Why the Leadership Landscape Has Changed
Let’s face it—leading today is no walk in the park. Things move fast, uncertainty is the norm, and the pressure never seems to let up. According to Deloitte, 60% of leaders report feeling overwhelmed by the complexity of their roles. Microsoft talks about "decision fatigue" as a real issue, and a recent Gartner survey found that 70% of executives are feeling burnt out. This is what leadership looks like in a VUCA world—volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous. Traditional leadership approaches don’t cut it anymore.
​
To lead well now, it’s not just about what you know—it’s about who you are. Emotional intelligence, resilience, and mental agility are the real differentiators. Research supports this: leaders who can handle ambiguity, think critically, and help their teams navigate change are the ones who thrive. That’s where coaching comes in.
I work with leaders to move beyond surface-level approaches. Coaching that helps them build lasting traits—such as emotional agility, adaptability, and authentic presence—that make a lasting impact. It's not just about solving today’s problems; it’s about becoming the kind of leader who can navigate whatever comes next with clarity, confidence and purpose.
When organisations invest in coaching, they’re not just supporting individuals—they’re creating stronger leadership cultures. Coaching provides leaders with the space to pause, reflect, grow, and lead more intentionally. Increasingly, executive coaching is not a nice-to-have. It’s a must.
Take a Developmental Coaching Approach
Even the best leaders hit roadblocks. Whether it’s reacting too quickly, getting stuck in rigid thinking, or just running on empty, these patterns can limit impact. Evidence-based coaching helps break these cycles.
​
I help leaders overcome three common barriers to effectiveness: reactivity, rigidity, and a lack of resilience. In high-stakes environments, leaders can fall into patterns that limit their performance—repeating reactive behaviours, rigid thinking that allows biases to emerge, or becoming emotionally drained. I support leaders in breaking these patterns and building the internal capacity needed to lead with confidence and clarity. Executive coaching that can help them become more self-aware, more aligned with their values, and better at making more thoughtful moves and decisions—even in high-pressure situations.
​
I use a developmental coaching approach that goes beyond surface-level change. Frameworks like "Immunity to Change " help leaders identify the root of what holds them back, enabling genuine growth. Research shows that the most effective leaders in complex environments are the ones who’ve developed a deeper way of thinking and leading.
​
The goal? To help you grow your capacity. You’ll move from reactive to purposeful, from rigid to adaptable, from exhausted to sustainable. Coaching becomes a powerful catalyst for more profound impact and better leadership.
No matter what challenge you’re facing—whether it's growth, change, or team dynamics—coaching provides you with the mindset and tools to handle it effectively.
Help You Thrive in Complexity and Uncertainty
I have developed the CLEAR leadership framework for executive coaching —a practical, research-backed model designed for the realities of modern leadership.
​
CLEAR is an integrated leadership model that stands for:
Clarity, Learning Agility, Emotional Regulation, Adaptability, and Resilience.
​
-
Clarity helps you recognise signals from the noise, get grounded in your purpose, and make more intentional choices.
-
Learning Agility is about navigating the unknown with curiosity, a growth mindset, and embracing experimentation and feedback in real-time.
-
Emotional Regulation is about handling emotions wisely—not ignoring them or being ruled by them. You’ll learn to respond rather than react.
-
Adaptability means unlearning rigid patterns and embracing growth. It’s about leading through change with flexibility and curiosity.
-
Resilience helps you protect your energy, bounce back from setbacks, and stay steady, especially when things get tough.
This framework supports what’s called vertical development—helping you grow how you think, not just what you do. It draws on evidence-based methods, including the role of psychological flexibility, to support leaders in making the mindset shift necessary for thriving.
Whether you’re scaling a company, leading a team through change, or just feeling the pressure of today’s demands, the CLEAR™ coaching journey gives you a powerful path forward.
