ONE-TO-ONE EXECUTIVE COACHING·FIRST-TIME CEOs
The CEO Accelerator.
Twelve months of coaching for the CEO who’s done the diagnostic and the Scaling CEO Plan, and is ready for the real work.
Two formats·1:1 with Sophie·UK and EU
Who I take into this.
First-time CEOs of 100-to-200-person businesses. Mid-scale-up, mid-shift. Usually sales or commercial background. Almost always carrying a target that is materially bigger than the one that got them this job.
If you’ve taken the Scaling CEO Plan and we both know it’s a fit, the Accelerator is where the work compounds. The £497 you paid for the Plan credits in full against the price below, provided you join inside fourteen days of the call.
And if you’re reading this without having done the Plan first, that’s fine too. The booking link at the bottom of this page sets that up.
Two ways to take it.
Same coaching depth. Different commitment. Pick the one that fits the shift you’re in.

How the work runs.
- 01
Eradicate the blind spots.
The first three months are about what you’re not seeing in how you operate. We surface the patterns reinforcing the frustration you’ve been carrying. Most CEOs name two or three within the first session that they hadn’t put into words before.
- 02
Map the systems.
Family, team, internal. Where the real change lives. Where your behaviour is reinforcing the thing you’re complaining about. The diagnostic, the 360 and the team coaching all live here.
- 03
Generate new outcomes.
New behaviours. New decisions. A new version of you in the role, without becoming someone else in the process.
“Working with Sophie has been a genuinely valuable step-change. She combines real psychological safety with the right level of stretch. Supportive, direct, and unafraid to challenge my thinking when it matters. Her ‘killer devil’s advocate’ questions are becoming legendary.”
Ian Talbot, CEO, Healix Health
“Sophie’s approach to navigating dilemmas and overcoming challenges is remarkably refreshing and unconventional. She embodies a rare blend of warmth, insight, and a willingness to push boundaries.”
Ilan Saguy, Founder / CXO / NED
“Provocative, challenging, honest and directional. If you are willing to learn then I cannot imagine a better guide for your journey.”
Josh Hill, Operations Director, PET-Xi
“I haven’t sat in the chair you’re in. I’m not an ex-CEO and I won’t pretend to be one. What I bring is fifteen years in commercial leadership, an accredited coaching practice, and pattern recognition from coaching CEOs through exactly this shift. If you want someone to tell you what to do, I’m not your person. If you want someone to help you see what you’re not seeing, this is the work.”

If this is landing, the next step is the call.
The Scaling CEO Plan is a paid 90-minute conversation. You leave with a written plan tying your three mission-critical priorities to the behaviour shifts that actually move them. The full £497 credits to the Accelerator if you join inside fourteen days.
