Strategic Coaching for Leaders & Founders
Building Calm, Clarity & Confidence
Personalised One-to-One Support
For leaders and founders who want to grow with intention—strengthening strategic thinking, emotional intelligence, and decision-making under pressure. Offering clarity and confidence for founders exploring business venture feasibility and navigating early-stage growth.
What Strategic Coaching Is (And Why It Works)
Strategic Coaching is an active, outcome-driven approach designed to accelerate clarity, confidence, and capability.
Unlike passive coaching, this method blends applied psychology, strategic problem-solving, leadership development, and behavioural change to help you understand what drives your choices—then transform how you respond.
You’ll uncover the cognitive and emotional patterns influencing your decisions, reshape unhelpful habits, and build practical strategies that support consistent, confident action.
This approach draws on internationally recognised coaching standards, the IMPACCT Outcomes model, Quantum Clarity Matrix, and a range of tools, giving you a structured pathway to clarity, direction, and sustainable performance.

Coaching Different?
At Ikonix Business Solutions, Strategic Coaching integrates:
Applied psychology and emotional regulation
Strategic HR and leadership capability development
Business coaching for focus, scale, and momentum
Cognitive agility and decision-making frameworks
Advanced behavioural change techniques
This isn’t reflective conversation for its own sake. It is intentional, structured, and future-focused, helping you create real change, not temporary motivation. You gain more than insight; you gain a clear way forward.

If You’re Ready for Growth, This Is for You

Leaders navigating complex decisions, people challenges, or communication demands

✔ Cognitive agility that supports better thinking and communication

When Patterns Keep You Stuck
You know the signs:
Stress that appears before you’ve processed the situation.
Thoughts that spiral.
Anxiety that amplifies risk.
The sense that everything feels personal—even when it isn’t.
These aren’t flaws.
They’re patterns—and patterns can change.
Strategic Coaching helps you understand what’s happening beneath the surface, recalibrate your assessment of risk and threat, and respond from clarity rather than automatic reaction.
When you break old loops, you reclaim choice, confidence, and calm.
Lead with Impact
Better questions. Braver conversations. Stronger teams.
Leadership today demands presence, emotional intelligence, and the ability to hold purposeful conversations—even when they’re uncomfortable.
This is the kind of growth that reshapes how you think, lead, and make decisions—creating lasting change that carries forward into every part of your life and business.
Through practical tools and real-world application, you’ll strengthen:
structured communication
emotionally intelligent leadership
reflective thinking
team clarity and ownership
resilience and adaptability
This is leadership that inspires, supports growth, and builds trust
Understanding Stress: What Leaders Often Miss
Stress rarely appears out of nowhere. It builds through patterns—thoughts, habits, and emotional responses that trigger faster than logic can keep up.
In this Brainz Magazine article, Sharon Banfield, the founder, explores how leaders process stress, why the nervous system can misinterpret pressure as threat, and how to interrupt unhelpful reactions before they escalate.
You’ll learn practical, research-informed strategies to regain clarity, shift your internal state, and lead with steadier, calmer intent.
“I felt genuinely supported throughout the coaching process. Sharon listened carefully, asked thoughtful questions, and helped me explore my values, assumptions, and priorities. The sessions created the space I needed to build my own awareness, evaluate the personal, practical, and financial viability of becoming an entrepreneur, and gain clarity on what mattered most. I left the sessions with confidence, a clear direction, and actionable next steps. Thank you for your coaching support.”
