Your Executive Coach | Terez Rijkenberg
Welcome to Your Executive Coach.
This is the podcast for C-suite leaders, people about to be C-suite leaders and anyone aspiring to lead at a senior level who who are done pretending everything is fine, while quietly carrying too much.
We’ll talk about what actually makes leadership work when the stakes are high:
clear thinking under pressure, cleaner decisions, stronger conversations, teams that stop escalating everything back to you, and success that doesn’t cost you your health or home life.
I’m Terez Rijkenberg. Executive coach, former Chief People Officer, MBA graduate, and the creator of the RAFT® Formula and Radical Adaptability™. I’ve coached 100+ senior leaders across FTSE 100, private equity-backed, and high-growth organisations.
If you want useful psychology, practical strategy, and the occasional line that makes you laugh and then rethink your week… press play.

4 Steps That'll Help You Make Tough Decisions
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most things in life and work are just decisions.
You'll know as a leader, as you grow, as your team grows, as your organization grows, your time becomes more valuable, and there is more of a pull on your time to various new opportunities.
But even in that growth, we only have 24 hours a day like everyone else.
You still only have a set number of working hours in a day, and what that means is that with these new opportunities and growth comes more opportunities to make decisions about the trade-offs.
When there are projects or products or tasks or habits, or perhaps even people that you might be considering letting go of, you can use these steps to help you make that tough decision.
