Right now something is holding you back...

From the outside, everything appears to be going well. You’re running your own business and have a happy-ish family life to boot. 


But you’re stuck in survival mode. 


You constantly question whether you can pull this off. Your confidence feels like a facade. You keep telling yourself,
“If I push a little more, maybe things will finally take off.” 

 

“I was in a challenging period of professional uncertainty, and I felt like I was drowning.  I came to coaching to find clarity and direction.”

“I was in a challenging period of professional uncertainty, and I felt like I was drowning. I came to coaching to find clarity and direction.”

Darja - Female Entrepreneur

You've tried everything they said would work...

The self-help books, the podcasts, the hired experts. 

You’ve invested in all the “right” things, but you’re still stuck. 


You don’t have the clarity. You don’t have the confidence. And deep down you know why. You’re the biggest bottleneck in your business. And until you grow, neither will your business. 

The worst part is that you feel ashamed to admit you don’t have it all together. 

You’re a classic Type-A achiever always striving, always pushing and it’s wearing you down. 

You’re doing everything you can to grow the business but by the end of the day, there’s nothing left for your family...let alone yourself. 

Here’s the kicker: 

You don’t need just another business coach. 

And you don’t feel broken enough to see a psychologist.


What you need is someone who gets the whole picture. 

Someone who can help you work on both you and your business.

"As a Co-Founder in a fast-growing start-up, I wanted to work with Alex to help me deal with managing a growing team and shifting responsibilities, without getting burnt out. Alex helped me uncover what I needed to be able to perform and be better for the business and my team, by feeling better and more in control in myself. Alex made me feel comfortable and supported and was always available for quick questions and ideas. Alex blends business and personal coaching, which really worked for me, as the two go hand-in-hand for any business leader."

You're not alone.

72% of women have experienced burnout in the past year.

When you’re stuck in survival mode growing a business and managing life’s competing demands is near impossible. 


You are not the problem, you’re not failing, you just need support.
 

There’s a reason that high performers in sport and CEOs have coaches, because they know it’s going to be challenging, and they can’t do it alone.

 

Running your own business is risky with 14% of small businesses failing every year. 

Working with the right coach will help you grow a sustainable business and not become another statistic. 

The research backs up the value of coaching: it delivers an average return on investment of nearly six times the cost. 

80% of coachees report significant improvements in the financial health of their business. 

 

 

Coaching also helps you grow personally.

Research shows it increases self-confidence by 80%, improves work performance by 70%, and 96% of people who try it say they’d do it again. 

If you long to feel energised in the uncertainty, courageous in your actions and focused on the things that matter, investing in coaching is the right decision.

"When I first started working with Alex, I was overthinking, second-guessing and feeling the guilt of not ‘doing enough’ in my business or at home. I’ve now worked with Alex across two 6-month engagements over the past two years, and I can’t imagine not having her in my corner.  My business revenue has grown by 93% and I’ve gained 16 hours a week by prioritising the right things and making faster, more confident decisions. The combination of accountability, practical frameworks and ongoing support has completely changed the way I show up.  Alex has helped me uncover blocks I didn’t even know existed and with every unblock there has been a ripple effect across my business, my family and my own wellbeing."

Flow Coaching for Women in Business

Grow Confidently. Experience more Joy. Be in the Flow. 


Flow Coaching is unlike anything else out there for women business owners. It is grounded in evidence, proven to deliver results, and meets the whole of you. 

Grounded in evidence

Based on over 50 years of research in human performance, psychology, and flow science. It goes beyond surface-level hacks or vague inspiration. It’s a proven approach to help you perform and feel at your best.

Proven to deliver results

This framework has propelled athletes to world championships, surgeons to stay sharp through 20-hour operations, chess players to reach grandmaster level, and speakers to take the stage with grounded presence.  It’s high performance without the ego-driven hustle so you can stay focused and energised for the long game.

Meets the whole of you

You’re not just a female founder. You’re a human with relationships and a life outside of work that matters just as much. The truth is, performance doesn’t happen in a vacuum. When things feel off at work, it shows up at home. When you are stretched too thin personally, your business takes a hit.

