1:1 Coaching and Consulting
Set yourself on the path to extraordinary change.
Leadership doesn’t come with a manual… But it should come with a coach.
Our 1:1 Coaching and Consulting gives you space to pause, think, and get clear on what’s next for your organization.
We help you navigate challenges, make confident decisions, and show up as the kind of leader your team actually wants to follow.
Is this right for you?
1:1 coaching and consulting might be a good fit if:
You’re in a new or evolving leadership role and want to feel more confident in how you lead.
You’re navigating a tricky team dynamic or big organizational change.
You’ve hit a plateau — things are fine, but you know you’re capable of more.
You want a thought partner to help you see blind spots and make better decisions.
You’re ready to lead with more self-awareness, clarity and calm.

About your coach
Who is Alice Ko?
For the past 20+ years, I’ve worked for innovative organizations, tech startups/scaleups, agencies, non-profits, the Big 4, and corporate conglomerates. I’ve worked on every type of team imaginable - and experienced the good and the bad.
I’ve been an IC and people manager at multiple organizations so I feel your pain. Working as a new manager has a different set of challenges and you don’t always get the support you need.
How I started
I built this program for myself when I sought ways to make my management easier and my team more productive.
I even became a certified coach to improve my management skills!
That’s how I accidentally discovered my passion and skill for coaching, facilitating, and training.
So, I launched a CliftonStrengths consultancy.
Then, companies asked me to train their startup teams and new managers.
And just like that, this program was formed.
Why I love doing this
This is the program I wish I had when I started managing.
There’s nothing I love more than supporting people through one of the most challenging transitions in their professional lives.
That’s why I run small, curated group cohorts that are customized to the participants.
Everybody gets the attention they need to succeed.
This is not a webinar or lecture series. I know each manager’s name and unique challenges.
Each manager has direct access to me between sessions.
All groups are high-touch, personalized, and you’ll feel like you have personal coach on your side.
Together, we mimic the environment of a team forming trust and working through challenges together.
We learn how to create safe spaces where people share real challenges, give real feedback, and learn together.
Participants gain a new mindset with frameworks and tools to excel as people managers.
How it works
Step 1: Discovery call
We’ll learn about your goals, team dynamics and history.
→
Step 2: Custom scope of work
You’ll receive a tailored proposal outlining session formats, timelines and pricing.
→
Step 3: Coaching begins!
We guide the process, you focus on rebuilding trust and forward momentum.
Finding the right coach is like dating.
Let’s see if we’re the right fit.
