You Are A Future Leader – You Just Need A Bit More Confidence
You feel awkward when you have to make phone calls opting to email people every time instead.
You worry when you disagree with others and wonder if you should just shut up because they have more experience than you.
You want a promotion but can’t seem to get through the interview process.
You’re scared of being judged, you doubt yourself and you worry what other people are thinking. You’re worried you look and sound stupid.
You wish you could lead meetings with confidence, give presentations with ease and glide through an interview to achieve the job of your dreams.
If only you could feel confident enough to get out there and make it all happen.
Starting W/C 19th April 2021
If you know lack of confidence is your weakness, but you want to learn the skills to have those awkward conversations, speak up for yourself and reach your career goals then hit the button:
There’s a spark inside of you.
A little flame that if fanned could mean you really achieve something. Self-doubt is really tough. It eats away at you, makes you question yourself and constantly worry if someone is judging you. It doesn’t just impact your work, but your relationships too.
You’re a born leader – you just haven’t been learnt to shine yet.
You can totally see yourself managing a team, leading a department or even being the Big Boss. Being those things means you have to toughen up, shout at people and be totally cut-throat in your decision-making right?
Wrong!
In fact, being a leader means understanding your strengths, knowing how to achieve your goals and knowing how to inspire others. That leads to confidence. Being a confident leader is about compassion, being a people person and learning to listen. You can totally do that.
You just have to believe you can do it!
If you care about people then you definitely have the personality to be a confident leader and the ability to motivate others, empower them and help them shine. You are a leader. You just don’t believe it yet! Maybe you just haven’t learnt how?
You’re not a total beginner in the world of work – you have some experience. But you worry it’s not enough. Equally you’re not at the top of your game. If you were you wouldn’t be reading this!
You look at the leaders around you and maybe you secretly think they’re not that good at their jobs, maybe you’d do things differently… Perhaps you’re on a mission to bring more female leadership into your organisation. Or you have a desire to gain the credibility and impact that comes from being a department head or a senior in your field.
You don’t have to be a bitch. People respect a strong, friendly, open-minded leader and this programme will help you to be confident in harnessing your natural leadership abilities so you can really build rapport, trust and accountability with the people around you.
You can be a leader and still be nice!
This Programme Will Give You All The Tools You Need
Imagine being confident in your decisions, in the way your interacted with others and in how you came across to people. You’d stand taller. You’d speak with more clarity and strength. You’d SMILE MORE!
Imagine confidently giving instructions and holding team meetings with an air of leadership and authority, whilst maintaining a key core value – your COMPASSION. Your staff and peers would respect you and trust you and you’d appreciate their opinions and input. You’d care about your work and you’d love empowering your team, so they’d care about their work too.
Wouldn’t it be brilliant if you knew your strengths, weaknesses and how your personality impacted the way you communicate, lead and manage? Think about how great it would feel to be totally content with who you are and use this to reach the goals you have.
You wouldn’t need to second guess people.
You wouldn’t need to doubt yourself.
You wouldn’t worry what other people thought of you.
You would feel calm, assertive and happy.
You would go to bed at night knowing you had solved problems, hit targets and achieved goals. All whilst being kind, compassionate and fair.

Add Janine’s testimonial here
Whilst I was hesitant about opening up about things that are personal to me with people I didn’t know in Group Coaching, I am now more confident and approach things in a much better way. I have already recommended you to fellow colleagues and friends as I really think they would benefit as you are such a good coach.
It was amazing to see you speaking and it has really inspired me. The reading list you recommended was excellent. I’ve struggled with my confidence, particularly during lockdown, and am slowly building myself back up. I’m making more decisions, increasing my resilience and my self-perception is on the up! I can’t thank you enough.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if this is for me?
The ideal participant:
- Has ambition to take their career to the next level, be that in their current role or in a future role. You want to shine in the workplace and be seen as someone with leadership potential. You do not have to be a manager or even an aspiring manager – leadership is about empowering people regardless of job title. Whilst this is advertised to women in social housing the course content is not related to housing and so you may work outside of this sector.
- Are interested in people. You want to learn to get the best out of people, encourage people and empower people – including yourself.
- Are worried that effective leadership requires you to be brash, aggressive or forceful and you do not identify with these traits. You are kind and compassionate and want to learn ways of connecting with people that mean you are respected for being nice, without being seen as weak.
- Is willing to share your experience throughout this process and understand that going through challenges with the support of peers will help you to grow.
- Is open to answering questions about the challenges you are facing with a coach in a secure and safe way. You are excited about unblocking the things that are preventing you being confident.
What actually IS coaching?
It’s a conversation where I ask you questions to help you solve a problem.
In a nutshell, it’s an opportunity for you to talk with someone impartial. The benefit is that I do NOT know your specific job role. I am not biased and cannot lead you like a mentor might. Essentially, we work on a goal together. This is discussed in the first session. It could be a personal goal, a business goal or a goal for your team. We’ll break it down. I will hold you accountable to achieving that, help you play to your strengths and challenge you to work out if it’s what you really want to do. I’ll make you feel good about yourself and I’ll ask questions that get you to dig below the surface. Conversations are usually an hour and my skills are in keeping the conversation on track if it’s needed or helping you follow your thoughts if that’s what is better. You don’t need to worry about how the session will work, it’s my talent to flex to what you need. A coach’s role is one of flexibility, excellent question asking and providing opportunity for reflection.
Does having a coach mean I'm weak?
Many of the top entrepreneurs or senior managers will tell you they couldn’t have got to where they are without a coach. Coaching is empowering. Hiring a coach means you have ambition – that you’re willing to move obstacles out of your way in order to succeed. Hiring a coach means you recognise that you have to be at optimal mindset in order to lead. That shows strength, determination and resilience, not weakness!
What technology do we use?
You will receive a self-study programme sign up link via email which you can then access via a webpage. Leadership Management workshops and Group Coaching calls will take place via Zoom. You will receive the link to these once you are enrolled on the programme.
One to one calls also take place via Zoom. You can choose if you would like me to record them and send you them. I sit in my home office where we will not be disturbed, and no one can overhear us.
What’s the benefit of working with you over a 6 month period?
Rome wasn’t built in a day! If I could come in and fix your problems, make you confident and motivate your team in one hour, I’d be a very rich woman indeed! Confidence is skill you learn not something that develops overnight. Coaching is about setting goals and taking actions steps towards them. Years of doing this has shown me that the best results come by way of building our relationship over time and you gradually implementing the lessons bit by bit. Building rapport, trust and understanding grows the more time we spend together.
Will I have to do Group Coaching with my manager/my colleagues/someone else I know?
No. Absolutely not. I will make a point of putting you in groups with people you do not know. I will ask you information about where you work on the booking form. I want you to feel challenged but not terrified!
How can I persuade my Manager I should do this?
Many of you will have to get sign off from someone. Some options are… send them this webpage, ask to talk about your development in your next one to one, express interest and ask to use your training budget, show them what the benefit would be to your team/department/organisation if you did it.
Is this like therapy? Will I have to tell you about my childhood?
I’m a coach not a therapist. Whilst I worked for many years in the mental health sector (so feel very comfortable talking about mental health if you want to) – my work isn’t therapy. Coaching and this programme is empowering, future focused and goal oriented. I’ll discuss my boundaries and what we can and can’t talk about in our first training session.
How much do I have to share?
As much or as little as you want. The Group Coaching calls are really powerful, sometimes emotional but really life changing. It feels incredible to have your fears validated by peers and brilliant when you can celebrate successes. You may just make lifelong friends! I won’t push anyone to share anything they are uncomfortable with in any of the programme elements or in the one to one coaching.
