“Everything is fine,”
you chirp as you suck down your fourth coffee of the day and rearrange your schedule to put yourself last… again.
As a lifelong high achiever, you’re used to stress. Maybe you even get compliments on your ability to juggle dozens of balls — from intense, complex work projects to your never-ending home and family to-do list.
At work, you’re painfully aware that you’re not showing up as the calm and capable leader you know you could be. You’re impatient, distracted, frustrated. You’re not communicating the way you want to… and when one of those balls inevitably gets dropped, you’re the one who chases it down the hallway and picks it up.
Even worse, one of your team members isn’t performing — but having that conversation right now on top of everything else?
Not gonna happen.
In the rare moments when you have twenty-seven minutes of downtime, you grab a treat from the fridge and collapse on the couch to enjoy a *single speck* of dopamine. (This routine isn’t healthy, and you can feel it. On the flip side, finding time to work out seems more impossible than magically getting that underperforming team member to do their job.)
You dimly remember you used to have hobbies. You used to have free time. You used to be really THERE and present with your family. These days, even when you do technically have time to relax, you just can’t seem to do it. Your phone is never more than a few inches from your face, and your brain won’t stop churning.
Sometimes you daydream about leaving your job. But you love your work. And you suspect it’s not really your job that’s the problem. Stress, overwhelm, and overwork are everywhere — and they’ll follow you for the rest of your career if you don’t address them now.
Let’s uncover the evolved leader in you and create the freedom you need to be crystal-clear on your purpose, fulfilled by your work, and truly joyful in your life.
Believe it or not, this is gonna be fun!

❝ Daphne knows her stuff when it comes to leadership. She is real and empathetic. When you work with her, you can't get enough, I know I can't! Her approach is direct, engaging and more times than not, funny. She truly makes learning fun! The responses from our leadership team have been overwhelmingly positive, you won't regret any second listening to what she has to say and then, applying it. She is helping transform our managers into leaders and coaches. ❞

❝ Daphne's coaching in group and individual settings has had a great impact on my personal development, relationships and interactions in so many ways over the past two years. I recommend Daphne's work as a Leadership Coach or Corporate Facilitator very highly. ❞

Manager Inpatient Rehab Services, Virginia Mason Medical Center
"In a very short time, Daphne was able to establish a rapport with our senior management team that enabled an environment of trust and openness. With this context in place, she taught us the principles of conscious leadership within a participative rather than conceptual framework; translating them into ways of being that are now inculcated into our everyday practices.
Daphne's 'all-in' commitment combined with her ever-present vulnerability inspired us to take action in areas where we were being mediocre due to everyday dysfunctional behaviour. I would unhesitatingly say that our relationships at the senior management level have been transformed as a result of her time spent with us.”
Peter M.
“Daphne has a way of cutting straight to the thing that matters most that leaves you feeling a sense of clarity and a lightness as if you’ve just set down a heavy weight you didn’t realize you were carrying. Her coaching has taught me how to hold sincerity and levity equally and has led to discernment in both my personal and professional life that I can be proud of.”

How to get everything you want at work
(and at home, too)
Earnest Feelings Alert! I believe that within each of us resides an evolved leader. These inner leaders live in alignment with authentic power, clear vision, and inspired joy. (They also delegate with ease, hire and fire with confidence, and don’t wake up all gross and sweaty to check their email at 3AM.)
In our work together, we’ll uncover the evolved leader in you. This process of discovery is usually a mix of practical tools, honest self-work, and me lovingly calling you on your BS. We’ll figure out what’s most important to you, identify weak spots in your leadership, and solve those problems so you actually feel great about work.
As a leader for many years myself, my approach is energetic, grounded, and focused.
My work with overworked, burned-out leaders often looks like:
I promise you really can have everything you want.
(You just can’t have EVERYTHING.)

The book also equips you with new transactional skills that will not only improve your leadership and time management capabilities, but help you address real-world challenges in a pragmatic and direct way. You’ll be prepared to lead with far less stress than before and a newfound sense of well-being.
