Helping Executive Women Reduce Stress, Prevent Fatigue & Avoid Burnout

Dennis Roberts is an executive coach, speaker, and writer dedicated to helping high-achieving women sustain success without sacrificing their well-being. With over two decades of experience coaching executives, business leaders, and professionals across industries, he specializes in stress resilience, leadership sustainability, and performance coaching.

A Unique Blend of Business Acumen & Holistic Well-Being

Dennis brings a rare combination of corporate leadership, high-performance coaching, and holistic self-management. A Certified Practising Accountant (CPA) with an MBA from Macquarie Graduate School of Management (MGSM), he has worked with leading corporations such as BHP, National Australia Bank, and Telstra, leading large-scale change management projects worth over $100 million. He has also collaborated with McKinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group, and PricewaterhouseCoopers.

Beyond business, Dennis has a deep personal interest in energy management, stress reduction, and leadership resilience. He has spent time living in meditation centres, exploring the intersection of mindset, energy, and high performance. His approach is grounded in both strategy and self-awareness, helping executive women lead powerfully—without exhaustion.

The Coaching Approach: More Than Just Goal Setting

Dennis’s coaching goes beyond traditional executive development. Many of his clients work alone, lack emotional support, and carry the weight of both professional and personal responsibilities. His coaching provides:

✅ A Safe Space → A place to be heard, understood, and supported
✅ Reframing & Emotional Support → Helping clients shift perspectives and navigate challenges
✅ Upskilling & Practical Tools → Real-world strategies for stress management, leadership, and communication
✅ Conflict & Expectation Management → Guidance on handling workplace dynamics and personal pressures

This isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing it differently. Through his Coaching for Performance framework, Dennis helps clients distinguish between results and performance, skills and behaviours, allowing them to create sustainable success without burnout.

A Passion for Sustainable Leadership

Dennis’s thought leadership on energy, burnout, and leadership has been evolving for over a decade. In 2012, he launched The Rise of the Feminine blog for SmartCompany, exploring systemic stress and the energetic imbalance in leadership long before it became mainstream. His 2014 feature in Human Capital magazine, Coaching for Yin, continued that conversation inside the HR profession.

Since then, he has written for or been featured in over twenty publications, including Reader’s Digest, The Australian Financial Review, Sydney Morning Herald, SmartCompany, Women’s Agenda, Company Director, HC Magazine, HR Monthly, and CEO Institute.

He has mentored executives through Australian Business Week, MGSM, and the Australian Businesswomen’s Network, and has served as an Executive Coach with the Australian Institute of Company Directors. Dennis was also a judging panel member for the Telstra Business Awards for multiple years.

Now based in Bondi, Sydney, Dennis is committed to helping executive women lead with confidence, clarity, and energy—without sacrificing their health or their sense of self.
