15 BOLD LESSONS FROM 15 YEARS OF COACHING ??

Hey BOLD Leaders,

There’s been a lot happening behind the scenes, and I know many are feeling it too.

Right now, leaders everywhere are navigating uncertainty, overwhelm, and change.

If that’s you, know this: you are not alone.

These moments call for resilience, clarity, and bold action.

For those who don’t see themselves as leaders, remember: leading yourself is leadership too.

Today, I want to acknowledge two milestones that reflect persistence, resilience, and growth:

?? One year of the BOLD newsletter on LinkedIn.

What started as a way to share insights has become a space for learning, reflection, and transformation.

20,000+ LinkedIn impressions later, here we are.?

Thank you for being part of this journey!?

?? 15 years as a certified coach.?

A decade and a half of guiding leaders through career transitions, personal branding, confidence building, and bold leadership.?

It’s been a journey of challenges, lessons, and wins: both mine and those of the incredible people I’ve coached.

During a recent call with my own coach, I realised something, coaching comes so naturally to me that I often don’t pause to reflect on its impact.

Coaching happens behind the scenes, but the transformation? That’s front and centre.

I’ve seen leaders who once feared being visible and public speaking, build their confidence and now command rooms of hundreds.

I’ve seen professionals bounce back from demotions or redundancies and rise even higher.

I’ve seen people who thought they had no unique gifts turn them into businesses.

It is truly humbling to witness the impact that coaching has on people’s lives.

Transformation happens when bold action meets the right support.

I thought to share some insights from my journey with you.

Here are 15 Bold Lessons from my journey ????

1. Growth never stops. Keep investing in yourself.
2. Your value isn’t defined by others. Own your worth.
3. Visibility matters. If people don’t know what you do, they can’t support you and you cannot serve them.
4. Your circle influences your success. Surround yourself with those who inspire you.
5. Confidence comes from action. Are you talking about it or being about it?
6. Protect your energy. It’s your greatest asset.
7. Use your gifts.? They were given to you for a reason.
8. Boundaries matter. Not everything needs your time.
9. Your voice is powerful. Use it.
10. People notice even when they don’t engage. Stay consistent.
11. The right opportunities come when you align with your values.
12. You don’t have to do it alone. Get support.
13. Change is constant. Adaptability is key.
14. Your personal brand is key to standing out. Show up even when no one is clapping.
15. Success starts with belief. The first person who needs to believe in you is YOU.

If you’ve been holding back on something, take this as your reminder: bold moves create bold results.

But bold moves also require energy, clarity, and rest.

You can’t lead from an empty cup.

So, as you take action, remember to pause when needed, breathe deeply, and prioritise your well-being.

The strongest leaders know when to recharge.

Here’s to 15 years of resilience, growth, and impact.

And here’s to the next chapter ????

Which lesson resonates with you most? I would love to know in the comments.
