What is Leadership Development?

She paused and said, “What exactly is leadership development?”

It caught me off guard, in a really good way. I’d never been asked that question so directly. Leadership development isn’t just about skills, strategies, frameworks, or performance at work.

Most of my clients hold leadership roles, but I don’t coach titles or positions.

I coach humans. From the inside out.

We work on self-awareness. Unlearning patterns that no longer serve. Values, boundaries, clarity, confidence, energy management and emotional intelligence. 

Because when the human transforms, the leader transforms too. And, that doesn’t just show up in our professional lives. 

It shows up in how we communicate.
How we handle conflict.
How we listen.
How we respond vs react.
How are empathy, compassion, vulnerability, authenticity shine through.
How we show up in relationships of all kinds.

Leadership isn’t something you switch on at work and off at home.

It’s who you are.

When you develop the human first, leadership naturally follows everywhere.
