Staying Upright in the Storm
Resilience Coaching for Leaders Navigating Personal Crisis
Service Description
Leadership doesn’t pause when life falls apart. You still need to show up — even when betrayal, illness, grief, burnout, or family crisis quietly shakes your world. But who supports you as you navigate the storm? Staying Upright in the Storm is a bespoke resilience coaching service grounded in Maria’s signature A–Z Leadership approach to guide through every dimension of personal upheaval. This is not generic coaching. It’s not just about powering through or “managing stress.” We draw on the full emotional spectrum — from Anger to Zen, from Betrayal to Resilience, from Vulnerability to Renewal — so you can navigate your storm with clarity, grace, and expanded strength. We move through five core phases, supported by the A–Z wisdom map: Honest Mapping — Seeing what’s real, fresh supportive eyes Stabilising & Triage — Holding what matters most, strengths, what can be controlled Inner Repair — Turning grief, shame, anger, fear, heartbreak to hope and self-compassion Leadership Integrity — Sense making, your story & authenticity Sustainable Rebuild — A wiser, multi-dimensional leader, with reset energy for life. What You’ll Gain: ✅ Clarity on what matters most ✅ Tools to stabilize under pressure ✅ Emotional repair & deep integration ✅ Authentic leadership presence, even in the storm ✅ A meaningful, sustainable reset that expands your capacity to lead and serve others Your healing matters — but it’s not just about you. When a leader recovers, re-centers, and rises, they lift the people around them: families, teams, organisations, communities. Your resilience ripples outward.
