Shine Coaching

Aspiring to change the world of leadership – one overwhelmed woman at a time You’ve recently been promoted to a senior role and at first it was exciting – but instead of feeling proud of your achievement you feel out of your depth. The strong bond with your team is now a strained and distant relationship – communication has all but broken down and you don’t get the information or support you need. You’re no longer sure how to get stuff done so you work evenings and weekends because you don’t want to let anyone down. You’re anxious before a high-level meeting because you feel underprepared, or you procrastinate and put stuff off because you’re worried about making a decision. You lay awake at night because you don’t have all the answers and you worry that people will think you can’t do your job; or you don’t speak up in meetings because you don’t want to say the wrong thing. The problem is you feel isolated and you’re struggling to adapt to your new situation. As a leader who started as a Manager and was promoted to Managing Director, I know how hard it is – up to half of all leadership transitions are considered a failure or disappointment within the first two years. I don’t want your promotion to add to those statistics. You weren’t “lucky” to get this role, you didn’t just “land” it - you’re the right woman for the job. Five years ago, I was where you are now and what you feel is normal: more than half of female leaders experience high levels of ‘imposter feelings’. I can also tell you that you can become as confident and as comfortable in this job as you were in your last. I am passionate about helping you and want you to feel heard, supported, motivated and inspired. You have the ability and the answers - and the most rewarding part of my work is helping you find them. Ready to fully step into your new role?
