The Problem Isn’t Your Capability.

It’s that the way you’ve been operating no longer matches the person that you now aspire to be.

Ah, the missing piece!

When you have read all the books, listened to the podcasts, taken all the “right courses” but still there’s a disconnect — and there you are feeling like you are not much further along than you were when you started.

Especially when under stress or pressure, great theories and the latest strategies are wonderful for the intellect but not so great for actual implementation.

That’s where this coaching work comes in:

To literally show you the clear bridge between all of those proven concepts and not just where you are, but WHO you are– and THEN show you how to merge the two together so that you become a true “force to be reckoned with” both personally and professionally.

My mission is to help you de-mystify the steps forward and help you start achieving things that currently might feel impossible.

Some people arrive here as senior decision-makers who want to give their leadership and teams an edge when facing an environment of change, adversity or unpredictability.

Others arrive as individual professionals feeling like their career has hit a plateau or impasse. Some feel like their career has gone stagnant and they are ready to figure out how to change their direction without sacrificing lifestyle.

Others arrive simply exhausted — perhaps successful in their career, but disconnected from themselves. They are afraid that they will one day look back on their life and feel like they never truly lived.

Different circumstances.

But here’s the truth:

If more strategy alone could solve this, you (or your team) would already be where you want to be.

Most high-achieving professionals or well-intentioned go-getters assume the next breakthrough will come from a better plan, a sharper tactic, or more decisive action.

What they eventually discover is this:

Enduring results only follow when you’re able to identify what is going on internally and where you’re getting in your own way. You have to be able to finally identify those blind spots and commit to recalibrating the places where your own patterns and beliefs keep sabotaging your progress.

Then and only then will you be able to consistently implement those great external strategies — even when things get tough.

Because the problem isn’t your ambition, your motivation or your ability to execute.

It’s the way you’ve been taught to approach change. It’s the assumptions that you don’t even realize you’re making. It’s the “faulty code” that derails an otherwise great system.

That’s where this work begins — typically focused on one of three paths…

But Before We Talk About Specifics, Here’s A Quick Overview of How to Make This Website Work Best For You!

“The clarity I gained in such a short amount of time was not just game‑changing—it was life‑changing.”

Chris M / National Fuel Account Manager & Reliability Consultant, Fuel Logic LLC

“Wow!!! Meridith had the room at “HELLO”! She asked the right questions prior to our event and aligned her presentation with our theme. As if their story isn’t compelling enough, when Schuler arrives, one finds a higher definition to the words “strength” & “perseverance”. Highly recommend GRIT.”

Brad Steffani / Goodwill-Suncoast

“The experience with Meridith was stellar from the initial phone call… Meridith provoked critical thinking in my leadership team, and I am pleased with the tools, resources, and motivation she brought to our company. Thank you Meridith! “

Three Pathways for

Coaching Engagement & Growth

Executive Partnerships

For organizations and senior decision makers operating where stakes are real.

You are responsible for your team’s performance, culture, and strategic direction.

You don’t need motivation.

You need leaders who can think clearly, decide precisely, and hold steady under sustained pressure.

This work strengthens executive teams and high-level leaders beyond traditional development frameworks so that they can consistently thrive even in the midst of change, unpredictability and crisis.

My mission is to elevate your team members beyond “good”, beyond “great”. My objective is to set our sights on EPIC.

This work strengthens executive teams and high-level decision-makers navigating:

• Cultural complexity
• Organizational transition
• Sustained operational pressure
• Strategic inflection points

Through executive coaching, leadership team engagements, and strategic intensives (even gamification), leaders develop the steadiness and precision required for long-term performance.

Individual Career Coaching

For professionals who are ready to achieve a higher level of success and excellence in their career journey– or who need help determining what that next step might be.

You may or may not carry an organizational title.

But you carry ambition.

You know you’re capable of more —
yet strategies, job changes, and productivity hacks keep circling you back to the same place.

Clients often arrive:

• Successful on paper, yet sensing untapped capacity
• Navigating high-stakes career transitions with a hint of imposter syndrome or overwhelm
• Expanding influence and responsibility
• Seeking greater authority and internal steadiness
• Feeling overlooked and unable to get beyond invisible ceilings
• Knowing that there are certain gaps that stand between them and their goals. 

