Coaching Life 4
Coaching Life follows Jasper Oran and Simone Marshall, co-founders of London-based Simora Coaching, as they face a transformative crisis when their boutique executive coaching firm struggles to scale. Two simultaneous opportunities arrive: an invitation to the exclusive Global Leadership Institute's Alpine retreat in Switzerland and the unexpected return of Aisha Chen, a tech entrepreneur who had publicly rejected their coaching two years earlier. The situation becomes explosive when Aisha's sister Liana-attempting a hostile takeover of Aisha's quantum computing company alongside financier Lucas Arendt-also appears at the retreat, creating volatile family and corporate warfare in the mountain setting. As Jasper and Simone document their methods whilst navigating sophisticated power struggles, fundamental questions arise about whether genuine transformation can occur when being performed and monetised. The climax arrives during a storm-lit evening session where the Chen sisters confront their destructive patterns in front of the group-a breakthrough catalysing radical transparency rather than corporate theatre. All parties collaborate to create a unified narrative serving everyone's interests whilst honouring authentic change. However, the true test comes during descent to London's realities, where Alpine insights must integrate into existing corporate structures and media pressures. The novel argues that authentic transformation is possible within competing power systems, but only through transparency, vulnerability, and patient work turning breakthrough moments into sustainable patterns surviving ordinary professional life.
