Life coach · ICF certified · Online, worldwide

Rebalance the life you’ve built.

I’m Iris Calder. I help capable, busy people find the one part of life that’s pulling everything off balance, then change it, without starting over.

600+ people coached since 2014, from Lisbon to Lagos to Toronto.

You’ve built a good life. So why does it feel this heavy?

Most people who come to me aren’t in crisis. On paper, things are going well. What they tell me in our first call sounds more like this:

“My calendar is full and I still feel behind.”

“Work is going well. I can’t remember the last time I felt rested.”

“Everyone relies on me, and I’m no longer sure what I want.”

“I keep saying things will calm down after this project.”

“I don’t want a whole new life. I’d like this one to fit me again.”

If one of these landed, you’re in the right place. Coaching gives you one calm hour a week to look at the whole picture, and a plan small enough to keep.

Where does your wheel wobble?

Score each part of your life from 1 to 10, as it feels this week. Your wheel takes shape as you go. It takes about a minute, and nothing is saved or sent.

Score Career from 1 to 10
Score Money from 1 to 10
Score Health from 1 to 10
Score Growth from 1 to 10
Score Relationships from 1 to 10
Score Love from 1 to 10
Score Fun & rest from 1 to 10
Score Home from 1 to 10

Example wheel. Change any score to make it yours.

Lowest right now: Fun & rest, 3 out of 10.

That’s usually the spoke we’d start with. A small change there tends to steady everything else.

Twelve weeks, one spoke at a time

Here’s how The Rebalance unfolds. The group follows the same rhythm, over eight weeks.

Week 0

A free clarity call

30 minutes on Zoom. You tell me what’s going on, and I tell you honestly whether coaching can help.

Week 1

Your wheel, in depth

We map all eight areas and pick the one spoke that would make the biggest difference if it moved.

Weeks 2 to 11

One small change a week

Each session ends with one concrete experiment for the week. Between sessions, you can send me a voice note.

Week 12

Keep it rolling

We compare your wheel with week 1 and write a simple plan so you can keep going on your own.

Sessions run Monday to Thursday, in most time zones.

11 years

in strategy consulting before coaching

Hi, I’m Iris.

For eleven years I advised companies on how to grow. I was good at it, and I was running on empty.

In 2013 my own wheel came off. I trained as a coach to fix myself, and found the work I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Since 2014 I’ve coached more than 600 people in 31 countries: founders, nurses, lawyers, new parents, people starting again at 35 and at 60.

I work online from Lisbon. If you’re ever passing through, we can do a session walking by the river.

Questions, answered

Can’t see yours? Ask me on the free call, or write to me and I’ll reply within two working days.

How is coaching different from therapy?

Therapy often looks at the past and helps heal what hurts. Coaching looks at where you are now and where you want to go next, with practical steps each week. If something comes up that needs a therapist, I’ll tell you, and help you find one.

How do I know if we’re a good fit?

That’s what the free clarity call is for. If I don’t think I’m the right coach for you, I’ll say so, and point you to someone who might be.

Do we meet in person?

Sessions happen on Zoom, so you can join from anywhere. If you’re in Lisbon, we can also meet for a walking session.

What if I need to move a session?

Life happens. You can reschedule for free up to 24 hours before. After that, the session counts as used.

Can my employer pay for coaching?

Often, yes. Many companies cover coaching from a learning budget. I can send a proposal and an invoice in your company’s name.

Your first step is a 30-⁠minute conversation.

Free, on Zoom, and no pressure to sign up. We’ll look at your wheel together and see if coaching is the right next step.
