Lead with Intention
Lead with Energy
Lead with Soul 

Executive coaching for leaders who want to lead with greater clarity, authenticity and purpose.

You already know how to do your job. You're experienced, capable and ambitious. You've built a successful career and you know how to deliver.

But sometimes, something shifts.

Maybe you've stepped into a bigger role. You're thinking about what comes next. You're returning to work after parental leave. You've reached a point where the career that once felt right doesn't quite fit in the same way. Or perhaps you simply know that something needs to change but you're not yet sure what.

What brings people to coaching

You don't need someone to tell you how to work harder, you need space to think, space to step back from the noise, to understand what matters to you now, and work out how you want to perform at your best, how you want to lead whilst not forgetting what matters outside of work. 

That's where coaching with Alma Studio comes in.

Coaching with us helps you understand what's important, make clearer decisions, protect your energy and lead in a way that feels authentic to who you are.

How can you work with us?

No two engagements look the same. Each partnership is designed intentionally around you, your priorities and desired outcomes.

What do our clients say:

“Seeing my own style clearly, including the parts I'd rather not look at. Getting deliberate about time — starting with why, and with what I actually want, rather than what's in front of me. Protecting time to think, and cutting the multitasking that was eating it. And a real change in how I work with my team: more enquiring, less telling. Pulling people in and asking what they think we should do.”

Working with Kate has been a refreshing approach to how I view problems & opportunities. I started with Kate late last year & doing so gave me space to think & challenge how I have thought before. 

I would highly recommend Kate to everyone. There were sessions that we had where I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to achieve but still came away from our conversations feeling lighter & clearer in my approach to work & life.

About the Founder - Kate O’Keeffe

I'm Kate, an executive coach, former Managing Director, and the founder of Alma Studio. Before moving into coaching, I spent nearly 20 years in digital media and marketing, most recently as Managing Director of a media agency in London, leading teams across Europe.

I know what it feels like to be ambitious, and lead at a senior level. That lived experience is at the heart of how I coach; creating a space where leaders can step back, gain clarity, and reconnect with who they are and how they want to lead.

I work with a small number of clients at any one time, ensuring every engagement receives the depth and attention it deserves.

Alma Studio

Alma means soul in Spanish & Italian, nourishing in Latin, and wise in Arabic. It is the word that holds everything this practice is built around; coaching that goes deeper than skills and strategy, it encompasses the whole person and all that they bring to leadership in their own way.
