for organisations with public facing leaders working for the future of our people and planet

You may be in Politics, Policy, the Arts, Activism, Journalism or something else I haven’t thought to mention. 

Your work matters to me because I care about the future of our people and planet too and I want grounded and bold leaders in the front, taking up space and leading from their wisest self. I am an exceptional coach, and I would love to work in partnership to support your organisation to bring the best you can to the crisis we’re facing. 

Your leaders are dedicated. They're smart. They care. They are successful. They are helping your organisation play a part in bringing justice and change to our people and planet at a point in history when we are running out of time. 

They are also living with Saboteurs, we all are; internal characters that if left to our unconscious habits provide a near constant negative narrative in the hope to protect us. Protect us from change. They are narratives created in childhood and mainly inhabit the parts of our brain that keep us safe. And for that part of our brain, change isn't safe. 

Saboteurs affect all areas of a person's leadership and life; wellbeing, performance and relationships. They make leaders feel vulnerable, unsure and defensive which leads to a feeling of burn out, uncertain action and inauthentic relationships. This matters in the workplace. 

Living with these Saboteurs on loud speaker as a leader at a time when we really need change is a huge problem; our Saboteurs don't like change. And unconsciously, they sabotage us. Your leaders are surrounded by a business as usual culture that is perceived as safe and comfortable, they have been raised on this business as usual.  And, you know that we need leaders who are different, so they can support us in doing things differently. It isn't possible to bring real external change when leaders are stuck in the current system's mindset. The work has to be both internal and external. 

Now imagine your leaders working from a different place. Some people call this 'leading from their centre' or 'Sage', or 'inner wisdom'. From this place leaders are grounded, curious, empathic, and navigate calmly through challenges to take action. They are able to have challenging and difficult conversations and negotiations because they are clear of the bigger picture and can truly empathise with and navigate differences in opinions. They can hold the fear and grief of the situation we are in and do their part, understanding it is enough. They are confident in taking action and see the gift and opportunity in a setback or challenge. They are motivated by love instead of fear. 

Your Saboteurs might be scoffing at this. "That's not possible", "why bring love into it?", "I've heard it all before". Your Saboteurs might not be liking this possibility. Because it's different. And different has risks. 

Take a breath. And really imagine a world where leaders were support to lead from their Centre or Sage. 

From there perhaps we do have a chance to change the world on behalf of our future generations and planet. 

If this work is resonating for your organisational needs, the next step is to have a chat. I offer an initial 30 minute free exploratory chat to see where our common ground is. They are not sales calls, but an opportunity to meet and explore your what, why and who. I want to work with people and organisations I am aligned with and to whom I can genuinely offer something unique and impactful so I will speak honestly about what I can offer, or not to your organisation.
