Executive Mentoring and Coaching
Confidential support for CEOs and senior leaders in complex, regulated environments
Leading through complexity is hard — and often isolating. You don't have to do it alone.
The Planning and Practice Hub provides confidential executive mentoring and coaching for CEOs, owners, and senior leaders working across NDIS, home care, childcare, and human services.
This is pragmatic, experience-based support for leaders carrying real responsibility, scrutiny, and pressure.
The challenge leaders bring to us
Senior leaders often come to us when they are balancing:
- Growth targets alongside operational and workforce pressure
- Governance expectations, board dynamics, and accountability
- Regulatory scrutiny and reputational risk
- People issues, change fatigue, and limited time to think clearly
When everything feels urgent, leaders lose the space to pause, test assumptions, and make high-quality decisions.
Who this is best for
This service is well suited to:
- CEOs, executive managers, and business owners
- Leaders navigating growth, restructure, or regulatory change
- Leaders under board or stakeholder pressure
- Experienced leaders who want a trusted, confidential sounding board
You don't need "motivation" — you need perspective, challenge, and clarity.

Is it confidential?
Yes. Sessions are confidential, with clear boundaries and agreed exceptions (e.g. serious safety or legal obligations).
