Executive Coaching for Founders and Senior Leaders

The work is simple. Not easy. But simple.

I help you make your next move – a shift in work and life that feels aligned, not rushed.

You get clear on what you actually want. You build the plan to get there. You follow through — with someone holding you to it. That’s the whole thing.

Here’s the thing about succeeding at the wrong thing.

It’s harder to leave than failing is. You’ve invested too much. It looks too good from the outside. And every time you try to think your way out, you end up justifying staying.

This isn’t a motivation problem.

More ambition won’t fix it. Neither will a better morning routine. What’s missing isn’t effort — it’s clarity about what you’re actually building toward, and why.

You might recognise yourself here:

  • You’ve achieved things that should feel like enough, and they don’t.

  • You’ve been “about to sort this out” for longer than you’d like to admit.

  • You’re exhausted in a way that sleep doesn’t fix.

  • You’re making decisions, but not the one you actually need to make.

This is the work. Not productivity. Not optimisation. Getting honest, getting clear, and moving.

My work is to be the person who asks the questions you’ve been avoiding — and stays in the room until you find your own answers.

What changes:

  • You stop carrying the weight of a direction you don’t believe in

  • You work with focus instead of constant noise in your head

  • Your energy comes back — because you’re no longer spending it on the wrong things

  • You move. Not someday. Now.

How We’ll Work Together

The Process

Step 1:

A free, honest conversation

We talk for thirty minutes. I want to understand what’s actually going on — not the polished version. You get a sense of who I am and how I work. If it’s not a fit, I’ll say so.

Step 2:

We choose the right path

Retreat, coaching, or both — based on where you are and what you need. Not a sales conversation. A real decision, made together with full information.

Step 3:

We name the real thing

Not the surface problem. The actual one. This is usually the most uncomfortable part of the process — and consistently the most valuable.

Step 4:

We build your plan

Specific, personal, and realistic. A clear 90 days — with the priority defined and the steps after that mapped out. Not a vision board. A plan you’ll actually use.

Step 5:

We build the capacity to execute it

This is where most plans fail — not from bad intentions, but from the gap between knowing and doing. We work on that gap. The inner infrastructure that means you follow through when resistance hits.

Step 6:

You move — and it sticks

The goal isn’t a good few months. It’s a permanent shift in how you operate, what you prioritise, and what you’re willing to settle for. That’s what we’re building toward.

  • The Retreat | Bouznika, Morocco

The Reset Retreat Morocco

Four days on the Atlantic coast of Morocco. Each morning begins in the water — surf sessions with instruction from beginner to experienced. Not as a team-building exercise. As a practice in presence that carries into the rest of the day. Two full 1:1 sessions with Dris — the kind of depth that requires more than 90 minutes in a Zoom room.

Morocco Surf Retreats
Morocco Retreat Life Coaching

Daily group sessions with the other four people in the retreat, who are working through a version of the same question. Breathwork, movement, and the particular clarity that comes from four days away from the noise of your actual life. You leave with a personal 90-day plan — built from the work you’ve done here, specific to your situation — and 30 days of follow-up support after you’re back.

Included: accommodation, three meals daily, airport transfers from Casablanca and Rabat. Intake is selective. A short call first — to make sure this is the right moment for you. Not every application is accepted, and that’s intentional. Next retreat: dates available on request. Destination accessible from major European cities — direct flights to Casablanca and Rabat from Paris, London, Madrid, and Amsterdam.

Investment from €2,800 — full details on the call.

Why Work With Me

I’m Dris. I’ve spent over a decade working as an executive coach for founders, senior leaders, and high-performing professionals across Europe, the US, the Middle East, and across 25 countries.

I’m not a therapist. I’m not a motivational speaker. I’m someone who has done this himself — rebuilt a career, relocated a life, and found out what it actually feels like to live something that’s genuinely yours, after years of performing someone else’s version of it.

I ask hard questions. I don’t rescue you from the discomfort of honest answers. And I stay with you until the work is done.

The practical stuff:

  • Every engagement starts with a free, no-commitment call

  • I work with a small number of clients at one time — the work stays personal

  • Sessions in English or French — clients across Europe, the US, Middle East, and beyond

  • If therapy would serve you better than coaching, I will tell you directly
