Life coach · ICF certified · Online, worldwide
I’m Iris Calder. I help capable, busy people find the one part of life that’s pulling everything off balance, then change it, without starting over.

600+ people coached since 2014, from Lisbon to Lagos to Toronto.
Most people who come to me aren’t in crisis. On paper, things are going well. What they tell me in our first call sounds more like this:
“My calendar is full and I still feel behind.”
“Work is going well. I can’t remember the last time I felt rested.”
“Everyone relies on me, and I’m no longer sure what I want.”
“I keep saying things will calm down after this project.”
“I don’t want a whole new life. I’d like this one to fit me again.”
If one of these landed, you’re in the right place. Coaching gives you one calm hour a week to look at the whole picture, and a plan small enough to keep.

That’s usually the spoke we’d start with. A small change there tends to steady everything else.

in strategy consulting before coaching
For eleven years I advised companies on how to grow. I was good at it, and I was running on empty.
In 2013 my own wheel came off. I trained as a coach to fix myself, and found the work I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Since 2014 I’ve coached more than 600 people in 31 countries: founders, nurses, lawyers, new parents, people starting again at 35 and at 60.
I work online from Lisbon. If you’re ever passing through, we can do a session walking by the river.

“I came in wanting to quit my job. I left with the same job, four free evenings a week and my running shoes back on.”

Therapy often looks at the past and helps heal what hurts. Coaching looks at where you are now and where you want to go next, with practical steps each week. If something comes up that needs a therapist, I’ll tell you, and help you find one.
