For high-achieving individuals looking for "more"

Most people never give themselves the space to ask what they truly want. Yet, that clarity changes everything—your motivation, your confidence, your impact, and the direction of your life. I help high-achieving individuals step out of the noise, face what matters most, and move forward with more clear and compelling vision for their next chapter.

The Ideal Client

Who is this for:

My ideal client is someone who has spent most of their life attacking their goals through hard work and determination—and succeeding.But they’re starting to hit a wall. Something about their way of working, their priorities, their beliefs, or the direction of their life no longer feels quite right.

Many have already tried to make changes—moving cities, switching roles, setting new goals—to resolve that feeling. And yet the underlying misalignment, anxious striving, or lack of engagement is still there.They don’t need more discipline or a change in scenery. They need clarity about how they've changed—and what comes next.

The Outcomes

What clients leave with:

After working with me, clients gain clarity about the beliefs and work habits that helped them succeed over the last decade—but no longer fit who they are becoming. They examine whether the goals they’ve been pursuing are still the right ones.With space to think more deeply and without constraints, clients reimagine different versions of their life and work that they feel genuinely excited about.From there, clients assess what might need to change to move toward that vision. For some, that means pursuing new roles that better match their values. For others, it means reshaping their current work so it feels more aligned and meaningful.The result is renewed motivation, stronger boundaries, greater confidence, and a clearer sense that they are moving in the right direction again.

The Process

How Coaching Works:

Over the course of 8 one-hour coaching sessions our work together will unfold in four steps:
Reflect → Clarify → Explore → Move forward

  1. Reflect on your current situation, how you got here, and what isn't working.

  2. Clarify what matters most and define what success actually looks like for you.

  3. Explore options and experiment with different possible futures.

  4. Move forward intentionally with a clear life vision and a path to get there.

Artifacts

Much of the transformation comes from the thinking we do together—but clients also leave with tangible outputs they can continue using afterward.

  1. A structured audit of their energy, engagement, and life satisfaction across the areas that matter most

  2. A 3–5 year vivid vision document that clarifies what they want their life and work to look like going forward

  3. A set of concrete hypotheses to test about what changes will move them meaningfully closer to that vision

The Coach

About me:

Hi, I’m Brigitte McAuliff. I’m a published psychology researcher and a certified Life Design coach.However, I’ve spent the last decade of my life building products at technology companies. And what I learned was that companies like Amazon and Google understand people and their needs first, before designing solutions. And this is the same way we should design our lives—through deep reflection and experimentation.Today, I bring these disciplines together in my coaching—using tools like user interviews, experimentation, and road-mapping so clients leave with conviction, excitement, and a clear path forward.

FAQs

Everything you need to know

If you're considering Eremos Coaching, you probably have questions. Below are the most commonly asked questions by prospective clients and Brigitte's honest answers:

Think about professional sports, for instance. Professional sports coaches most often have never played the sport at as high of a level as the players they coach. They are experts in coaching, in understanding individuals, their unique needs, how to motivate them, and how to help them make progress towards their goals. The coaches job is to help the athlete determine (a) where they are at currently, (b) where they want to go, (c) what's in their way, and (d) what steps they need to take. And then coaches must motivate and hold them accountable to getting where they want to go.

  1. Therapy is focused on diagnosing mental health conditions and using proven interventions to achieve healing for the individual.
  2. Counseling often deals with specific, non-clinical issues the client is facing and wants to overcome. Counseling interventions typically involve listening to the client and then providing counsel (i.e., advice). Counseling relies primarily on the quality of advice a practitioner can provide.
  3. Coaching can also deal with non-clinical life issues, but also tends to attract clients who want to grow, not just cope. Coaching interventions typically involve empowering the client with a framework for self-awareness, personal development, and accountability.
  4. The difference between counseling and coaching is primarily found in the methodology of helping clients with these non-clinical issues and personal aspirations.
