Elevate Your Leadership,
Elevate Your Team

Ursulla Crilly is a leadership development coach, facilitator, and guide with over 20 years of experience working alongside leaders in high-pressure, high-visibility environments, including airlines, global organisations, and fast-moving corporate settings where performance and expectations are high. Her work is grounded, human, and practical, shaped by a deep understanding of what it truly takes to lead under pressure without losing yourself in the process.

Ursulla does not believe in fixing people, because people are not broken. She supports leaders in rebuilding self-trust, creating healthy boundaries, and leading in ways that protect both their energy and their integrity. By combining proven leadership frameworks with emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and deep personal insight, she creates environments where leaders feel safe enough to be real, knowing that lasting transformation can only happen from a place of authenticity.

For Ursulla, leadership is not about power or position. It is about presence, about how people feel around you, and about the culture you create when no one is watching.

For most of my career, I worked alongside leaders in high-performance, high-visibility environments. On the surface, everything looked successful, yet behind the titles I saw a familiar pattern: capable, intelligent people leading others while quietly disconnected from themselves, carrying burnout, self-doubt, and the constant pressure to hold it together. I know this world well, because I have lived it too.

Over more than two decades in coaching, training, and leadership development, I have supported thousands of professionals across cultures and industries. Through that experience, one truth became impossible to ignore: leadership does not fail because people lack skill, it fails when people stop trusting themselves. That realisation led me to create Start With You, not to build a brand, but to create space for honest conversation, reflection, and a more aligned way of leading.

Whether you are leading a team, an organisation, or navigating a demanding season of your own, my role is to walk beside you and support you in leading from the inside out, because before anything else works, it has to start with you.
