ZeroPoint for Leaders
Executive coaching for women taking on what's next
For the next role, the harder conversation, the bigger room, and the audacity to claim it on your terms.
Hi, I’m Ainsley
You're already leading at a high level. Already accomplished, trusted and delivering. You’re like the one who gets called when something complicated needs solving.
But you've come to a point where leading well isn't quite the question anymore. There's a decision you need to make or a transition you're navigating. A bigger role you're moving into or a version of yourself you're being asked to bring to the room.
My role is to think with you when your own thinking has stopped working, to challenge what you've stopped questioning, and to bring perspective from inside the rooms you're navigating. Sometimes that means asking the question that unlocks something. Sometimes it means sharing a framework that gives you a way to see the situation differently. Sometimes it means telling you what I'm noticing and letting you decide what to do with it. The work is yours. I help you see it more clearly and hold you to what you decide.
"Ainsley helped me find my voice and turn my big, sometimes paralyzing ideas into smaller, actionable steps. The way I approach my career, my relationships, and my life has transformed."

For Women Navigating What’s Next
You're not lost, you're navigating. This work is about helping cement the right direction, my bet is your instincts are already pointing at it. This work is about claiming what you already see, and moving with the clarity that doesn't second-guess itself in the room.
When Clarity Gets Clouded
My APPROACH
Inside the Work
The work is led by you. Where you want to go, what you want to look at, what you're ready to name — that sets the agenda.
My job is to ask the questions that help you see what you're too close to see, and to hold you to what you said you wanted when you're tempted to drift past it.
What I bring
Twenty-five years of commercial leadership across four continents.
When it would serve you, I'll offer perspective from inside that experience. If you're open to it, I'll share what I'm seeing or how I'd think about it.
Mind-body and nervous system awareness.
Leadership at this level lives in your body as much as in your thinking. The decisions you're making, the rooms you're stepping into, the visibility you're claiming, are all shaped by what your nervous system is doing. Cognitive insight alone rarely shifts the patterns actually holding you back.
Tools & Workshops That Support Real Change
Practical Insight. Real Change
Lumina Spark & Lumina Sales Assessments
I use Lumina Spark and Lumina Sales in 1:1 coaching engagements to build the kind of self-awareness that translates directly to how you lead, sell, and show up in the rooms that matter. It gives you language for who you are at your most natural, who you become under pressure, and how to read and adjust to the people around you.
Lumina supports:
→ Speed reading others and adjusting how you show up
→ Language for what energises and depletes you
→ Clearer communication under pressure
→ Insight you can use in your week
Team Workshops & Leadership Labs
For teams ready to reconnect, realign, and lead with more coherence. I design and facilitate workshops built around what your team actually needs rather than a fixed methodology.
Formats include:
→ Team Clarity Labs — reconnect around purpose, values, and ways of working
→ Leadership Workshops — strengthen communication and accountability
→ Culture & Collaboration Sessions — build shared language and trust
Each workshop is tailored to your context and designed to move teams from insight to action.
What Becomes Possible
When the work lands, what changes is concrete.
You walk away with:
→ Confidence in how you describe yourself and your leadership
→ Consistency between your values, decisions, and behaviour
→ Walking into rooms with the answer to why you are the right person, not why you might be
→ Conversations you've been avoiding, had
→ Faster, more decisive leadership that others can follow
→ The ability to lead from who you actually are, not who you think you should be
You stop performing leadership, and start leading from somewhere that holds up under pressure.

FAQ
Questions
worth asking
What's the difference between executive coaching and leadership development programs?
Leadership development programs build skills across a group. Executive coaching works at the individual level, on identity, presence, decision-making and the specific leadership challenges you’re actually facing right now. Most programs teach you frameworks. Coaching helps you figure out which ones are true for you and how to lead from that place with conviction.
For senior women leaders who’ve already done the programs and know the frameworks, coaching is often where the real shift happens. The knowledge was never the missing piece. The story just hadn’t caught up yet.
How do I know if I need 1:1 coaching or if my team needs a leadership workshop?
The simplest way to think about it: if the challenge lives inside you, start with coaching. If the challenge lives between people, start with a workshop.
If something has shifted in how you lead, how you feel about your leadership, or how clearly you can articulate your own direction, 1:1 coaching is the right starting point. That’s identity and presence work, and it happens at the individual level.
If the challenge is relational, teams pulling in different directions, communication breaking down, a shared purpose nobody can quite articulate — a Team Clarity Lab or Lumina workshop is where to begin. That’s alignment work, and it happens between people.
In practice many leaders do both, and the sequence matters. You can’t align a team around a story you haven’t found yet.
How long does executive coaching take and what does the process actually look like?
Most 1:1 coaching engagements run 3 months with bi-weekly sessions, though 6 and 12 month engagements are available for leaders who want to go deeper or sustain the work over time. Every engagement includes a Lumina Spark or Lumina Sales assessment to create a shared language for how you lead, communicate and show up under pressure.
Sessions are structured but not rigid. The work goes where it needs to go. Most clients notice a shift in how they show up within the first few weeks. By the end of a full engagement the changes tend to be tangible — clearer decision-making, stronger leadership presence, a more confident and consistent voice, and a much sharper sense of where they’re going and why.
Team workshops run from 90 minutes to a full day depending on what the team needs. Every workshop is designed around your specific context, not a generic off-the-shelf program.
What does executive coaching with ZenZero cost?
Coaching is a significant investment, and the right fit matters more than the price point. Engagements vary based on scope, length, and whether the work is individual or organisational.
The best starting point is a conversation. If it’s not the right fit financially or otherwise, I’ll tell you, and where I can, point you toward something that might be.
Stay Connected.
Love to keep you in the loop.
