Our executive coaching services unlock exceptional team performance and leadership excellence at this pivotal life stage. By embracing modern neurological and psychological insights of midlife, we guide teams to achieve unprecedented results.
Embark with Aramyss on this transformative journey to redefine team leadership.
In my 40s, I experienced firsthand the challenges of dismantling silos and fostering team cohesion.
Despite striving for operational excellence, true synergy always seemed just out of reach, leaving a lingering sense of untapped potential. I faced key questions:
How to instill a company-wide mindset in teams accustomed to regional successes?
Why is fostering collective ownership beyond individual roles so challenging?
How can transformational change be inspired for sustainable success?
Now in my 60s, I help senior executives unlock new energy and potential.
With a background spanning several continents and industries, I bring a global perspective, combining leadership models from experts like Jim Collins, Patrick Lencioni, Robert Kegan, and Richard Barrett with real-world, cross-cultural experiences.
While these models offer valuable frameworks, they often miss the unique opportunities in life’s later stages, particularly the refined leadership that naturally emerges.
Midlife’s changes — physiological, neurological, and parental — represent a perfect storm for developing exceptional leaders characterized by a blend of humility, resolve, and an adaptive mindset.

Aneace quite literally re-created our company! The relentless focus on product, revenue, growth... had blinded us to the fact that our amazing people had built the best asset of all, a great team. People, team, culture are now the #1 focus areas at TSC. Aneace showed us the path, regularly steers us along the way and we view him not just as a key advisor but as part of the DNA of our company.

Aneace is a wonderful coach to work with and I can highly recommend working with him if you have a chance. I really enjoyed our sessions especially as he has been an executive himself before and therefore draws from rich personal experience - and has a few good battle stories to share. The other thing that stood out for me was his consistent ability to help me uncover possible solutions myself by him asking the right questions.
