Step into Leadership

Private 1:1 Coaching tailored especially for you

“The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness”

The Intent

Stepping into leadership means:

  • Awakening to your purpose

  • Clarifying who you are and who you are becoming

  • Confronting the beliefs that keep you from living authentically

  • Activating and developing your creative capacities

  • Stepping into a more powerful, confident and consciously held form of leadership

  • Walking towards your goals with alignment, focus and intent

The Approach

Together, we design a unique coaching plan that meets you where you are on your developmental journey and offers the right balance of coaching, challenge and support needed to unlock your next level of growth.

While specific in focus, this programme is fluid enough to flex and adapt as you learn, gain clarity and uncover new questions.

The Coaching Plan

There are no limits when designing a bespoke ‘Step into Leadership’ coaching plan: it all comes down to your goals, commitment and investment.

Example Programme

Jack’s Journey

To illustrate how a 1:1 programme might look, here is one created for a recent client. Let’s call him Jack.

When Jack contacted me, he had an overpowering yearning to play an even bigger game in his life, his work and the world at large; a game which feels authentic, aligned and resonant with who Jack is and the leader he wants to grow into.

Following an in-depth discovery conversation, we mapped out a coaching journey that had five significant outcomes:

  1. Create an Evolving Vision for Your Life and Work

  2. Grow into the Leader You Most Want to Be

  3. Plant the Seeds of Your Bigger Leadership Game

  4. Maximise Your Impact as You Do Your Great Work

  5. Cultivate Resilience for the Journey Ahead

We set out to work with these topics within a holistic, systems-led framework of understanding ‘leadership as relationship’, rippling from the self to all other systems that Jack touches. We also centred consciousness, universal wisdom and a sense of the sacred into our work together so that his future may bring deep, personal satisfaction.

The Programme Practicalities

As an adventurer all his life, Jack highly values his time in the outdoors and how much it aligns with a deep love of nature, spirituality and a personal interest in indigenous wisdom in action. Our coaching work together would incorporate a range of nature-based practices and concepts to enrich and inform his learning, also having a transformative effect on his own personal development and consciousness. 

The time frame of this programme ran over nine months.

The key elements consisted of:

  • 1. 1-Day Visioning Retreat in Nature

    His coaching journey began by spending one whole day with me, in person, at a beautiful, secluded spot in nature. This day centred around a Nature Wisdom Walk (insert link to relevant blog), an experience which is founded in one of the most ancient, sacred human practices and is a purposeful, solo wander in nature taken with the intent to arrive at new insight, inspiration and guidance in response to a critical enquiry.

  • 2. Virtual Coaching via Zoom

    The regular coaching sessions that followed provided a reflective container for us to work coactively on Jack’s experience as it unfolded. They offered a customised combination of coaching and any necessary teaching of concepts that sit at the leading edge of leadership development and draw from the rapidly expanding fields of eco-psychology, neuro-biology and somatics.

    Sessions took place twice a month for eight months for approximately 1-hour. Before each session, Jack would send me a journal extract capturing what he’d been working on for me to review in depth.

  • 3. Field walks and work

    Jack would take a solo (insert link to relevant blog) reflective walk in nature before or after our coaching calls. He would do structured reflection and journalling around these walks and send me extracts to review and discuss later. In line with best coaching practice, we intended to deepen the learning and bring forward action from his field walks and work experiences.

  • 4. Additional Learning Resources

    To help immerse Jack more deeply into certain areas of our coaching, I sent book recommendations, articles and video links, all selected to complement his learning process and to offer additional insight or perspectives.
