DON'T GET STUCK IN THE TACTICAL TRAP...
(where everyone relies on you to get stuff done,
but no-one turns to you for advice and strategic insight)
"The programme was especially valuable to me as I stepped into my new role as Director of Communications.
Before joining the programme, I knew I needed support in moving from a task-driven mindset to leading with more confidence and intention. I was doing good work but felt like I wasn’t stepping fully into the leadership role I envisioned for myself. My goal in seeking coaching was to clarify how I could better align my strengths and values with my leadership style, as well as overcome the self-doubt that often crept in.
What I loved most about group coaching was the shared experience. Hearing others' challenges and successes reinforced that I wasn’t alone in my struggles, and it was inspiring to see everyone grow in their own ways.
If someone is looking for clarity, confidence, and a structured approach to leadership development, I would absolutely recommend working with Louise."
