How I Work: Shaping legacies, Elevating Impact

At the core of my philosophy is the transformative power of communication. I co-create spaces where empathy meets bravery, and conversations are deeply felt, not just spoken.

Whether you're an individual leader, leadership team, or growing organisation, my work is deeply personal, highly strategic, and tailored to where you are — and where you need to go.

Through a blend of systemic coaching and consulting, thought partnership, and leadership development, I help people awaken and attune to the intelligence within and between us. As connections deepen and grow, creativity flows and aligned action follows. Leadership becomes a practice of co-creation, courage, and aliveness.

Here's how we'll work together:

1. Assess & Awaken

We begin with deep listening, gaining a holistic understanding of your current reality and organisational culture. Using proven diagnostics, we find patterns, surface collective strengths, and map a way forward—aligning leadership growth with your shared ‘why.’
2. Reimagine & Activate

Through creating space for guided exploration, we create the conditions for leadership to flourish across your organisation. Together, we create new connections that unlock latent potential at every level—cultivating a culture where collaboration flows, decisions emerge with clarity, and momentum builds organically.
3. Embed & Evolve

Lasting change requires scaffolding - real-world practices that ground transformation into daily operations. Together, we craft the rituals, habits, and cultural anchors that turn new mindsets into everyday actions. Through small purposeful steps, we sustain momentum, ensuring you continue to grow long after our work together.

Testimonials

"Working as an international vice president in corporate affairs, I have partnered with Carissa Bub all over the world to help C-level executives, corporate principals, and emerging talent hone their voice. Through immersive, concise and intense sessions, we worked as partners to strengthen my colleagues' delivery and be at the top of their game ahead of high stakes media interviews, major presentations to press, policy leaders & shareholders. When winging it is not an option and you need your company's top talent at the top of their game, it's a reflex to seek support from the best."
