“Why do I feel less competent than what’s expected of me?” This question doesn’t come from underperformance.It comes from transition. Imposter syndrome often emerges precisely when leaders are: * Promoted * Given broader influence * Leading through uncertainty In other words—when the context outgrows the old leadership identity. The Confidence Gap No One Names Most leadership
Leadership presence is one of the most talked-about—and misunderstood—capabilities in executive leadership. It’s often described as confidence, gravitas, or commanding the room.Yet behind closed doors, many highly accomplished leaders ask me the same question: “Why do I feel less competent than what’s expected of me?” This question doesn’t come from lack of skill.It comes from a broken
One of the most senior leaders I coach said this last week… “I didn’t change the strategy. I changed how I entered the room.” This leader was highly respected. Smart. Experienced. Results-driven. But their team was tense. Guarded. Reactive. So we worked on one thing only: 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲. Slower entry. Grounded breathing. Listening without interruption. Three weeks later, they

For years, leadership presence has been mistaken for dominance. Speak louder.Take charge.Command the room. But the leaders who truly influence today’s organisations do something very different. They regulate first. Presence Is Nervous System Leadership Every leader walks into a room carrying a nervous system.And that nervous system sets the emotional tone—instantly. If you’re
Every great movement, every remarkable transformation — and every empowered team — begins with a vision. Not a slogan. Not a tagline. Not a strategic objective buried in a slide deck. But a vision — a clear, energising picture of a future your team can see, feel, and rally behind. In my work with leaders across
In a world defined by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and rapid change, leadership is no longer about having the right answers. It’s about having the right mind. The leaders who succeed today are not necessarily the smartest, the most experienced, or the most technically competent —they are the ones who can adapt their thinking in
There is a moment in leadership that few people talk about — and almost no one prepares you for. It’s the moment when success no longer satisfies you.

And because of that image, many leaders believe they are safe as long as they are still performing. Still delivering.Still meeting expectations.Still functioning. But here is the uncomfortable truth I see again and again in my
I didn’t plan to go quiet. In fact, if you know me, consistency, presence, and impact are part of how I operate — not just professionally, but personally. And yet, these past weeks unfolded differently. Buying a new home. A full home refurbishment. Packing up an old life. Moving into a new one. Setting
Coaching is now considered one of the most important approaches to talent development, equipping professionals with the tools, knowledge and opportunities they need to develop themselves and become more effective.
Leadership mentoring is a tried and trusted method for developing the best leaders of tomorrow. It provides prospective leaders with a forum for setting, discussing and disecting a path to leadership with someone who has walked that path before.
I develop and facilitate customized workshops, seminars and group coaching based on the individual needs of the client. This is more than a practice – it’s a solution essential to the success of individuals, teams, client relationships, and the entire organization.
