Executive and Leadership Coaching
The Higher You Climb, the Lonelier It Gets
Nobody tells you that part.
They talk about the success, the title, the team you’ll lead. They don’t talk about the 2am spirals, the isolation of being the one everyone looks to, or the creeping suspicion that the version of yourself who got here might not be the version you actually want to be.
Fleeting Clarity
Alice is the kind of leader people write case studies about. Decisive. Visionary. The person in every room who somehow makes everyone feel like the smartest version of themselves.
Behind closed doors, she hasn’t slept well in months. She’s been saying yes to everything because she’s afraid of what happens if she slows down. Her team is thriving. Her marriage is fraying at the edges. And she has absolutely no idea how to talk about any of it — because leaders aren’t supposed to need help.
Except they do. The best ones especially.
This isn’t therapy. It’s strategy with depth.
I’m Dr. Kit Sluys — a psychologist and leadership coach who works with executives and senior leaders across healthcare, tech, financial services, and high-growth companies. My coaching is available virtually, so geography is never a barrier.
What I bring to the table is unusual: the psychological training to understand why smart, capable people get stuck, combined with a practical, no-fluff approach to getting them unstuck.
We’ll work on the stuff that actually drives performance — your relationship to power, fear, ambition, and the people you lead. Because the inner game and the outer game are never as separate as we’d like them to be.
Leaders come to me when:
- They’ve just stepped into a bigger role and need to get their footing fast.
- They’re performing well by every external measure but feel hollow inside.
- They’re stuck in a pattern they can’t seem to think their way out of.
- They’re ready for the next level and want someone to help them build the bridge.
What working together looks like
No personality assessments that collect dust. No generic frameworks. Just direct, honest, occasionally uncomfortable conversation — and a clear path forward.
My clients leave with more than insight. They leave with the ability to lead from a place that’s actually sustainable.
You’ve invested in your career. Invest in the person running it.

What We Work On
Leadership doesn’t happen in a vacuum. The way you show up in the boardroom is connected to the way you show up everywhere else — and the most effective leaders know that.
Depending on where you are and what you need, our work together might touch on:
How you lead and communicate. You have a vision. Getting others to see it, believe it, and move toward it with you is a different skill — one that can always be sharpened. We’ll work on how you show up with your team, how you navigate conflict, and how you build the kind of trust that makes people want to follow you.
Your relationships. The dynamics you play out at work didn’t start there. Understanding what drives your behavior with the people closest to you — partners, family, colleagues — is often the unlock that changes everything professionally and personally.
Your health and energy. You can’t lead well when you’re running on empty, and you know it. We’ll get honest about what’s actually sustainable and build something you can maintain — not just survive.
Your relationship with money. High earners can have surprisingly complicated feelings about money. Whether it’s how you negotiate, how you spend, or the quiet anxiety underneath a healthy income, we’ll untangle it so you’re making decisions from confidence instead of old stories.
Nothing here is siloed. It’s all connected — and that’s exactly how we’ll treat it.
The only thing holding you back is you. You can change that today.
