Introducing Beyond The Boardroom: A Leadership Experience for Emotional Wellbeing At Work.

Here's the thing: burnout, stress, and anxiety do not escape you because you're on track to being a leader in your company.

When I was twenty-three, I wanted to be a journalist. By twenty-four, I became a journalist. Once I stepped into that newsroom, I wanted to become an editor—the first Black editor of a department. This would have been great. Nothing wrong with ambition. Except for one snag: the four panic attacks I had between 2017 and 2020.

This worked out to be...on average 1.5 panic attacks a year.

In those years:

• I missed deadlines.
• I came to work late.
• I couldn't concentrate.
• I was scared to stand up for myself.
• I lost my voice.
• I was paid less.
• I was overworked.

Why was this?

Living as a millennial in today's fast-paced, high-pressure professional landscape, leaders are expected to excel at everything — from driving business results to managing teams to making critical decisions under pressure. But what happens when the demands of leadership start to weigh on your mental health? When the very qualities that helped you succeed professionally — your drive, your resilience, your self-sufficiency — begin to take a toll on your emotional well-being?

This is where Beyond The Boardroom comes in.

As a hypnotherapist and coach, I have spent time working on how to help leaders do their work and DO IT WELL.

Beyond The Boardroom is a transformative, holistic program that I created within the purview of The Time To Talk Project and a specialist in emotional well-being. Designed for high-performing professionals and leaders, this program helps you manage your stress, break through internal barriers, and redefine success beyond the traditional metrics of productivity and achievement.

What Makes Beyond The Boardroom Different?

At its core, Beyond The Boardroom is about more than professional development; it's about emotional evolution. The program offers a unique blend of group therapeutic coaching and 1:1 personalised coaching, helping leaders excel both in their professional lives and personal well-being.

Here’s how it works:

• Wellbeing Sessions: Do you want to just touch base? These sessions will give you the top-up you need to support you with your wellbeing. Stress, anxiety, and anger management - whatever you need help with, I will come in and support you with it.
• Group Therapeutic Coaching: Over three months, you’ll join weekly 90-minute group therapy sessions with a small cohort of like-minded leaders. These sessions provide a safe, confidential space to explore vulnerability, manage stress, and share experiences with other high achievers who understand the pressures you face. Group coaching isn’t just about problem-solving; it’s about building emotional resilience and connection in a way that strengthens your leadership.
• 1:1 Therapeutic Coaching: In addition to group work, you’ll also receive monthly, personalised 1:1 coaching sessions with me. These private sessions allow you to delve deeper into your challenges — whether it’s managing work-related stress, navigating difficult leadership decisions, or breaking through emotional patterns that might be holding you back.

Why Emotional Wellbeing Matters for Leaders

For too long, leadership has been defined by performance alone. But as we’ve seen in recent years, high performance without emotional well-being leads to burnout, anxiety, and a diminished ability to lead effectively.

The Beyond The Boardroom program helps you focus on:

• Stress Management: Learn practical tools to manage stress, both in the workplace and at home, so you can lead with clarity and calm.
• Emotional Resilience: Build the capacity to navigate setbacks, handle pressure, and bounce back from challenges with strength and composure.
• Breaking Internal Barriers: Identify and address emotional blocks that might be limiting your potential. Whether it’s perfectionism, fear of failure, or difficulty delegating, these are all challenges that Beyond The Boardroom helps you overcome.
• Redefining Success: In this program, success isn’t just about professional accolades — it’s about personal growth, well-being, and learning to thrive beyond the demands of the boardroom.

Who Is Beyond The Boardroom For?

This experience is designed for high-performing leaders and professionals who are ready to take their leadership to the next level — not just in terms of productivity but in terms of emotional intelligence, well-being, and resilience.
