Confident leadership without the imposter or threat of burnout!

As a woman at a senior leadership level, you face a unique set of challenges.  You may regularly be the only woman in the room, you face multiple pressures at work and home, and you are your own worst critic.

You know that you’re in the role because you deserve it, yet somehow you feel the pressure is on to over-deliver, so your tendency is to work like crazy to make it happen. Plus maybe your inner confidence isn’t quite as high as the image you’re able to portray.

I’ve stepped up so that means I need to do more, right? I need to show I’m worth it. I’ll just get the head down and make sure everything is running like clockwork, then I can take my foot off the gas.

It’s an easy trap to fall into…that need to prove yourself, push too hard, and never switch off.

What you really deserve is to feel confident in your leadership style and impact, so you can deliver high performance with less stress and more ease.

Your presence and gravitas translates into a leadership style that delivers at every level.

This is a programme for women leaders unlike anything else out there. It is a transformational experience that is designed to take you, your self-belief, and your impact as a leader to a whole new level.

It’s dynamic, action-focused, and no you won’t get this from a book or a course! You get the right help and support right when you need it. Have a safe space to sound out your ideas. Basically have a place to go with the things that make you think “oh crap, what do I do about…?”

It can be lonely when you get to your level, and it’s likely you’re one of few women there. You’ve got there through hard work, and probably overcome more than your counterparts to make it. This should be a time when you get to love where you’re at and the impact you have.

You define your goals and we work together to make them happen. There are 3 key ingredients:

The mastermind will kick off with a 6-week intensive of Positive Intelligence with Shirzad Chamine, facilitated by me, designed to increase your mental fitness. What is mental fitness?

Well, when you’re physically fit, you can climb steep hills without physical stress. If you’re mentally fit, you can handle life’s great challenges without mental stress or other negative emotions.

This measure of your Mental Fitness is called PQ (Positive Intelligence Quotient). Research with 500,000 participants has shown PQ to be the best predictor of how happy you are and how well you perform relative to your potential. My clients have seen massive shifts in their ability to navigate the pressures of leadership and life, whilst developing greater influence and higher performance.

You can read more about the PQ programme here and as your PQ coach I will help you make the most of this opportunity.

This is not your average development…through a combination of masterclasses and mastermind sessions we will grow your leadership capability and impact through real-life examples and application.

We meet twice a month (via Zoom) for a masterclass and a mastermind session.

Mastermind sessions are where you… bring your challenge and take a turn in the hot seat to get coaching and advice from other women who understand what it is to be a leader at your level. From how to win over that tricky CFO to how to deliver bad news, we will deal with any situation you’re facing. It’s an opportunity to learn and grow from the entire group using real situations, with me as your facilitator and leadership coach

Masterclasses are where we… focus on a specific leadership topic to help you grow your style and knowledge.

Sessions will feature a mix of guest experts and we will cover topics such as…

• Confidently Owning your Leadership Impact and Style
• Developing Your Leadership Influence:  How to show up and pack a punch in the boardroom and beyond
• Coaching for High Performance – listening, asking great questions, maximising growth
• Navigating and developing strategic business relationships (delivered by Lisa Strutt)
• Leadership Presence: deliver your message and maintain your composure in any situation from radio interview to boardroom (delivered by Lindsey Armstrong)
• Courageous Conversations:  Confidently tackling challenging conversations and tricky situations
• Simplifying Strategy: From your People Approach to Finance – Defining Successful Strategies

Sessions are defined and delivered to suit the group of leaders as part of the dynamic design and delivery of the Mastermind Programme.

Maybe you have a challenge or opportunity that you want to maximise, you can drop into my monthly leadership clinic (via Zoom) with your questions, get feedback on your strategy, or develop your approach with my help.

Also we have an online forum (likely WhatsApp) where you can get real-time support from your peers and stay connected.

Plus 3 one-to-one coaching sessions

Session 1 – We’ll identify your goals and define what you need and want to get from working together, to make sure you get exactly what you need from the programme.

Session 2 – Our mid-way check-in to make sure your goals are on track and make any adjustments needed. As you’ve developed over the first half of the programme, you may need to alter your goals to adjust to the new you.

Session 3 – After a quick review of the programme to be sure you got what you needed, we’ll make a plan so you can make everything you’ve learned, and the skills you’ve acquired, a part of your everyday life going forward.

Imagine walking into the boardroom feeling confident to deal with anything, even the unexpected. Being equipped to manage your trickiest manager without stress. Or at
ease with inspiring your team to take positive action.

You define it and I will help you make it a reality.
