I worked with Meridith while preparing my compensation proposal and she was an outstanding resource throughout the process. She's highly skilled at what she does but what really sets her apart is how much she believes in you. She's always rooting for you and that kind of support makes a real difference. The best part is that she doesn't try to turn you into someone you're not. She finds the strengths you already have and shapes them into what you need. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a coach who is both skilled and invested in their success!

About Executive Coach for High Stakes Career Transitions
[Quick note: My coaching programs are tailored for those who are ready to invest in their own success whether that means learning how to excel at interviews, explore a new career path or achieve more success/fulfillment in an overall capacity through extended coaching. The return on this investment is high, but this is not a great financial fit for someone who is looking for entry level coaching. Most clients commit to a minimum of 3 sessions for interview prep and a minimum of 8 for a deeper foundation.] I'm Executive Coach Meridith Alexander and I work with accomplished professionals and leaders navigating high-stakes transitions — career pivots, expanded responsibility, or crossroads where the next move requires more than surface-level advice. Using my proprietary Sovereign Leadership Method™which includes my highly acclaimed Interview Ninja technique, I help clients develop both strategic clarity and the often-overlooked inner mastery required to execute under pressure. This includes identifying aligned opportunities, making confident decisions, and leading themselves effectively through uncertainty and change. Unlike coaching that focuses only on tactics or accountability, my work integrates executive strategy with the internal skills that allow leaders to implement those strategies consistently — regardless of circumstances. Clients often describe the result as EPIC leadership: empowered, purpose-driven, innovative, and collaborative. This work is best suited for experienced professionals who are ready for enduring depth, accountability, and meaningful momentum — not quick fixes or entry-level coaching. Some of My Credentials & Recognition: Featured 40+ times on Forbes Coaches Council (2023–2024) • Named one of Creative Click Media's Successful Women (2019) • Recognized by Influence Digest as a Top 15 Coach in Tampa (2022) • Author of 2 books on leadership, resilience, and personal mastery plus 13 books in the My Friend the Boulder children’s book series. Numerous podcast, global media appearances as well as host of How to Choose to Live Podcast. What Clients Say: I'm honored to have earned 86+ five-star reviews on the Thumbtack platform from professionals who've experienced meaningful transformation through this work. Clients frequently describe breakthroughs in confidence, clarity, and career momentum — often within just a few sessions. You can read their full stories in the reviews below. How I Work: My approach integrates executive strategy with inner leadership mastery — helping clients move forward decisively when the next step feels unclear, risky, or high-stakes. Clients work with me on outcomes such as: --Gaining clarity when they feel professionally "stuck" or at a crossroads --Strengthening executive presence, communication mastery and confidence in interviews and critical conversations --Navigating career transitions with focus, resilience, and self-command --Translating leadership concepts into lived behavior under pressure This work goes beyond surface-level tactics. Leadership skills are most effective when they are embodied — not just understood — and that embodiment is where meaningful momentum begins. Many clients come to me for strategy — and stay because they experience who they become while implementing it. Investment & Approach: My work is engagement-based, not hourly. Most clients (other than those who are simply looking for interview skills, etc.) invest in a minimum of two months of coaching, depending on scope and timeline. The investment for my limited annual coaching enrollments is typically paid monthly. Payment plans are possible. Clients who desire only coaching on my Interview Ninja Technique should plan to budget for 3-7 sessions (includes role play/ mock interview questions). The hourly rate displayed is a platform requirement and doesn't reflect how we'll structure your work together. During our discovery call, we'll design the right approach for your specific situation. Why this level of investment? Most of my clients are navigating $150K+ career decisions or leadership transitions that will define the next decade. The investment in strategic clarity at this level typically returns 10-50x within the first year — through salary increases, promotions, avoided costly missteps, or reclaimed time and energy. Ready to Explore if This Is the Right Fit? Request a complimentary 20-minute discovery session. We'll discuss your specific transition, clarify your goals, and determine if my approach aligns with where you're headed. No pressure, just clarity. If you are looking for elite level executive coaching with the same strategies and inner game work that I share with my most accomplished professionals, I would love to chat. Thanks a million!

I loved, loved working with Meridith! She opened my eye in the very first introductory remark she made. She worked her magic and I am looking forward to the positive results for my dream job interview. I can’t wait to work with her again!
Meridith is amazing! I am so grateful for her guidance, and the help she has offered me so far.
Meridith gave me specific instructions on how to best prepare and strategize for an upcoming interview that I was feeling extremely unprepared for. She helped build my confidence which made a huge difference in my mindset, approach and performance. I got the job.
Meridith was amazing with addressing every curve ball that I pitched to her after experiencing those tough questions in interviews . Meridith can take every weakness from the candidate’s perspective and turn it into an opportunity to express a strength you didn’t know you have.
Meredith is wonderful, proactive and full of energy and optimism. She very quickly highlighted areas for me to focus on with career advice and interview prep. She has a way with words that is helping me communicate with more confidence and passion, and reminding me that how I say it is important as the words I use. Money well spent!! Thank you Meredith!!
Meridith was lovely to speak with, direct, informative as well as professional.
