The Aligned Leader
Turn potential into performance & performance into lasting impact with executive leadership coaching.
Misaligned Leaders Drift. Aligned Leaders Accelerate.
Misalignment in leadership isn’t always loud, but it’s always costly.
It shows up in culture, in strategy and in execution. I’ve seen it in teams that drift. In results that stall. And in leaders who carry too much.
In today’s environment of relentless change and complexity, the real constraint on leadership impact isn’t capability, intellect or ambition – it’s misalignment.
When leaders are out of sync with themselves, their teams, or the organisation, energy leaks, decisions slow and potential shrinks. But when leaders align who they are with how they lead, everything changes. Identity strengthens. Impact multiplies. Influence expands.
And when alignment takes hold, everything accelerates. Clarity, confidence and conviction flow and you and your business thrives.
That’s exactly what I designed The Aligned Leader program to do – accelerate alignment where it matters most:
In your leadership.
What is The Aligned Leader Program?
The Aligned Leader is an executive leadership coaching experience that helps leaders move from intention to impact. It’s built for CEOs, executives and senior managers who want to translate self-awareness into measurable results – not just for themselves, but across their teams and organisations.
At its core, this program is about leadership alignment.
Connecting who you are with how you lead and what you’re building. Through one-to-one executive coaching, reflective frameworks and strategic action planning, leaders gain the clarity, confidence and conviction to perform at their peak while creating cultures of trust and accountability.
The result is a leader who communicates with authenticity, inspires through integrity and delivers consistent, scalable performance.
This is leadership coaching for those ready to grow beyond competence into true connection – to lead decisively, elevate their influence and create sustainable success that lasts long after the coaching ends.
Who is This Program For?
This program is for executives and leaders who are:
✓ Stretched too thin, consumed by daily demands and unable to think strategically.
✓ Creating friction, silos or dependency across teams.
✓ Struggling to delegate or let go, which is limiting bandwidth and stunting team growth.
✓ Causing bottlenecks that slow decisions and erode trust.
✓ Avoiding difficult conversations and escalating issues to HR instead of resolving them.
✓ Generating ongoing tension and friction with their peers.
✓ Not ready for the next level when the business needs them most.
Left unaddressed, these patterns quietly stall progress, weaken culture and put top talent – and enterprise value – at risk.
The More Aligned a Leader Becomes, the Greater Their Impact.
The more aligned a leader becomes, the greater their impact. As their focus shifts from awareness to activation, their alignment improves. They learn how to build clarity, conviction and confidence that ripple through the organisation.

Why Choose The Aligned Leader?
When a leader creates aligned identity, aligned strategy and aligned action, they expand what’s possible.
Identity creates ownership.
Strategy guides direction.
Action drive performance.
On their own, identity, strategy and action are useful. But when they’re treated seperately - as check the box activities, they risk being empty, vague efforts to perform leadership. When they are born from reciprocity, transformation and flow, everything changes.

About Liz
Hi, I’m Liz McMillan.
A business and executive advisor, coach, consultant and keynote speaker.
With over two decades and more than 40,000 hours in executive leadership, I’ve scaled and exited multiple seven- and eight-figure companies, led global teams and built high-value organisations from the inside out.
Along the way, I discovered something fundamental: strategy, systems and skills will take you far – but alignment is what creates lasting impact.
That’s why I do what I do today.
I work with leaders and executive teams to accelerate leadership alignment, helping them connect who they are, how they lead and what they’re building. When that happens, everything changes. Leadership feels authentic. Culture strengthens. And performance compounds.
In my executive leadership coaching work, and with the Aligned Leader Program, I bring both the strategy of a CEO and the empathy of a coach. I can walk this line because my work is grounded in lived experience, guided by purpose and fuelled by a belief that when leaders are aligned, they don’t just grow their business – they also grow their legacy..
