Real-World Leadership Coaching for Executives, Leaders, and Founders who are Ready to Find Clarity, Build a Plan, and Lead with Purpose.
You need clarity, a plan, and the confidence to deliver it.
Success on paper doesn't always feel like success in reality. Yes, it’s possible to be high-performing and still feel lost.
You might be carrying the weight of the business alone, or perhaps your role has outgrown your current skills. You know you are capable of more, but the path forward isn’t clear. And you’re exhausted trying to figure it out by yourself.
One Feather Coaching offers a partnership grounded in lived experience, not just theory. We provide the structure and the straight-talking support you need to stop spinning your wheels and start making progress.
Whether you need executive and leadership coaching or a strategy for your business, we help you define where you are going and how to get there, so you can lead with genuine confidence.
Who we Work with
Our clients are ambitious professionals who have hit a ceiling. You are likely a senior leader, operational director, or founder who wants to stop reacting to problems and start driving growth.
You're likely:
A Senior Executive
You are in the C-suite (CEO, COO, MD) and feel the pressure of the "lonely at the top" reality. You need a sounding board who understands high-stakes environments.
A Functional Director
You lead Operations, Facilities, or Logistics. You handle budgets and people, but you need support to think more strategically.
An "Accidental" Leader
You stepped up to help the business, but now you feel out of your depth. You are looking for leadership development programmes that give you practical tools, not just textbooks.
A Growth-Focused Entrepreneur
You are ready for the next phase of business growth but need a clear plan to make it happen securely.
Does it feel like you’re running just to stand still?
You are Stuck in the Operational Weeds
• You spend your days firefighting and fixing other people's problems.
• You have zero headspace to think about the future or your own career.
• You feel resentful, exhausted, and worried that the strategic side of your role is slipping away.
Leadership Fatigue
• Your team relies on you for everything because you haven't laid the groundwork for them to step up. • You are absorbed by the daily grind.
• You ‘ve lost your spark for leadership and dread Monday mornings.
You Lack a Clear Roadmap
• You don’t know what your next step is, or how to get there.
• You fear you have plateaued while everyone else is moving forward.
• You feel a quiet, nagging anxiety that you are "winging it" and might get found out.
The Skills Gap
• Your role has evolved, but your toolkit hasn't kept up.
• You are facing new challenges (hybrid teams, AI, talent shortages) without support.
• You feel exposed and unsure, damaging your authority.
You Feel Isolated at the Top
• You can’t share your doubts with your team or your boss.
• You are carrying the emotional load of the business alone.
• Your confidence has taken a hit, and you keep second-guessing your decisions.
What if you woke up knowing exactly what you needed to do?
You become the leader you know you can be. You have a plan that you trust and the capability to deliver it.
Your external success finally matches your internal confidence.
You are operating at a higher level, making better decisions, and creating a legacy that lasts.
Complete Clarity
You know your values, your strengths, and exactly where you are heading next. No more guessing. You lead in a way that feels true to you, not like you are playing a character.
A Concrete Plan
You have a roadmap with milestones. You are no longer reacting; you are executing a strategy. You can see the difference—in your bottom line, your promotion prospects, or your team's performance.
Reclaim Your Time
You are out of the weeds. You have space to think, strategise, and actually switch off at home. You are driving the business or your career forward with intention.
Total Confidence
You trust your decisions again. You stop worrying about being "found out" because you know you are capable. You are seen as a credible, influential leader who brings out the best in others.
How We Can Help
Our mission is simple: to help you find your direction and rise with purpose.
We don’t do fluffy conversations. We combine professional coaching with decades of lived leadership experience at senior and board level to help you achieve real results. We support leaders to clear the fog, set meaningful goals, and move forward with confidence. Working in partnership, we ensure you understand who you are, what you want, and exactly how to get there.
Our Services
Executive Coaching

A structured development programme focused on self-awareness, communication, and practical management skills. We provide the tools and frameworks you need to lead teams effectively, along with notes and accountability after every session.

You cut through the noise and understand exactly what to focus on to grow. You gain a roadmap that stabilizes the business, allowing you to step back from the daily firefighting. This is management training applied directly to your own company.
Real Results from Leaders
The sessions were extremely helpful to realign my personal strategy and realise capabilities, they were also a lot of fun.
The organic approach and agile manner of the sessions meant that we could deal with actual issues and work on real-time challenges as opposed to a formalised structure that may or may not hit the mark.
I can highly recommend and thank you for an incredible journey.
L Hills
Louisa sets excellent guidelines for the executive coaching program, I find that it helps me maintain focus, stay accountable for my aims and she makes you feel like your journey is shared.
What I particularly benefit from is Louisa's attention and ability to ask the right questions to prompt self-reflection.
With Louisa's guidance I am 100% confident that I will succeed in my business.
D Rhodes
Louisa has created an environment where I can talk through my challenges, see them for other angles and support me in creating solutions or devising action plans to move things forward.
Highly recommend having her in your corner.
O Boote
I have had a really tough couple of weeks at work and I started questioning everything I did and lost all my confidence.
It’s hard being at the top because there isn’t anyone to look upwards to for guidance and advice, but being able to have the privilege of using a coach allows me to work through situations.
I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders, and I have come into work this morning feeling more positive and ready to stop looking back and move forward—with, of course, that "chair" in eyesight. Thank you.
Anon
Louisa has been a complete game changer for me and I would recommend her coaching/mentorship to everyone.
This isn’t an off the shelf programme, it’s relevant, bespoke and designed to get the absolute best out of you.
If you can find a single human who can return better ROI than this lady I’d be very surprised.
One of the best decisions I’ve made commercially, a great investment.

FAQs
Do I really need a coach?
Even the best athletes have coaches. If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unable to see the wood for the trees, executive coaching services provide the objective perspective and expertise you need to break through the plateau.
How much time does this take?
We know you are busy. That is why our sessions are focused and efficient. Typically, we meet twice a month for 60–90 minutes. The real work happens in the shifts you make between sessions, but it is designed to fit into a senior leader's schedule.
What is the return on investment (ROI)?
Investments in leadership development training often pay for themselves through better decision-making, retained talent, and business growth. We focus on measurable goals so you can see the tangible impact of our work together.
Is this just for CEOs?
No. While we specialise in C-suite and founders, we also offer management training programs for operational leaders, regional directors, and those stepping up into their first big leadership roles.
Can you help with my business strategy too?
Yes. Our Business Coaching blends pure coaching with consultancy. Because, we have served as senior level directors with P&L responsibility, we can help you map out a strategic business plan as well as support your personal leadership.
Is it confidential?
100%. One Feather Coaching is a safe, private space. Whether you are self-funding or your company is paying, what we discuss remains between us. We subscribe to the EMCC ethical code of conduct.
Your Partner in Growth
I’m Louisa Clarke, the founder of One Feather Coaching.
I built this practice on a simple belief: coaching should be grounded in real-world leadership experience.
Like me, our coaches are carefully selected for their senior leadership backgrounds, having led teams, managed complexity, and held accountability at board and executive level.
This isn’t learning taken from textbooks; it’s insight shaped by making tough decisions when the pressure is on.
We work in partnership with you to create absolute clarity around who you are, what you want, and the actions that will move you forward. Our mission is simple: to help you find your direction and rise with purpose.
One Feather Coaching exists because leadership can be isolating. I know what it feels like to look successful on paper while carrying the weight in private.
That’s why we offer more than coaching alone. This is a trusted partnership with people who have been there, helping you make clear decisions, take confident action, and move forward with intent.
