THE 3 REASONS WOMEN STRUGGLE WITH STEPPING UP INTO LEADERSHIP
LOW CONFIDENCE
…or impostor syndrome keeps women stuck where they are, or feeling like a fraud when they do progress.
LACK OF CLARITY
Uncertainty on their future impacts their ability to move forward, keeping them stuck in the present.
VISIBILITY ANXIETY
The thought of being seen and heard in an organisation can cause high levels of stress and anxiety for many women, affecting their influence and impact.
LACK OF BALANCE
When women feel overwhelmed with a lack of control and healthy boundaries, they can feel a resistance to a more senior role as a result.
HOW WE GET RESULTS
MINDSET TECHNIQUES
…and reframing to build confidence.

ASSERTIVENESS SKILLS
…and stress management techniques to support better boundaries.

We recently helped one client to improve confidence and visibility of their female leaders by +36%, with a 95% satisfaction rating, but there’s more…
“I have had the luxury of working with some great coaches over the course of my career, but Lauren has had the most positive impact. Her approach focusses on going above and beyond the superficial; identifying the root cause of ongoing limiting self-beliefs before smashing them to a thousand tiny pieces.”
“I’m now very comfortable being visible and taking up space, and I’m clear on what my leadership style brings to the table. You’re a miracle worker.”
“Working with Lauren has been a refreshing and confidence building experience. She has offered an environment that has addressed all aspect of my wellbeing and offered incredible guidance to help me get clarity and confidence in my career journey to success.”
“Off the back of Lauren’s coaching, I feel I have a clear purpose, plan, drive, and that I genuinely can achieve my goals. Which are now, quite rightly, bigger than they were a year ago. I know the next chapter of my career will be the most fullfilling and successful and I couldn’t have done that without Lauren.”
