The PEACE Mentorship

Marike Stassar, leadership mentor

The question underneath the success 

There's a question your achievements can't answer, and at some point it
surfaces and won't go quiet. The PEACE Mentorship is sustained, one-to-one
work for leaders at exactly that point: the deeper work of coming back to yourself,
and bringing that into the rooms you already lead in.
Built on the PEACE model — Purpose, Empowerment, Action,
Connection, Elevation — with two ways in.

Start here: The Clarity Session. A focused 3-hour session, online.

We sit together, one to one, and get to what actually matters — underneath the role, the targets, the noise. I'll guide you through simple practices designed not to add to your plate, but to help you set down what's been weighing on you. No masks, and no agenda but yours. It's also the natural first step into the mentorship.

And continue here: The 3–6 Month Mentorship.

The 3–6 Month Mentorship — Sustained, one-to-one partnership over three to six months, depending on how far you want to go. Weekly one-to-one calls, with me a voice note away between them for the moments that matter as they happen. Together we move through the full PEACE model at the pace that lets the change actually hold — and we settle the right length when we talk.

This is not a quick fix but a profound shift and the beginning of a new chapter

This might be where you are

If you want personalised, one-to-one work that goes deeper than frameworks,
I invite you to Book your Connection Call.

I’ve been there, and I bring both halves of the way through.

I come to this work as a scientist and a leader — a PhD, and twenty years across academia, biotech, NGOs, politics and the UN. I also know the other side of it: severe depression, burnout more than once, and stretches of feeling completely adrift, even with a successful career on paper.

For two decades I searched for a way to live and lead that felt more peaceful and more purposeful, learning every tool and tradition I could find. Since 2016 I've brought all of it to leaders facing the same questions.

I don't offer theory — I offer a path I've walked myself.

Two Ways In

  • The Clarity Session — a focused 3-hour online session (including a 30-minute break) to pause, get clear, and find solid ground.

  • The 3–6 Month Mentorship — sustained, weekly one-to-one work, online, for change that holds.

  • Online participants receive a session recording.

  • The details — what's included, the right length, and whether we're a fit — we'll talk through in a connection call.

The PEACE Mentorship

Come back to yourself. Set the weight down. Think and feel clearly again — with no need to pretend.

You'll leave steadier, clearer, and more yourself. And you'll lead from there.
