The manager stepping up
A larger role, a wider scope, people who used to be peers. You are building legitimacy and presence at the same time as delivering — and the two pull in opposite directions.
Leadership transitionConfidential executive coaching in Mauritius Clarity for the person everyone else depends on.
I work privately with founders, CEOs and executives stepping into bigger roles — so that the weight of the decision stops being something you carry alone.

“Working with Maya was a turning point.”
Chief ExecutiveWhy leaders choose Maya Rabbat as their executive coach
20+ years of experience
Corporate management and coaching international managers: I know the pressure you describe from the inside.
Selective engagements
A strictly limited number of leaders at any one time, so every partnership stays deep and personal.
Multicultural practice
Leaders based in Mauritius, Africa, Europe and the Middle East. Sessions in English and in French.
Absolute confidentiality
Nothing you say leaves the room. That is the foundation everything else is built on.
Three moments when leaders call me.
You do not need to be in crisis to need a thinking partner. Most of the leaders I work with are performing well — and carrying something they cannot put down.
The founder in hyper-growth
The company is scaling faster than the team around you. Executive relationships shift, stakeholders multiply, and personal balance is the first thing to give way.
Scaling pressureThe CEO carrying it alone
Every decision ends with you. There is no peer group to test an idea on, and no safe place to say that you are tired. Success and depletion sit side by side.
Isolation at the topWhy leaders keep coming back.
- Over 20 years inside organisationsI managed teams under real commercial pressure before coaching managers around the world.
- Strategic and human at onceBusiness clarity and psychological depth in the same conversation, rather than one or the other.
- Multicultural fluencyShaping leadership impact across very different cultures, in English and in French.
- A partner, not an audienceDirect, compassionate feedback. I name the pattern you cannot see from the inside.
- Built for high achieversNo generic motivation. A confidential space to think out loud and leave with decisions made.
Simple, private, and entirely on your terms.
A first conversation
We talk through what you are navigating right now. No preparation, no commitment — you leave knowing whether this is the right space for you.
A partnership shaped around you
Rhythm, focus and format are set together. Some leaders want a regular anchor; others want intensity around one decisive period.
Change that holds
We work until the shift is visible to the people around you — in how you decide, how you show up, and what you no longer carry alone.
Concrete shifts, not abstract concepts.
Excellence without exhaustion
Keep your edge and your results without paying for them with your health or your clarity.
Calm inside ambiguity
The internal stability to decide sharply when the environment is undefined or moving fast.
The weight shared
A space where you do not have to manage anyone else's reaction to what you are feeling.
Command without force
Align stakeholders and handle difficult dynamics with grounded, natural authority.
Stepping fully into the role
Embody expanded responsibility with legitimacy and confidence, not borrowed posture.
Less reactivity, more intentionality
Pause before responding, choose your battles, and protect the relationships that matter.
What clients say about coaching with Maya Rabbat
She helped me step away from a life defined by duty and obligation and reconnect with something I had long forgotten — the right to simply live well and be at peace with myself.
Chief Executive
I became significantly more self-aware, gaining a deeper understanding of both my strengths and my blind spots. I am now more intentional, more grounded, less reactive, and better equipped to think strategically with a long-term perspective.
Head of Energy, Industry & Infrastructure
Durant une acquisition particulièrement exigeante, où les enjeux étaient considérables et le sentiment d'isolement bien réel, avoir Maya à mes côtés a été un soutien précieux. Son accompagnement a eu un impact bien plus important que je ne l'aurais imaginé.
Product & Tech Executive
Maya brings a rare combination of empathy and pragmatism. Her coaching provided practical insights that helped me grow not only as a leader, but also as a person. The changes have been meaningful, sustainable, and applicable across both my professional and personal life.
Group Head of Legal & Compliance
Grâce à des outils simples, concrets et parfaitement adaptés à ma situation, j'ai appris à mieux accompagner mes équipes, intégrer un nouveau département avec sérénité et gérer mes réactions avec davantage de recul.
