Stuck in a toxic work culture or silent burnout?
Career coaching for leaders, quiet high-achievers, and the ones holding it all together.
Dear Burned-Out High Achiever,
You’ve worked hard to get where you are. You’ve done the right things, met the deadlines, and kept the team running when no one else would step up.
On paper, your career looks fine. But inside? You’re exhausted. Frustrated. Wondering if this is all there is.
Maybe you’re struggling with:
– A toxic boss or a chaotic team that drains your energy
– Feeling invisible in leadership meetings, even when you know your stuff
– Second-guessing yourself when it’s time to take up space
– Working harder and harder, but still feeling like it’s not enough
– Wondering if it’s time to leave or if you could actually build something better where you are
I spent 16+ years in leadership roles in tech and startups. I know how lonely it feels to be the one everyone relies on, but no one really sees.
Career coaching with me isn’t about polishing your LinkedIn profile or hyping yourself up. It’s about finding clarity in what you actually want — and the courage to go after it.
Let’s help you thrive in a way that’s real and sustainable. Book a chemistry session.
“Working with Ikey as my coach was truly eye-opening and saved me from heading down a career path that wouldn't have made me happy in the long run. I'm so glad I had her guidance and truly thankful for her capability of elevating other human beings."

What I Bring to the Table
I spent 16+ years in tech leadership, building remote teams, leading through chaos, and creating work environments where people could finally breathe.
I know the pressure of being the calm one in the storm, and the cost it can take on your mind, your energy, and your relationships.
I’ve been where you are.
— Trying to hold it all together while doubting myself behind the scenes.
— Learning the hard way how to set boundaries without burning bridges.
— Discovering what real leadership looks like when you’re done pretending to have it all figured out.
Now, as a trauma-informed, relational coach, I combine practical leadership experience with deep inner work.
I draw from:
— Relational Life Therapy (RLT)
— Parts work & inner child work
— Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
To help you build:
✔ Resilience that doesn’t require perfection
✔ Boundaries that hold
✔ And relationships — at work and in life — that feel honest and real.
This isn’t fluffy leadership coaching.
It’s real, sometimes uncomfortable work — and it changes how you lead and how you live.
