For women in public facing leadership 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. 

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

You also live with very private imposter syndrome or burn out that makes you worry you’re not up to the job. 

On paper you are ‘doing it’. Privately you are not sure.

Your work might be letting go of the tucked away imposter syndrome and leading from a different place altogether. Or finding a more balanced approach to your work that has time for other and important joys. Or finding an authentic and courageous way to hold up a mirror to the crisis we’re facing whilst feeling vulnerable in doing so. Or communicating we’re not going to get through this using business as usual strategies using your wisdom, not fear. It's a lot. 

It is lonely as a leader for the changes our people and planet need for a regenerative future. You are surrounded by business as usual. You are surrounded by a patriarchal system. You are surrounded by implicit and explicit fear. You will be holding your own grief about where we are, consciously or unconciously. 

You’re not meant to do this work alone. 

And I don’t mean that you’re not surrounded by people all day, you probably are for a lot of the time. I mean you need allies. You need support. You need a safe place to unravel a little to root into who you are and what you’re about and lead from that place. You need a space to re-connect with your why, which includes re-connecting to yourself, others and the natural world.

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

We will work together to develop and grow your leadership for the changes our future generations and planet need. I will walk by your side with authentic kindness and nitty gritty challenge. My superpower is holding a space where you feel safe enough to honestly reflect and courageous enough to start to change. You get a completely confidential space with zero judgement. We are two women working together to bring our best gifts to the challenges our planet and society are facing. We will focus on balance over burnout. Integrity over Imposter. Joy over judgement. And relationships; to yourself, to others and to the natural world.

I work in partnership with the organisation Positive Intelligence to enable my clients to complete the neuroscience-backed PQ Programme as part of my coaching package. It is delivered through a downloadable App and we will meet for a short catch up weekly during this time.

Why? Because it is the most effective and efficient system I have found to build a strong foundation for the coaching relationship and ultimately the change you want to bring to your life and work and world. It gives us a common language and framework to work with and a daily practice that I will support you to continue throughout our coaching relationship.  

Most attempts at positive change fail because we stop at insight and don’t build habits. This two-month programme is a neuroscience-backed mental fitness and wisdom boot-camp delivered through bite sized modules and 10 minutes of daily practice. You will learn to quiet your saboteurs and strengthen your inner sage.  

In and of itself, it has a profound impact as you will begin to walk through life differently from week one as you become aware of the negative narratives you are living with - your Saboteurs. You are invited and guided to experience each day with empathy, curiosity, innovation and action instead of judgement, competition or black and white thinking. PQ’s research shows an 85% increase in happiness, 91% manage stress better and 83% increase in self-confidence. 

Each week you will complete a 1-hr module (always over the weekend) with a different theme from discovering your Saboteurs to learning easy to implement tools to feel grounded and present. You learn to shift from a Saboteur perspective to your Sage and from their use and grow your powers of empathise, explore, navigate, innovate and activate. You put your learning into practice through daily bite sized reflections and practices for the rest of that week (10 minutes a day). 

During this time, we will have a short and focused weekly catch up to guide you through the programme and provide accountability. This can be either a 20-30-minute chat, email or voice note exchange.

You will have unlimited access to the App for the duration of our coaching relationship. This means that after the 8-week foundation course you have access to the vast resources that we can apply during our coaching journey to anything from conflict resolution to leadership to communication to parenting. 

My work is focused on women who are committed to long lasting change and action because I really believe we have to 'be' different to turn towards a different future for our people and planet. This programme sets you up in the best way I've found to jump into the coaching relationship with a mindset that is ready for challenge and growth.
