It can be lonely at the top….
Very few people have a deep understanding of the complex responsibilities, nuanced politics and high-pressure demands of leading people, budgets and organisations to success.
- Friends and family rarely have an insight into the responsibilities and complexities of top leadership.
- The shape and scale of pressure can bring a level of stress that many people don’t fully understand.
- We sometimes develop associated lifestyle habits and behaviours that don’t serve us.
- We use so much of our energy up on the demands of the working environment that it can feel like there is little left for our home life and non-work relationships and responsibilities.
- Team members are looking to you for direction, answers, resilience and performance that you sometimes don’t feel you have.
- Things can feel personal, and now matter how much you rationalise it, being the decision maker that can’t please all of the people all of the time can create fears of not being liked, of being judged or just a general paranoia.
They invested in themselves and achieved incredible results. What's stopping you?
“I had stepped up to a much bigger role in the organisation and was facing quite a political environment and I was struggling to deal with it, causing me to feel uneasy, quite anxious.
As a critical thinker, I was a bit skeptical about what this might entail and whether or not it would work, but chose to give it my all anyway and trust, because I had nothing to lose and because I trusted all the work that we've done so far and the results that I'd got and how I felt... And the results were just transformational.
The sooner you do it, the better you'll feel and you'll see the results… I just can't advocate for it anymore! It's been brilliant, really brilliant! And I would suggest anybody would take part... I wish I'd done it sooner.”
Steph Davis
"I felt that I had to prove I was good enough for the role I was in... I questioned the value I brought to the role I did... the work we did together was phenomenal... I've realised I am worthy... created boundaries, realised I can make choices and have created the element of control...
The confidence (from coaching) has made me gain, is worth the investment... don't underestimate the impact and power of it!
If I had know the impact it would've made on me, I would have done it so much sooner in my career."
Vicky Walker
“I would like to thank Victoria for the time spent with me during this transition process. I started the journey with set of emotions that were holding me to comfort zone in different aspects of my life, then ended the journey with different set of emotions that is allowing me to keep expanding and growing. It was incredible shift in my life done together.
I’m genuinely grateful to Victoria.”
Hala Al Garni - People & Organisation Manager
"I got a better understanding of the type of person I am... I received a framework which I return to frequently... I'm confident that with the support and coaching I've had that I'm better than I would've otherwise have been."
Roland Chavasse
"Victoria helped me understand how to confidently value myself and my worth to my employer... to assess the dynamics within my firm and my interactions with senior management, as well as by aiding in defining what was important to me in my career.... the opportunity to learn about and discuss best practice management techniques will prove priceless in the immediate future."
