CLIENT STORY
Ishani shares how coaching transformed her leadership (60 sec).
Read her entire case study here.
Maybe …
You've worked in social impact for 10+ years and taken on more responsibility. You are conscientious, capable, and hardworking.
And you landed a role that reflects your expertise and potential. Yippieh!
On the surface, you’re calm and competent. People might even describe you as strategic, focused, or organised.
But inside, it’s a different story.
You’re putting enormous pressure on yourself - to prove you were the right choice.
You overthink what you say in meetings and may even hold back from voicing an opinion.
You second-guess your decisions.
You want reassurance, but realise: you’re now the boss. There’s no one to reassure you.
Your self-criticism is loud.
You beat yourself up for every mistake.
"Am I doing well?" you ask yourself constantly.
You don’t feel like yourself anymore. And it’s exhausting to keep holding it all together.
You need a new way of showing up. You need to step up.
You have a hunch that the change needs to happen on the inside.
But you don’t know how.
All these moments add up. Ruminating over a piece of feedback from a colleague. Unable to sleep, replaying conversations in your head. Feeling overwhelmed by emotion.
You’ve worked hard to get here, but now you’re doubting your capabilities.
“I am able to approach situations that were once very challenging (both personally and in my work) with more insight, confidence, experience and resilience.”

WHERE DO YOU WANT TO BE?
You want to:
Focus on what matters and let go of the noise. To stop giving weight to unhelpful thoughts or other people’s opinions. Trust your decision-making, feel more relaxed, and be proactive — reaching out for support, sharing your ideas, and showing up as the leader you know you can be.
Be confident and calm when tackling new, unknown tasks — without being hijacked by your inner critic. You want to stop overthinking and start trusting your own instincts. You want to build a sense of self-belief that doesn’t disappear in high-pressure situations.
Voice your opinions and test new ideas assertively. You want to do the hard stuff — speak up in meetings, handle difficult conversations, lead your team — without feeling crushed by doubt or anxiety. You want to be respected without being louder, tougher, or bending over to be someone you’re not.
So you can …
Lead in an authentic way that feels true to you. Not by changing who you are or performing fakely, even in high-pressure situations.
Use your talents to make meaningful change without fear of failure. You’ve finally got a position of influence.
DO YOU NEED COACHING?
You’re the “swim, not sink” type. You’ll power through.
Without coaching, you'll muddle your way forward — work harder, put in longer hours, and eventually feel more in control.
But here’s what else will happen:
The pressure won’t go away.
It will settle into your body, causing stress, sleepless nights, a lack of boundaries, and physical symptoms that are easy to ignore until they’re not.
You’ll survive. The chaos will quieten after a few months. But underneath, nothing will have changed. You’ll still be carrying the same self-doubt. Still avoiding the real root of the anxiety.
And when will the next promotion or opportunity come?
The cycle will start all over again.
Or... you could break the cycle.
With the proper support, you can stop spinning in stress and start leading with clarity. You’ll build self-belief that stays with you — even under pressure. You’ll quiet your inner critic, focus on what matters, and handle challenges without losing yourself. You’ll grow into the role — not by working harder, but by leading with more ease, confidence, and authenticity than you thought possible.
