Shift Left for Success

1:1 leadership coaching for female tech leads ready to build on their success, strengthen their impact and influence, and take the next step in their leadership career.

You're already good at what you do. You've built your technical credibility, taken on more responsibility, and you're probably the person others rely on to get things done.

But progressing into more senior leadership isn't just about being technically good at your job.

It's about how you communicate. How you influence. How you make decisions. How you handle challenges. How visible you are. And whether the people around you see you as ready for the next level.

And sometimes, despite knowing you're capable, you can find yourself second-guessing decisions, working harder to prove your value, avoiding the difficult conversation or wondering why you're not having the impact you know you could have.

That's what we work on.

Shift Left for Success gives you dedicated space to work out what you want next, understand what's getting in the way and make practical changes to how you lead, communicate and show up at work.

Not by turning you into somebody else's version of a leader.

By helping you become more effective as the leader you already are.

WHAT MIGHT WE WORK ON?

The coaching is built around you, your role and what is actually happening at work.

This isn't a generic leadership course. This is coaching focused on where you are NOW, where you want to be and what's getting in the way.

That might include:

  • having greater impact and influence with senior leaders and stakeholders

  • speaking up and making your voice heard without feeling you have to become the loudest person in the room

  • making decisions with greater confidence and spending less time second-guessing yourself

  • handling difficult conversations, challenge and conflict

  • making sure your contribution and impact are visible to the people who matter

  • understanding what's really getting in the way of your progression

  • stepping into greater leadership responsibility without believing you have to become someone you're not

This isn't coaching that sits separately from your job or where you are in life.

We work with what's actually happening — the conversations, decisions, relationships, frustrations and opportunities you're dealing with right now.

So you can start doing things differently while we're working together, not six months afterwards.

WHAT DOES SHIFT LEFT FOR SUCCESS LOOK LIKE?

This is not a quick fix or a couple of conversations and off you go.

We work together over approximately six months, giving you time to make changes, try things out, work through what happens as a result and keep building from there.

You'll get:

  • 10 individual 1:1 coaching sessions

  • A 90-minute first session, followed by nine 60-minute sessions

  • Sessions usually held fortnightly, with flexibility where it makes sense

  • Your Women's PowerTypes™ Profile, which we'll use to explore your strengths, patterns and how you show up at work

  • Coaching focused on the real situations you're dealing with, not hypothetical leadership scenarios

  • Space between sessions to put things into practice, see what happens and bring that back into our next conversation

Many organisations have budgets for coaching, leadership and professional development. You may need to make the case for why investing in your coaching is also an investment in the business.

SO, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE DIFFERENT SIX MONTHS FROM NOW?

Maybe you already know exactly what you want next.

Or maybe you know you don't want to be dealing with the same frustrations, second-guessing the same decisions or wondering why you're not progressing in the way you know you're capable of.

We can start there.

Book a call with me and we'll talk about where you are NOW, where you want to be and what's getting in the way.

We'll also work out whether I'm the right coach for you.

“I did Susan's programme and I can honestly say it's been a game changer for me. Susan's approach is really empowering for women and gets under the skin of some of those deep-rooted limiting beliefs that were certainly holding me back. With Susan's help, I've identified what enough looks like for me and devised a vision and plan for how to get it, supported by some of the techniques and tools Susan has equipped me with. Highly recommended”
