5 insights from coaching leaders and entrepreneurs

After years of working with, and coaching leaders across different industries, here are a few key insights that keep showing up:

• The biggest breakthroughs often come from asking simpler questions, not finding complex answers. Sometimes asking "𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵?" creates more clarity than a 20-page strategy deck.

• Success and isolation often go hand in hand. Many entrepreneurs and senior leaders struggle with finding genuine connections where they can be vulnerable and honest about their challenges.

• The higher you climb, the more critical self-awareness becomes. Leaders who invest in understanding themselves and their impact create stronger relationships.

• The best leaders know when to speed up and when to slow down. Creating space for reflection often leads to better decisions in the long run, and avoids burnout from constant (sometimes meaningless) action.

• Imposter syndrome doesn't disappear with success - it just changes form. Even the most accomplished leaders need reminding of their capabilities and innate resources.

Leadership is an ongoing journey of growth and transformation. It isn’t just about reaching goals, it’s about building authentic connections, self-awareness, and resilience. And it’s lovely to see leaders embrace the courage to be both vulnerable and authentic.

Outside great leadership looks clear, bold and empowering but inside it can feel intense, uncertain and very messy. If you're interested in coaching to understand more about yourself, and your impact, say hello 👋
