Independent. Impartial. Confidential.—Supporting organisations across Australia and internationally for over 20 years

For CEOs and Executive Leaders

When the organisational chart cannot fit it.

Discreet, independent counsel for senior leaders carrying conduct, culture and conflict risk.

There are conversations you cannot have inside the organisation. A senior leader whose behaviour is becoming a liability. A culture issue that the usual channels are too close to. A board question that wants an outside view before it lands on the agenda. EquipMe Coaching & Consulting is built for those conversations.

When CEOs work with us

Senior leader conduct

When the behaviour of someone in your top team is no longer something you can defer. We provide an independent, confidential lens, coaching where there’s a path, structured exit where there isn’t.

Culture in the C-suite

Executive teams that have stopped functioning as a team. We facilitate the conversations that the team can’t hold on its own and build the muscle to hold them next time without us.

An outside view for the board

When the chair or audit & risk committee wants an independent culture review, written for governance, scoped tightly, delivered with discretion.

When the next conversation could be career-defining

Confidential coaching for CEOs and senior executives navigating a moment that doesn’t yet have a clear path. Sometimes the work is one conversation. Sometimes it’s a relationship across years.

Why CEOs trust us with these conversations

Independence

We have no internal politics to navigate, no HR career to protect.

Discretion

Confidentiality protocols modelled on the International Ombuds Association’s professional standards.

Standing
