Create the right balance in a demanding life

I provide personalised coaching to leaders, business owners and professionals navigating complex responsibilities, stress, burnout, major transitions and the challenges that come with ambitious, fast-paced, full lives.

For many of the leaders and professionals I’ve coached, high performance at work was not the main problem.

Their challenge was managing the complexity of all the moving parts - work, responsibilities, change, relationships, health, ambition and future growth - while still having the ability to switch off, recover, enjoy life and deal with the curveballs along the way.

Let’s talk. A no-obligation call to explore what you want to achieve and whether we’re the right fit to work together.

Calodagh McCumiskey, leadership and wellbeing coach

My Approach

My approach was shaped by 14 years leading teams in humanitarian emergencies, where every situation was unique, pressure was intense and resources were limited. I learned to get to the heart of what was happening and focus on what would make the greatest difference.

I bring that same practical, personalised approach to coaching, taking time to understand your responsibilities, priorities and ambitions.

Together, we identify ways to reduce unhealthy stress, support your energy and recovery, and create space to think clearly. I help you gain perspective, question assumptions and recognise new options. We plan practical changes that fit your life and help you move towards your personal and professional goals while taking care of what matters to you.

Why Calodagh?

I have spent three decades working with people living and working under severe stress. Fourteen years were in international humanitarian aid, leading teams where resources were limited, pressure was intense and almost everything had to be built or rebuilt from scratch.

We supported people who had lost their homes, livelihoods, belongings - and even loved ones. The needs were relentless and the stakes were high. However exhausted or affected we were ourselves, we still had to deliver. People needed food, shelter, safety and support. Donors required proposals, reports and rigorous accountability.

That experience taught me a great deal about what people really need when life is demanding. I know how to help people identify and reduce unhealthy stress, address what is draining their energy and make room for quality recovery alongside demanding responsibilities.

One of my strengths is getting to the heart of what is really going on. I help people step back, see situations differently and find a way through problems that have felt difficult to resolve.

I help people make practical changes that reduce unhealthy stress, restore energy and strengthen their ability to perform under pressure. These changes fit demanding lives and support both their ambitions and what matters to them.
