LEADRISE FOR ORGANIZATIONS
Make leadership your company’s unfair advantage
You’ve promoted great people into MANAGEMENT roles.
You’ve got senior leaders juggling COMPLEXITY across functions.
You’ve got ambitious teams trying to do more with less.
​
And now
They need real support—not just vague pep talks or one-off webinars that lead nowhere.
​
At Leadrise Coaching, we help companies grow confident, strategic, and people-smart leaders who inspire trust, drive results, and elevate the performance of everyone around them.
Through practical trainings, executive coaching, and immersive leadership experiences, we make leadership development actionable, engaging, and aligned with your organization’s goals.
HOW WE WORK WITH ORGANIZATIONS
Our trainings and workshops are designed to be engaging, practical, and tailored to your organization’s real-world challenges.
Whether it's a one-off session or part of a larger learning journey, each experience is built to spark insight, drive reflection, and support meaningful behavior change.
​
We help your leaders:
​
→ Deepen self-awareness and interpersonal agility using industry-proven tools like Lego Serious Play, DISC, StrengthsFinder, True Colors, and values-based reflection frameworks
→ Foster psychological safety and high-trust environments through the SCARF model and relational leadership techniques
→ Conduct high-quality 1:1s and conduct 360 feedback conversations that unlock performance and engagement
→ Navigate conflict and high-stakes conversations with clarity, composure, and credibility
→ Optimize their time, energy, and focus to lead strategically—not just operate reactively
→ Make the critical mindset shift from execution to leadership—stepping fully into influence, vision, and team empowerment
​
Each session integrates experiential elements—simulations, scenario-based role plays, and coaching-style debriefs—so insights are internalized and applied immediately.​
Your leaders are facing stakeholder pressure, rapid change, team dynamics, and internal friction. They need time to think—and someone they can trust to challenge, guide, and support them. That’s what we do.
​
Coaching with us helps your leaders:
→ Communicate with clarity and conviction
→ Set strategy and bring their team along
→ Navigate self-doubt and step into executive presence
→ Move from firefighting to intentional leadership
​
→ Elevate team alignment and execution to accelerate business performance at scale
​
We also run Team Coaching Pods—perfect for mid-level managers or high-potentials growing into bigger roles.
​
Every coaching journey includes:
✓ 1:1 coaching sessions (3, 6 or 12 sessions)
✓ Option to integrate tools: DISC, StrengthsFinder, SCARF, 360s, and leadership assessments
✓ Personal strategy plans tied to team or business goals
✓ Light-touch support in between sessions
This is where we roll up our sleeves and co-create something that lasts. You get a strategic partner to help you design leadership infrastructure that scales.
​

WHAT HAPPY CLIENTS ARE SAYING
K.W.
Business Owner, Real Estate Industry
We absolutely LOVED the personal branding and storytelling workshops Merve led for my team. Merve is an excellent facilitator even through video conference which we have found can sometimes be challenging. She knows how to engage the participants, get them off their seats (literally and figuratively!) and get the creative juices flowing. Both the content and the delivery were amazing. We really enjoyed the theory she shared along with the data and stats. The ice-breakers and team building exercises were sprinkled in thoughtfully to not bore the audience. We are bringing back some very interesting learnings through experience. Merve is a pro and we will be back asking for more in the future.

I. B.
Management Consultant, McKinsey
I did group coaching sessions with Merve for about 6 months. We built an excellent team and successfully completed a complex project during this time. Merve has an innate ability to ask good questions, listen intently, and drill down on areas she spots will be important in achieving the goals. She is highly energetic, inspiring, and encouraging, and has a lot of experience with teams. I really valued her blending exercises from values to strengths, from mission statement / vision identification workshops to branding / marketing brainstorming into our sessions, which were super helpful in completing our project as a well-functioning and highly productive team. Throughout the process, I discovered a lot about myself which benefited me in my job search and later in the career I chose.