Flow Coaching looks at the full picture. Some sessions are laser focused on business growth. Others help you set boundaries, making space for your family, or finding a better rhythm to your week. It is all part of helping you show up at your best, on your terms.

Flow Coaching Method

Flow Coaching combines human performance, psychology and flow into a structured method that works from the inside out.

It’s not a cookie-cutter process, it’s tailored to you. Every journey is grounded in an evidence backed framework that gets results. This methodology is what transforms Flow Coaching from “nice conversations” into real, lasting results. Science-backed change tailored to the whole of you.

In a 10-year McKinsey study, executives report being up to five times more productive when in a flow state.
The University of Sydney study showed a 430-fold increase in creative problem-solving.
The United States Air Force found a 50% improvement in learning and skill acquisition when in flow. 

This is science-backed high performance applied to the real-world demands of growing a business. 

 “As a person with lots of competing priorities, it was pretty common for me to get to the end of each day having done lots of 'things', feeling exhausted and pulled in ten different directions, but not having actually achieved anything on my to-do list. Not only has Alex given me the practical skills to manage my time and prioritise tasks, but most importantly, she has worked with me to understand why I was taking on so much and how I could work happier, make better choices and achieve more in a meaningful way. She is the most wonderful, empathetic coach and really listens and seeks to understand. I have loved every minute of our work together.”

I'm Interested In Flow Coaching

Meet Alex Bakowski, not just another coach

Hi, I'm Alex 

A human performance expert and certified Flow Coach. 

I've got over 20 years’ experience in the business arena. A career highlight? Leading a team across five continents at once and being told it was so good, they didn’t want to go back to the real world. 

I hold credentials that count. I'm an Associate Certified Coach with the International Coaching Federation, a Certified Flow Coach with the Flow Centre, and I hold postgraduate qualifications in psychology. Even after all those years of study, I still find joy in a human performance textbook and coffee in bed on a Sunday morning. 

But I didn’t get here the traditional way. Growing up, I was told I wasn’t good enough and for a long time, I believed it. I left a tumultuous home life at a young age and started my career as a wide-eyed and eager receptionist. Somehow, I climbed the corporate ladder and became a global senior executive at one of the biggest companies in the world.  

In my 20s, a few serendipitous moments (and a few solid kicks from the universe) made me realise that a life of endless summers in Ibiza was not a life plan. That’s when I discovered the power of the inner game. I did all the personal development things including meeting Deepak Chopra and walking barefoot across hot coals with Tony Robbins (Cringe!) 

These days, I bring the head and the heart together into action as I coach professional women to find clarity, confidence, and flow to achieve in life on their terms. It’s not called the Alex Effect for nothing. 

Alex 

Not all coaches are created equal 

There’s a lot of choice when it comes to coaches and that comes with uncertainty. 

  • Who is legitimate? 
  • Who to trust? 
  • How do I choose?  
  • Will they deliver on their promises? 

I have legitimate coaching qualifications, use an evidence-based approach, and have coached high-performance individuals for over ten years. 

I do not make grandiose promises just to take your money (certified coaches like me follow a code of ethics.) 

The best way to get a feel for whether we are a good fit is to book a complimentary call with me.

Case Study

Darja, female entrepreneur 


Like many small business owners, Darja felt constantly under pressure. This resulted in her feeling quite stressed, uncertain, and scattered a lot of the time. This state of play was getting in the way of Darja performing effectively as a business owner, as she would avoid tasks that made her feel uncomfortable. 

Darja worked with Alex over six months in one-on-one coaching sessions.

Some sessions were explorative, with Darja asking questions and sitting with them so she could find her own answers. In other sessions, Alex shared information, gave guidance, and taught tools. 

Now, Darja’s life and business are more organised and focused. She runs her business more strategically rather than reactively. Through Alex's support and guidance, Darja gained confidence as a business leader.

 

"It was always a highlight to have that hour of space to reflect, talk, and actually think along and get some new information to then reflect on."
