Strategy Consulting for Senior Executives in Sydney & Across Australia

You lead a complex organisation.
You’re responsible for direction, performance, influence and outcomes.
Yet finding the time – and the headspace – to define your strategy or refine your strategic thinking is nearly impossible.

Most senior executives don’t struggle with leadership.
They struggle with distilling complexity  into one clear, compelling strategic narrative.

That’s where GAIA Coaching’s Strategy Consulting steps in.

We partner with CEOs, COOs, Directors, General Managers and Heads of Strategy who want clarity, structure and strategic confidence – without the noise, overwhelm or endless slide decks.

Expect to be challenged.
Expect to be supported.
Expect to think sharper than ever before.

Our strategy consulting and advisory methodology combines ambition with deep, consciousness-led action to make huge transformations in your organisation a reality within weeks.

What is Strategy Consulting?

Strategy Consulting is a highly tailored blend of strategic thinking, executive coaching and management consulting – designed to help senior leaders define where they are heading and how they will get there.

Unlike traditional consulting, this is not about producing a 40-page strategy deck.
It is about sharpening your thinking, simplifying complexity and turning your expertise into a clear, actionable strategic direction.

Many senior executives excel at decision-making, negotiation, influence and delivery – but translating all of that into a crisp, concise strategy is often the hardest and most time-consuming part.

This is where our approach is different:
We combine coaching insight with consulting discipline to help you cut through noise, challenge assumptions and get to the heart of your strategy quickly.

A One-Page Strategy You Can Actually Use

At the end of our work together, you won’t receive a bulky presentation.
You will leave with a grounded, visual, executive-quality one-page strategy that captures:

your strategic vision
focus areas & priorities
opportunities & risks
key metrics & measures of success
the narrative behind the strategy – the “why” that creates alignment

This concise one-pager becomes a powerful tool to present to your board, leadership team or stakeholders.
It aligns your organisation, accelerates execution and turns clarity into momentum.

Crafting this one-pager is an art form – and helping leaders get there is one of Susanne’s favourite things to do.

Why Strategy Consulting Matters Now

Today’s environment – especially across Sydney’s infrastructure, technology, consulting, finance and engineering sectors – demands more from leaders:

rapid change

shifting priorities

stakeholder pressure for clarity

organisational dependence on strong direction

limited time for deep strategic work

Strategic drift happens fast. A clear, grounded strategy ensures your organisation moves forward with purpose, alignment and confidence.

How Strategy Consulting Works

Our engagement is structured, collaborative and outcome-driven.
Together, we work through a proven strategic process:

Vision & Strategic Intent

Define what the future looks like and how you intend to lead it.

Challenge & Elevate Thinking

Sharpen assumptions. Surface blind spots. Gain perspective that accelerates clarity.

Strategic Architecture

Define strategic pillars, priorities, interdependencies, risks and measures of success.

One-Page Strategy

Synthesis of the entire process into a clean, visual, executive-level one-pager.

Executive Alignment

Support in communicating and aligning your board, leadership team or stakeholder group.

Execution Roadmap

Translate the strategy into a 12-month success plan, then break it down into a practical 90-day implementation plan with owners and milestones.

Who This Is For?

Strategy Consulting is ideal for senior leaders who:

carry significant strategic responsibility

want clarity but lack time or headspace to create it

operate in fast-changing, high-complexity environments

need a succinct, powerful strategy to align teams and stakeholders

prefer grounded thinking, not generic frameworks

value partnership, challenge and strategic thought leadership

If you want to think better, lead stronger and communicate strategy with precision, this service is for you.

What You Achieve

By the end of your Strategy Consulting engagement, you will have:

A clear, compelling vision for your domain or organisation

A one-page strategy that leaders instantly understand

Thinking that is  challenged, sharpened and distilled into what truly matters

Strategic clarity that creates organisational momentum

Alignment across your executive team and key stakeholders

A practical roadmap to move from intent to execution with confidence

This is strategy you can action – not strategy that gathers dust.

About Your Strategy Coach–Consultant

Susanne is an Executive, Career and Business Coach with a strong foundation in Strategic Management Consulting. She brings a rare blend of structure, clarity and conscious leadership to every engagement, helping senior executives think sharper, lead stronger and communicate with precision.

With extensive experience working alongside senior leaders, directors and high-performing teams across complex industries – including infrastructure, engineering, finance, technology and professional services – she understands the realities of executive life: heavy workloads, competing priorities and the constant pressure to make sound strategic decisions.

What she has observed again and again is this:
Leaders don’t need more slides or more complexity – they need clarity.

This is where she excels.

Susanne integrates three core capabilities into her Strategy Consulting approach:

Strategic Clarity through a Consulting Lens

Having begun her career in management consulting, Susanne naturally thinks in patterns, frameworks and strategic logic. She distils complexity into a clear strategic narrative and helps leaders articulate strategies that are both compelling and practical.

Deep Coaching Expertise

As a Master Executive Coach, she challenges assumptions, surfaces blind spots and elevates strategic thinking. Her approach is collaborative, reflective and intentionally designed to help leaders access insights they rarely have time to uncover on their own.

Conscious Leadership Focus

Susanne ensures strategy aligns with the human side of leadership. She integrates values, communication and influence into the strategic process so leaders not only define the direction – they bring people with them.

Together, these three disciplines create something powerful:
A succinct, executive-level, one-page strategy that captures a leader’s vision and gives the entire organisation clarity.

Grounded. Clear. Strategic.
A strategy leaders can communicate, implement and stand behind with confidence.

I found Susanne to have an extraordinary way of helping me towards making progress in my new business by way of clarifying goals, identifying obstacles and insecurities and looking at strengths and successes. A loving, practical, no nonsense approach.
