Lead yourself first
You don’t need to be in the C-suite to benefit from coaching. In fact, some of the most powerful leadership development happens in the years before you get there — when the patterns, habits and ways of relating are still forming.
Leadership coaching with me is is an opportunity to understand yourself before the pressure, expectations and responsibilities of leadership shape you by default.
Moving from doing the work to leading people is a bigger shift than most expect.
You’re not just learning how to lead, you’re also discovering who you are as a leader.
This is for you if…
- You’re a team leader, manager or senior individual contributor who wants to grow
- You’ve recently been promoted and want to grow into the role with intention
- You’re finding the people side of leadership harder than the technical side
- You’ve found yourself wondering, “Am I actually doing a good job as a leader?”
- You want to understand yourself, not just learn another leadership framework
Simone’s Approach
Leadership isn’t something you do, it’s someone you become
My coaching is equal parts practical and deeply personal. We’ll absolutely talk about difficult conversations, delegation, confidence and team dynamics, but we’ll also look at the beliefs, habits and patterns influencing how you show up every day.
It’s grounded in the Leadership Mandala — my signature framework that begins with The Self and expands outward through Leadership Expression, Team Alignment and Integration. It’s the same framework that underpins my executive work, because the inner work of leadership is the same at every level. We begin at the centre, with the PRINT® psychometric tool, and build outward from there.
Expect warmth, directness and a healthy dose of humour. Expect to be seen, challenged and genuinely supported. Expect to leave sessions with both insight and practical clarity.
No two sessions are ever the same because no two leaders are the same. Some days we’ll untangle a difficult conversation. Other days we’ll explore what’s sitting beneath your reaction to it. You’ll leave each session with greater clarity, practical next steps and a deeper understanding of yourself as a leader.
The patterns you build now, i.e. how you communicate under pressure, how you give feedback, how you show up for your team, are the patterns you’ll lead with for the rest of your career. Getting them right early is one of the most valuable investments a leader can make.
WHAT SHIFTS YOU CAN EXPECT
Imagine this…
- You stop second-guessing yourself and start trusting your judgement
- Difficult conversations stop feeling so difficult
- You respond with intention instead of reacting in the moment
- The people side of leadership becomes less draining and more rewarding
- You understand yourself more deeply, allowing you to lead with confidence and authenticity
- Your team becomes more capable, accountable and engaged because of how you lead
- The impact extends beyond work, influencing cate, connect and show up in every area of your life.
“Your very intentional approach of starting broad, starting holistic and taking a whole of person approach to coaching is something I have found very unique. It worked a treat on me – even if you had me making up pie charts and spreadsheets at times (it certainly wasn’t the engineer in me that drove that). I also enjoyed the laid back nature of our discussions as it beguiles me into opening up more. But at the same time, you don’t hold back in your challenge or questioning and you can get away with that because of the overall easy flow of the conversation.”

“One of my biggest takeaways was learning to focus on what I can control — my own emotions and reactions. That shift alone has empowered me to set healthier boundaries around my personal time and feel more in control when dealing with difficult clients.”
