FOUNDER AND LEAD FACULTY
Fabiana Pereira Hotz, PhD, PCC
FOUNDER & CEO. AUTHOR, THE CLARISTRAT METHOD™
Claristrat was founded by Dr. Fabiana Pereira Hotz — an executive coach and senior advisor to Fortune 500 boards, founders, and C-suites. Over a 25-year career spanning Accenture, Deloitte, and high-growth scale-ups, Fabiana led more than $200M in transformation programs across finance, healthcare, technology, public sector, and consumer industries.
She built the Claristrat Method™ as a single architecture from the core concepts of systems thinking, depth psychology, adult development theory, and applied neuroscience. The result is a sustained effort to integrate what each intellectual tradition gets right into a single coherent architecture designed from the ground up for the realities of senior leadership.
"For most of my career, I was exceptional at producing results and genuinely poor at being present to the people around me. I understood professional competence deeply and personal integration barely at all. I built this method because I needed it. Going through that work myself showed me what is possible on the other side of it."

WHAT MAKES CLARISTRAT DIFFERENTFour scientific lineages,
Integrated for development.
Most leadership development draws on behavioral traditions ineffective for lasting change. The Claristrat Method integrates four leading edge, proven scientific approaches that deliver it. Each does work the others cannot.
Senior leaders bring situations that cannot be solved with a best practice solution: the right one does not exist in advance. Most coaching treat this unpredictability as an issue. We see it as a domain with action steps.
COMPLEXITY YOU CAN WORK WITH
Snowden’s Cynefin lineage
The patterns a senior leader operates from are usually what they cannot describe, because they are looking from them. Behavioral coaching cannot reach this layer. Depth psychology can.
DEPTH BENEATH BEHAVIOR
Jungian lineage
Senior roles ask for the capacity to hold complexity, competing truths, and one's own contribution to the mess, all at once. Subject-object theory is the most useful account of how that capacity is built.
DEVELOPMENT, NOT TYPE-PROFILING
Kegan lineage
Senior coaching happens under pressure, and the leader's nervous system is doing things they cannot narrate. A coach without nervous system literacy will coach the talk and miss the work.
THE BODY UNDER LOAD
Porges & Feldman-Barret lineages
LEARNING PHILOSOPHY
How development
actually works.
Beyond wishful-thinking.
MOST LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
Assume development through linear knowledge acquisition and duty-based commitment.
THE CLARISTRAT METHOD™
Enables embodied leadership through an iterative, experience-based process.
The cycle is lived, not studied
Students move through Intentional Awareness, Dynamic Meaning, and Iterative Transformation — on themselves, with real stakes — before they hold the process for clients. You cannot teach what you have not inhabited. Each program is an actual growth experience.
+
Every session reflects the whole arc
The three-phase cycle operates at every scale simultaneously — the program, the engagement, the single session. Each session is a complete developmental loop. The client rehearses the process in every conversation — building the muscle until they can run it without the coach.
+
The cohort is a living system
Each cohort is a co-regulated learning environment, not a classroom. Faculty model the presence, inquiry, and feedback they are teaching. Psychological safety and developmental stretch are held simultaneously. The admission gate is required because the quality of the cohort is a core part of the learning.
+
Insight becomes capacity, not content
The goal is not graduates who know the method. It is practitioners who think systemically, act ethically, and serve generatively in environments of increasing complexity. The method becomes muscle memory.

BEGIN
Four ways to
follow your path.
A threshold brought you here: in yourself, your role, or the people you lead. Find the right way in from where you are.
A conversation will clarify your options.
THE SENIOR LEADER PROGRAM
The peer cohort experience
12 weeks with a selected cohort of senior leaders. The full developmental cycle lived, enabling you to hold it for others. Fully aligned with the latest ICF competencies, exceeding certification requirements.
INTERNAL PROGRAMS
Aligned human leadership
Train your people leaders, internal mentors and coaches in the Claristrat Method, so development conversations are more aligned, ethical, and effective in building culture and results.
1:1 COACHING
Depth work with Fabiana
For senior leaders who need a serious, private thinking space in which to realign for clearer decision-making. The approach touches identity, real-life tradeoffs, and legacy consequence.
COACHING BENCH
Coherent organizational support
Executive-level alumni coaches trained in the same effective method, matched by Fabiana and supervised by Claristrat faculty. The same developmental rigor across every engagement in your organization.
Upcoming cohorts now enrolling.
Places limited.
WORKING WITH CLARISTRAT
Three other ways to
leverage the method.
Beyond the peer cohort experience, for senior leaders who want 1:1 depth work for themselves. Or who want additional support to build and scale that capacity in the people around them.
01
1:1 Executive Coaching with Fabiana
"The people I work with are leaders who spend most of their professional and personal lives holding complexity on behalf of others. Yet they never really get their turn."
Your career proves your competence. The roles, the decisions, the people who trusted you with consequential things — that record is not in question. And yet something does not feel quite right. Not a crisis. A quiet misalignment between what you carry and how you carry it.
You have zero need of goal-setting life coaching. Just an unmet need to organize thoughts and feelings privately, without an audience. Your search for clarity is too important to become someone else's content.
The approach touches leadership identity, real-life tradeoffs, system complexity, and legacy consequence. Grounded in neuroscience, systems thinking, and analytical psychology as perceptual disciplines. Rigorous, fully confidential, and designed for both immediate relief and lasting coherence.
This work is a very specific thing. And it is rarer than it should be.
Suited to: senior leaders at a consequential crossroad who need a serious, private space.
“I believe in coaching and had several coaches over the years. Nothing came close to the depth and practicality of what emerged with Fabiana.”

A Coaching Bench for Organizations — Claristrat Alumni
Most coaching benches are fragmented. Each coach was trained differently, brings a different vocabulary, and produces inconsistent outcomes. With luck, the organization gets individual quality, but never coherence across the board.
Claristrat alumni are different in two ways. First: every one of them is a senior executive themselves: they have operated at the level they now coach, which means they are credible to your leaders from the first conversation.
Second: every one of them is trained in the same method, to the same standard, with the same ethical architecture. Your organization gets a bench that thinks and works coherently across geographies, languages, and leadership tiers. The same developmental rigor in every engagement.
Suited to: leaders that want methodological coherence across their coaching bench, above and beyond individual coach quality. Coaches are personally matched by Fabiana and supervised under the Claristrat Method™.
02
Internal Coaching Programs for People Leaders and Mentors
For executives who have experienced the depth of the work and want to build that capability in the leaders around them. A bespoke program grounded in the Claristrat Method™ that trains people leaders and internal mentors to develop others with the same precision and care they have received themselves.
This is not a structured methodology for developing human leadership: embedded into your existing culture, without the fragmentation of non-systemic off-the-shelf programs and without dependence on ongoing external cost.
Suited to: senior leaders who want their direct reports and mentors to develop others with rigor beyond legacy habits.

“Claristrat gave us a scalable coaching model that not only developed our leaders but also strengthened engagement across the company. The ROI was clear within months.”
