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.

5 things leaders need to know about feelings
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
"Leave your emotions at the door."
"Emotions aren't for the workplace."
"I know how to suppress my emotions."
"I'm not concerned about how you feel. Just about what you do."
Ever thought these sentences? Said them? Heard them?
We've come a long way to discover that feelings and emotions have a much bigger role to play in our decisions and actions. (The research shows 95% of our decisions are based on feelings).
And understanding feelings gives leaders an edge if they want to know how to influence their team, build an inclusive organisation and sell better products.
Listen to hear 5 things every leader should know about feelings.
