If you’ve been teetering between “I should be grateful for this career” and “I know I’m meant for more,” this one’s for you.

On The Luxe Leap podcast, I had the deep pleasure of interviewing Kamila Adamatti, a change management executive turned CEO of Tone Up Business Consulting. Her story isn’t just about leaving a 22-year career in corporate leadership. It’s about rewriting the rules, reclaiming your purpose, and building a brand that doesn’t ask for validation—it demands visibility.

When Comfort No Longer Feels Like Alignment

Kamila spent over two decades climbing the ladder in international corporations. On paper? She had it all. But deep down, she knew she was ready to lead in her own voice, with her own values, in her own way. And if you’re anything like the women I work with, you know that feeling intimately: the quiet nudge that grows louder with every unspoken idea and overlooked insight.

Kamila didn’t leave because she couldn’t cut it in corporate. She left because she outgrew the confines of someone else’s vision. And instead of playing it safe, she made the luxe leap into building a brand rooted in clarity, communication, and cultural depth.

The Truth About the “Risk” of Reinvention

Let’s be clear: leaving a prestigious job to start your own consultancy is not a breakdown—it’s a breakthrough.

Kamila’s choice to bet on herself wasn’t reckless; it was reverent. She had spent decades mastering change management across global teams, and she realized that her truest impact would come when she stopped executing someone else’s strategy and started owning her own.

Her new brand didn’t start with a business card. It started with a decision: to lead differently.

What Champagne Clients Are Really Buying

Spoiler alert: it’s not your services.

It’s your certainty. Your clarity. Your story.

Kamila built her consultancy around her proprietary six-step “SPEECH” framework, blending communication, leadership, and strategy into a refined system that guides transformations with grace. That’s what premium clients want—a signature process rooted in real-world wisdom, not just theory.

And let’s be honest: that clarity doesn’t just attract clients. It creates uncommon wealth.

When you build an extraordinary brand, you stop trading hours for invoices. You start positioning yourself as the authority clients seek out—and pay handsomely for. You create a scalable identity that reflects your legacy, not just your LinkedIn resume.

Want to Make the Leap? Here’s the First Step

Kamila’s story is your permission slip. To leave the room that doesn’t fit. To choose leadership over loyalty to outdated systems. To trust that the brand you build outside the walls of corporate can be your greatest contribution and your most profitable one.

Because the moment you choose your own strategy over someone else’s structure? That’s when the real wealth begins.
