High-altitude leadership requires a different kind of partnership.
I am an ICF Master Certified Coach, Executive Coach and Founder of The Leadership Factor, and I partner with you

We work together at the intersection of experience and mastery.
About Rohaizan Sallehudin, MCC
My Story: Three Decades in the Room
My career began in the corporate landscape. Over a period of three decades, I held strategic roles across change leadership and organisational transformation. I witnessed firsthand the weight of decisions – inside and outside the Boardroom – and the “paradox of seniority”: the more successful you become, the fewer people you can truly think aloud with.
I recognised that leaders at the top do not need more advice—they need a consequence-free space. In 2015, I hung up my corporate “power-suit” and founded The Leadership Factor to provide exactly that: a mirror to reflect what is unseen and a peer-level partnership independent of internal hierarchy. A consequence-free space.
Since then, I have partnered with hundreds of leaders across EMEA, the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Asia-Pacific region. My practice spans Banking & Finance, Technology Unicorns, Big Pharma and Global Manufacturing—bringing a multifaceted, cross-cultural perspective to every executive coaching engagement.
My Approach in Executive Coaching
My practice is rooted in a single conviction: I do not bring an agenda to our coaching. My role is to provide the cognitive and emotional infrastructure for you to navigate complexity with clarity.
This is a non-directive partnership. I honour your autonomy while challenging the assumptions that limit your horizon. With over 3,500 hours in the practice of executive and leadership coaching, and the rigour of the ICF MCC credential, I bring a fierce commitment to your mastery.
The 5 Core Principles of Our Partnership
| Principle | Impact on Your Leadership |
| Non-Directive | I provide the infrastructure; you retain total autonomy and agency. |
| Radical Candour | Unfiltered feedback that is often missing at the Board and C-Suite level. |
| Consequence-Free | Absolute confidentiality. A space to explore complex challenges without political risk. |
| Mastery & Presence | Rigorous coaching standards of the ICF MCC defined by deep presence and insight. |
| Systemic Insight | Understanding how your leadership dynamics ripple across the entire enterprise. |
