C-Suite Leadership Team Coaching
We help seasoned executives evolve naturally into high-performing teams by leveraging emerging insights into the cognitive, emotional, and resilience advantages of midlife—the last uncharted territory in adult development.
Why Midlife Matters in Leadership
Traditional leadership programs frequently overlook midlife, missing the unique opportunities it presents for profound personal and professional growth. Our C-suite team coaching approach is designed to leverage the wisdom, resilience, and neuroplastic advancements characteristic of this life stage.
By harnessing the specific changes—both physiological and neurological—that occur during midlife, we facilitate the development of leadership teams that are not only effective but are also marked by humility, resolve, and adaptability. This enables the natural emergence of the team's collective best self.
What’s in a Name?
Our name, Aramyss, blends the strategic prowess, charisma, and wisdom of the legendary Musketeer Aramis, with the courage to explore a deep, uncharted abyss—a metaphor for unlocking outstanding leadership characteristics with boldness and joy.
Our approach reflects this mix, turning midlife’s challenges and opportunities into tools for crafting leadership teams characterized by humility, grit, and adaptability.
As the team naturally, organically evolves into its collective best self, each milestone becomes a celebration of progress and unity.

Chief Product Officer, Grab
Aneace is a wonderful coach to work with and I can highly recommend working with him if you have a chance. I really enjoyed our sessions especially as he has been an executive himself before and therefore draws from rich personal experience - and has a few good battle stories to share. The other thing that stood out for me was his consistent ability to help me uncover possible solutions myself by him asking the right questions.
