Executive coaching for newly promoted leaders
You've been promoted. Maybe you're leading the team you used to sit in, or you've stepped into a senior role where the stakes and the politics are higher. Most people get the title without the training. Claire Adamou coaches newly promoted leaders, one-to-one and online or in person, to lead with confidence and intention from the start.

Why Claire
Claire spent more than 20 years in leadership, mainly in iGaming, and rose from affiliate manager to executive. She has been the newly promoted leader herself. She now judges industry awards, mentors women for Global Gaming Women, and speaks at ICE Barcelona and iGB L!VE on leadership, burnout and resilience.
How it works
Claire doesn't tell you what to do. She helps you think differently, challenges the beliefs holding you back, and builds a practical action plan with you. Coaching is one-to-one, online or in person, and starts with a free 30-minute intro call.
Client stories
Since I began talking with Claire, I’ve felt my confidence and self-belief gradually returning. She has helped me recognise the strength I have within myself, understand my own value and, perhaps most importantly, realise that it’s perfectly normal to feel the way I sometimes do about my career, family and relationships.
Claire has a wonderful way of making me feel heard, understood and never judged. She creates an environment where I feel completely comfortable being open and honest, even when discussing things I might otherwise struggle to put into words.
I genuinely look forward to our online meetings. Our conversations are frank, honest and thought-provoking, but there’s always room for laughter too and the odd swear depending on the topic! I value her perspective and advice, and I appreciate how she helps me look at things differently without ever making me feel that my feelings are wrong.
I always come away from our conversations feeling lighter, more hopeful and with a renewed sense of confidence and determination. She reminds me to believe in myself, recognise what I have to offer and, above all, stop being so hard on myself.
I’m incredibly grateful for the positive influence Claire has had on me. She’s helping me rediscover a version of myself that I think I’d lost sight of for a while.
