Lead for Impact
1-1 coaching for mid-career leaders
If you're overwhelmed, overcommitted, and under-resourced, this programme will halve your workload stress and double your leadership impact.
The pain you're probably feeling
You’re experienced, committed, and want to do good work.
But right now, it’s hard to say no to the never-ending stream of requests. To find time for the strategic work that really matters. To show up with energy and confidence when you’re stretched so thin.
And it's totally understandable. You don’t have the support, space, or systems to lead how you know you could.
Underneath, you’re tired of questioning whether you’re the right person for this job - and worrying about burning out or checking out.
Put simply, you want to come home from work thinking: "I nailed it today."
How it works
The Lead for Impact coaching programme gets under the surface to help you lead with less stress - and more impact.
1. Onboarding + Baseline
We start with a longer onboarding session and a personalised leadership assessment. This builds your self-awareness and gives you clarity about where we're heading.
2. Fortnightly Coaching Calls
We meet every two weeks online. You’ll leave each session with clarity and an action plan.
3. Tailored Tools + Resources
You get access to a curated toolkit, shared as needed based on your specific context.
4. Accountability
I stay in touch each week to lightly keep you accountable to what we're working on.
What’s included (and why it matters)
✅ Fortnightly 1:1 Coaching Sessions
Get expert guidance and dedicated space to reflect, problem-solve, and make progress on what matters most.
✅ Onboarding Assessment + Deep Dive Session
We kick off with a thorough assessment so we can zero in on your goals and set a clear direction from the start.
✅ The Communication + Leadership Toolkit
You’ll receive practical templates, scripts, and tools - shared at the right moment so you don't get overwhelmed.
✅ Weekly Email Support
Stay accountable and supported between sessions with light-touch check-ins designed to keep your focus sharp and your momentum strong.
✅ A Copy of My Book (Leading Questions, due late 2025)
This gives you lasting access to the key frameworks and stories that underpin our work, and a reference you can return to any time.
✅ In-Between Support by Email
Sometimes leadership gets messy between sessions. You’ll have a direct line for quick advice when you need it most.
The Investment
Ultimately, this programme is about reclaiming 5-15 hours per week for higher-impact work.
It's also about protecting a six-figure salary and your career trajectory.

Most clients tell me this investment pays for itself within weeks - just by reclaiming lost time, avoiding burnout, and making better decisions.
What's the value for your organisation?
If you're looking to get workplace support, here's how it'll benefit them:
- Reduced turnover risk: Sustainable leadership means you're less likely to burn out and leave (avoiding the 25% cost of your salary that it takes to find and recruit a replacement).
- Improved engagement and productivity: Gallup's research has found that ~80% of employees are disengaged and this costs millions in lost productivity and sick days.
- Better decision-making: You'll do more of the work that truly matters and less of the busywork that drains your energy.
- Stronger stakeholder relationships: When you reduce overwhelm, you can engage better with important stakeholders - leading to better outcomes.
What makes me different?
There are a number of reasons why my clients choose me. These include:
- I wrote the book. My book Leading Questions (coming late 2025) supports this coaching programme.
- You deal with me. From your enquiry to your final coaching conversation, you only deal with me.
- I use my own IP. No one else is licensed to deliver my stuff.
- I get you. I've worked in many different leadership roles: in big government departments, plucky non-profits and in a business consultancy too.
- I'm real and authentic. People enjoy the lightness I bring to heavy issues - keeping it human rather than hiding behind jargon.
Some Frequently Asked Questions
Most of my clients fund this themselves. If you're serious about getting time back and making your career sustainable, you’re worth the investment.
That’s why I offer a 30-day guarantee. If you’re not happy after the first session, I’ll refund you (minus any expenses).
That’s exactly why you need this. You’re doing too much. We’ll fix that.
Just get in touch with me and we'll figure something out. I commit to you and your impact; I'm not interested in counting sessions or hours.
