For senior leaders, executives, and high-performing professionals navigating growth, complexity, or change.
This 1:1 coaching engagement supports experienced and emerging leaders who are ready to lead with greater clarity, confidence, and impact. Whether you’re stepping into a bigger role, managing increased visibility, or evolving how you show up as a leader, we’ll work together to strengthen your presence, navigate complexity, and lead in a way that aligns with your values and vision.
You’ll gain deeper awareness of your leadership style, sharpen your communication, and build the strategic and relational tools needed to lead with influence in high-stakes environments while staying grounded in who you are.
For professionals ready to take the next step whether it’s a bigger role, a career transition, or a more fulfilling version of success.
This 1:1 coaching engagement is for individuals who want to grow with intention. Whether you’re aiming for a promotion, pivoting into a new field, or questioning what’s next, we’ll work together to clarify your direction and build a plan that feels aligned with your professional and personal goals.
Through values exploration, strengths discovery, and reflection on your career non-negotiables, you’ll gain deeper insight into what truly drives you and maybe identify areas that have shifted for you. Whether you’re seeking advancement, exploring a new direction, or simply seeking a career that fits better with the life you’re building, this coaching creates the clarity, confidence, and momentum to move forward with purpose.
For high-performing women preparing to return to work after maternity leave with clarity, confidence, and a plan that actually fits their life.
Returning from maternity leave is not just a logistical transition. It's a personal one. You may be stepping back into a role that has changed, navigating a new relationship with your time and energy, and wondering who you are now as a professional and as a leader.
This structured 1:1 coaching program is designed to help you return with intention rather than anxiety. Over six sessions, we'll work through the identity shifts that come with this transition, reset your expectations for the first 30 to 90 days, build a boundary and prioritisation system that works for your real life, and develop a visibility and momentum plan that will help you manage burnout.
You don't need to go back to who you were. This program helps you move forward as who you are now. Learn more.
About Me
I’m a leadership and professional development coach (ICF-certified PCC) with an MBA from INSEAD and an MA from Johns Hopkins SAIS, bringing over 15 years of experience in global finance and technology. I’ve held leadership roles and advised senior stakeholders at organizations such as Goldman Sachs, RBC, and Manulife, as well as at high-growth startups in San Francisco and London. Today, I coach executives and senior leaders across industries, helping them navigate high-stakes decisions, transitions, and complex challenges with clarity and confidence.
Throughout my career, I’ve led teams and partnered with leaders across Europe, North America, and Asia. I work with high-performing professionals at pivotal moments—whether they’re stepping into bigger roles, driving organizational change, or seeking greater alignment between their values and their work. My coaching focuses on executive presence, influential communication, navigating career crossroads, and building a sustainable rhythm between work and life.
I founded Base Pace on the belief that leadership growth shouldn’t come at the expense of wellbeing. True leadership is grounded in self-awareness, intentional action, and momentum that aligns with what matters most. I partner with clients to uncover their strengths, stretch their perspective, and move forward at a pace that’s both challenging and sustainable.
I believe coaching should be creative and fun. As a coach, I hold the coachee as naturally creative, resourceful and whole. My job as your coach is to ask thoughtful questions, listen and empower you to bring out the skills and creativity you already possess and to help you to get moving in whatever area you want to see progress, at a pace that works for you… I will help you find your base pace. If this is what you are looking for, let’s talk.

"Aliya did a great job of helping me gain clarity on what I valued in a career transition, what was holding me back, and how to move forward in my search for a meaningful career... I went into the conversation feeling stuck and overwhelmed with choice, and came out of it with a clearer view of where I want to go and the steps needed to get there. Everyone needs Aliya in their corner!"