The focus is not on doing more.

It is on learning what you need to do differently. This work clarifies direction, rebuilds confidence, and creates forward momentum.

The EPIC Becoming Experience™

For individuals at a threshold — ready to intentionally design what comes next.

There are times in our life when something prompts us to shift our focus from achieving to who we feel like we are actually “being”.

The question subtly shifts from “How will I get there” to “Will I even have the chance to…?”

As rough as these moments may feel, these are not evidence of breakdown. They are guide posts toward times of profound breakthrough — but we rarely have the confidence to cross these bridges on our own.

In these times, clarity comes not so much from understanding where we are, but rather who we now are.

Meet The EPIC Becoming Experience™, where the future version of yourself lies waiting to be uncovered.

This personalized 1:1 experience is for individuals who:

• Feel like they’re going through the motions
• Have lost a sense of joy or identity
• Are tired of living on autopilot
• Know it’s time to fully live
• Have perhaps “tried everything” but now find themselves perhaps even more frustrated than when they started

This immersive partnership reconnects you to who you are and who you’re becoming.

EPIC: Empowered. Purpose‑Driven. Innovative. Collaborative.

This is not about reinvention.

It is about conscious becoming.

“When I began this leadership journey, I never would have imagined I could progress so quickly to where I am today. Your mentorship, insights, and expertise compressed my growth as a leader from what I expected would take decades into just a few years. I’m incredibly grateful.”

— Lynn Peralta
Assistant Director, Sonoma County Human Services Department

 

“Best thing that’s happened to me in 10 years.” Abhilash S. 

“Meridith not only embodied the purpose-driven and empowered mindset I aspired to, but she also provided the tough truths I needed to find clarity and direction. Her guidance was nothing short of transformative.”

— Derrick Harriman, Assistant General Manager, Bakemark

“I was absolutely not in the right place at the right time financially when I started working with Meridith. To say I was skeptical of hiring her is an understatement, but I am so glad that I signed up for the immersion program that she offers, and I highly recommend her services. Meridith’s process is very unique to you and she really plays on the inner self mindset to remind people how unique and gifted they are. After completing my EPIC You sessions, I focused my sessions on case studies, communication, mock interviews, and negotiation. Meridith easily and confidently showed me several subtle ways of expressing myself that really helped me stand out showcasing my strengths. She brings a ton of energy and devotion to her work, and you will absolutely benefit if you communicate what you want and commit to her process. Find a way to work with Meridith, you will not regret it! She figures you out and brings your best self forward!”

— Oren Feinstein, Director, Software & Platform Engineering, The Friedkin Group

What Clients Experience

When internal sovereignty strengthens, external outcomes follow.

Clients commonly report:

• Clearer executive presence in high-pressure environments
• More decisive and confident decision-making
• Reduced reactivity in complex conversations
• Stronger team alignment and accountability
• Elevated influence without increased effort
• Alignment between professional ambition and personal vitality

This work does not create a new personality.

It develops internal authority, confidence and resilience that was always available — but not fully structured or recognized.

Who This Work Is For

This work is designed for leaders, professionals and individuals who can say “yes” to any of the following:

• Carry real responsibility — for outcomes and people

• Sense untapped capacity within themselves

• Value depth over performance theater

• Are willing to examine the way they operate

• Understand that growth requires ownership

This is not for those seeking quick fixes, surface motivation, or outsourced accountability.

“Leadership, Success and Joy are not proven when conditions are easy.
They are revealed—and refined—when they are not.”
Meridith Alexander

Begin With a Conversation

All partnerships begin with a private discovery conversation.

This is an opportunity to clarify where you are, what feels stalled, and which pathway — executive, career, or personal — is most aligned.

If you are ready to stop circling the same strategies and begin operating differently, you are invited to start here.

I do, however, find that many people gain more value from the conversation when you first take a moment to watch some of the short overview videos on that are posted on the specific coaching program option pages themselves. I encourage you to take a moment to do that and then schedule your Zoom call below.
