Are you a superhero leader?

Do you believe that to be a great leader you need to be a fire fighter, a hero, who is able to come into a challenging situation, make quick decisions, use their authority and turn things around?

Many of us do believe this, I certainly did. It is simply not true, in fact it is deeply unhelpful.

What I have learnt and passionately believe in is that the best leaders take time to develop a vision, design processes and strategies that are clear and flexible and create an empowering high trust environment.

Because surely it's better to have everyone empowered to?spot fires, opportunities to improve, to share ideas and to proactively problem solve.

It will result in more flexible and supportive teams who will thrive in times of change and challenge.

The good news is that if you are kind, big-hearted leader this strategy plays into your authentic strengths. You have everything you need to light fires in others, to care, motivate, listen and inspire. You've just been told that another way is somehow better.

I have a vision where leaders can...?

Stop questioning and second guessing their ability to lead. But instead have confidence in their approach and feel equipped to lead authentically without sacrificing their credibility.

Stop firefighting and feel equipped to help their team take ownership and feel empowered so that they have time to think strategically and don't burn out.

Have effective conversations by communicating clearly and directly without loosing respect.?

If you are a kind, big-hearted charity sector leader in a growing team or a team that is experiencing change then I'm delighted to announce that the doors to my Leadership Inner Circles are open and here to support you.?

In this three month group coaching leadership development programme.

I can help you to...

Open up to your own strengths and values - to create your own authentic leadership navigation system.

Show up for yourself to create habits that will help you thrive.

Show up with others - to find your support network, help your team connect and collaborate.

Step up so that you can think strategically, have effective conversations, provide clarity and make effective decisions.

I do this through a blend of online content, live workshops and small group coaching spaces. (each circle will have 4-8 members)

This will be an intimate, transformational space where you will be given attention and you will know you are not alone.

We start on Tuesday 1 April 2025.

The Early Bird Booking deadline is Monday 17 March 2025

I'm taking discovery calls this week to see if the programme is right for you.

My DM's are always open if you have any questions, it may be right for you or a member of your team.

A thought for reflection

What do you believe the behaviours of a great leader should be?

How can you show up this week in a way that is authentic and empowering?

PS It is not too late to catch up on the Resilience Retreat podcast. I am keeping the community open for one more week. We say some amazing mindset shifts last week and it is a great way to get to know how I work.
