Lead with impact, without burning out or losing your people
Too often, business decisions are driven by quarterly numbers, while people and the planet stay stuck behind glass ceilings or glossy reports. You want real change but keep hitting walls.
I help conscious leaders cut through the noise:
- More clarity → know what’s realistic and where to focus
- Less stress → clear steps, less chaos
- Lasting impact → systems that actually serve people & planet
30 minutes • no pitch, no strings • your questions first.
Why leaders work with The Thrive Arc
- They reduce churn, burnout, and drama by designing for regenerative energy, not just quarterly targets.
- They turn DEI/ESG from compliance into lived practice that compounds over time.
- They make high-stakes decisions wisely — without delaying progress.
Over the past 5 years, I’ve partnered with more than 100 executives across 30+ organizations in health, tech, and education. Together we’ve logged over 700 hours of strategic coaching and consulting.
- Coachees report less stress and clearer focus on top priorities.
- Teams show higher retention and better decision-making.
- Organizations save significant costs by reducing the drag of burnout, often covering the investment within months. Better decision-making at leadership level avoids stalled projects and costly missteps, creating value that compounds long after working together.
“Marthe helped me clarify what I really wanted in my work. Within weeks I felt confident enough to discuss this with my manager, which led to a new role that fits me so much better.” – Petra K., Operational manager accountancy.
Ways to work together
Choose the depth that fits your context, always anchored in regenerative practice.
Regenerative Transformation Partnership (1:1, 6 months)
More impact, less stress. Strategic counsel, personal coaching, and on-the-ground interventions for HR/C-level or aspiring. That might mean preparing you for a tough board conversation, reshaping a policy to reduce burnout, or building new rituals to reduce stress and strengthen leadership capacity. You’ll meet with me twice a month for deep, 75-minute sessions. Between sessions, you’ll use light reflection tools (about 1 hour) to apply insights in real time at work. At the halfway mark, we review progress and adjust direction. In the final month, we consolidate results and design your next moves so the impact continues beyond the program.
