Unleash Your Leadership
Executive Coaching Programme
If you’re interested in development for leaders in your organisation, rather than for yourself, please visit this page.
Does this sound like you?
- Are you a Director or functional head, recently promoted or facing a new leadership challenge?
- Are you feeling overwhelmed by demands from all directions, working all hours and wondering how you’re going to keep on top of everything, let alone drive strategic priorities?
- Do you need your team to take on more but don’t want to overload or alienate them? Or perhaps you’re finding it hard to step away from what you’re familiar with?
- Are you finding yourself in situations with senior stakeholders where you feel unprepared or out of your depth?
- Are you battling with impostor syndrome? Maybe in your darkest moments, you’re worried you haven’t got what it takes to be a leader?
If so, I can help you.
As you become more senior and step into leadership roles, it can feel like everyone wants a piece of you. You want to make an impact, but you seem to spend most of your time dealing with other people’s demands.
You’re expected to lead change but keep on top of the day-to-day and make your numbers. You’re required to inspire and engage your team to peak performance, but battle with lack of resource. You’re called on to share your opinions and insights while ensuring they’re grounded in data.
And all the time, you’re afraid of the consequences of saying or doing something wrong on your reputation and your career.
The good news is that you have everything you need to become a confident, successful leader. You just need help to unlock it.
Join me on a journey to unleash your leadership
The Unleash Your Leadership Executive Coaching Programme is a fully virtual, 1-1 coaching experience with me, Alison Reid, where I will work closely with you for a period of 12 months.
I will empower and enable you to focus on what matters, stay calm and effective under pressure and communicate with impact so you can lead yourself and others to great results.
Your journey will be unique to you
Where is most familiar to you on this ladder? Your degree of confidence fluctuates depending on the situations you face and where you’re at in your career. Being promoted to a leadership role or taking on new responsibilities can take you out of your comfort zone and send you back down the ladder into doubt, overwhelm and even panic.
This programme will help you get back up the ladder so you can maximise your leadership impact and make a success of your role.
Ultimately, you will feel and act like a leader, confident in your abilities,
leading yourself and others to great results.
This coaching experience will be bespoke to your needs and these are examples of how I can help you maximise your leadership impact :
- Understand how and why stress manifests for you and learn practical strategies to stay calm and effective under pressure.
- Clarify what’s important and develop strategies to focus on what matters and let go of what doesn’t
- Empower your team to perform at their best, creating bandwidth so you can get out of the weeds and focus on strategic priorities.
- Communicate impactfully with team members, colleagues, senior stakeholders and clients
- Manage your time and energy effectively including setting and managing your boundaries
- Confidently share your opinion with senior stakeholders where you are not the subject matter expert
- Navigate ambiguity and uncertainty with self-assurance in the knowledge that there is no definitive answer or solution
- Feel confident in yourself as a leader so you can worry less and achieve more

At the core of this programme are the essential resources that we will work with to help you unleash your leadership.
As we work together, we will help you master your mind, engage your body and speak your voice in service of unlocking your confidence, influence and impact. Alongside this, we will work with a three-step process grounded in neuroscience to design and practise new behaviours which will achieve your desired outcomes.
