Leadership and management courses can give you knowledge and know how. They can provide you with a space to practice new skills.
Being guided by role-models you admire, or perhaps those leaders who you really don't want to emulate(!), our experience strongly shapes the leader we want to be.
But who can help you do this when the pressures on and everyone has a million-and-one other responsibilities to be getting on with?
I will support and challenge you to do the things you believe are the right things to do.
To be the leader you want to be, whilst dealing with everything else you have responsbility for.
Working together, we'll find ways for you to develop your leadership style which feels natural and has the positive impact you're looking to make.
