore what may be difficult to see on your own. Our work is collaborative and grounded in your circumstances, judgment, and goals.
The aim is to expand your ability to lead with clarity, authority, and freedom—and to trust yourself more fully in the process.
