Chief Everything Officer
You are the one who has it handled. At work, at home, and usually before 8 am. You are also, most likely, already doing the job above you, without the title or the pay.
On Wednesday 9 September you will leave with three things: one tool you can use the same day, one boundary drawn around a situation you are actually in, and one thing off your plate by Friday. Nothing theoretical. Claire works with what is in the room, on the day.
Three things you can use before the week is out.
This is not an hour of theory about balance. You bring one real situation, and Claire works on it with you, live.
A tool for your next meeting
It is called the Power Pause and it takes about six seconds. You use it in the moment you are talked over, or about to say yes to something you have no room for.
What changes: you stop agreeing to things before you have had time to think. It is the tool Claire's clients come back to most.
One boundary, and the words to hold it
Not a system, and not a new way of living. One line, and language that makes it easy to keep.
What changes: the load stops defaulting to you. Claire's own boundary is simple. If she is cooking, she is not cleaning. She has held it for years.
One thing off your plate by Friday
Before the hour closes you will name it. One thing that currently runs only through you, and who else could hold it.
What changes: you notice how quickly you explain why it has to be you. That is usually the part worth looking at.
One thing goes wrong, and the whole week goes with it.
"Last Friday a client told me she had just had a great week off. Monday morning her babysitter was sick, and by 9 am she was back at her desk in what she called a complete write-off."
One person. One morning. The whole week gone. That is not a personal failing. It is what happens when a system depends on one person, and that person is you.
There is a career cost to this, and it is the part that often goes unsaid. The work you absorb is invisible. It does not appear in a review. Men are promoted on potential and women are promoted on proof, and invisible work produces no proof. So the load grows each year while the recognition stays where it was.
"What is the one thing that, if it goes wrong, takes your whole week down with it?"
Put it in the chat. Claire will read several out. The rest of the hour is spent on those, not on a hypothetical.
Three women who were carrying the same load.
Deirdre, Site Head in pharma
She came to Claire overwhelmed after a promotion, sure she had lost her grip on everything. They found the places where she was the only point of failure at work, and took her out of them. She now leads her site, speaks at conferences, and has been promoted again.
Elle, VP of Marketing
The doer of everything, at work and at home. They worked on the words she used to stop people pleasing and to hand more to her husband. She got a raise, a promotion, and started building a second home.
Jenn, business owner and USA sprinter
She was taking coaching calls at 4:30 am to keep other people happy, and it was affecting her performance. Her sleep and energy came back, she hired the support she needed, and she is still sprinting for the USA.
And one who will stay anonymous. Her win of the week was not a promotion. It was her husband doing the laundry while she went for a half hour run with her son. That is what this looks like in an ordinary week.
No one is coming to save you. You have to take the next step yourself.Claire O'Connor

Claire O'Connor
Claire coaches high performing women. Directors, VPs, site heads, partners and owners who carry a heavy load at work and at home, and are ready for a more sustainable way to lead.
She teaches this because she has lived it. Twenty one years playing camogie for Wexford, four All-Ireland titles and All-Star awards in consecutive years. Alongside it, repeated burnout through her twenties that ended in hospital, and then three and a half years of formal research into burnout among high performers.
Her approach brings together direct Irish honesty, practical tools, MBTI® insights where relevant, and steady accountability. As she often says, knowing what to do is not the same as taking the next step.
- Personal, Executive & Leadership Coach, Kingston College, Dublin
- MBTI® Certified Practitioner, with training in neuroscience and CBT approaches
- B.Ed., University of Limerick, and 20+ years teaching and facilitating
- Winner, Best Coach 2025 · Nominee, Best of Georgia 2026
Come as the Chief Everything Officer. Leave with one line drawn.
Bring the one thing that, if it goes wrong, takes your whole week down with it. That is what the hour is for, and it costs nothing.
It takes twenty seconds. First name, last name, email. Your Zoom link arrives straight away. Places are limited so the room stays small enough to work in, and cameras are optional.
If the hour is useful and you would like to keep going, Claire offers everyone in the room a first coaching call, free and with no strings. Only if it feels right do you talk about anything further. The hour itself is yours either way.
