Grow into the leader you are ready to become.
A leadership development program for emerging leaders who want to grow their influence, inspire others and lead with purpose.
​
The shift into leadership is exciting and demanding.
You are expected to guide others, manage complexity and deliver results. Often without the training, tools or space to grow into the role fully.
The pressure builds quickly. Stakeholders expect more. Clients are more demanding. The pace never slows.
You juggle what your team needs, shifting priorities and internal dynamics. And all the while, you’re trying to figure out what kind of leader you want to be.
Leadership doesn’t come with a manual. It can come with the right support.
My Rising Leader Program helps you build the mindset, tools and confidence to lead with impact and grow into the leader you are ready to become.
To get to the next level, all you need is the right leadership coach.
The leader you become
This program isn’t about learning how to copy someone else’s leadership style. It’s about discovering and growing into your own.
​
The journey you take in this program leads to more than just skills. It leads to a shift in how you see yourself and how others experience you.
​
You become the kind of leader who:
-
Speaks with clarity and is heard
-
Earns trust. Not just from your team, but from peers and senior leaders
-
Knows how to navigate pressure without losing focus
-
Coaches and supports others without needing all the answers
-
Feels grounded in your values, even when the pace is high
-
Understands how to influence outcomes, not just deliver tasks
-
Leads yourself with the same integrity and care you give to others
This is where real leadership begins. Not with perfection, but with presence, self-awareness and the confidence to keep growing.
How the leadership coaching process looks like
The Rising Leader Program is built around five core competencies that form the foundation of influential leadership.
These five competencies - the 5Cs - are what allow leaders at every level to show up with purpose, engage others and lead real progress. I call it my 5C coaching model.
How the program works
The program is a high-impact coaching journey designed to help you grown in both confidence and competence. It is grounded in the latest neuroscience and leadership research.
​
It is structured, personalised and grounded in real-world leadership challenges. This is not a course. It is a development experience.
​
You'll grow through a combination of deep insight, real-time practice and tailored support. What's included:
​​
Rising Leader Profile (ILP)
Complete a robust assessment of your leadership competencies with actionable feedback on the key traits that drive business impact. We will review your profile in a dedicated 90-minute session, highlighting strengths, growth areas, and priorities for your coaching journey.
​
​
Objective & Key Results (OKR) Setting
Together, we identify 1-2 focus areas aligned with your goals and current challenges. These guide the coaching journey and connect your learning with real outcomes.
​
​
Rising Leader Coaching
Regular one-to-one coaching sessions focused on your specific goals, challenges and opportunities. These sessions help you apply what you learn in real time.​
​
​
Pocket Coaching (optional)
On-the-go support via WhatsApp or Signal. Giving you direct access for quick guidance between sessions, so leadership support is always within your reach.
​
​​
Resources and Tools
You'll receive guided reflection prompts, a leadership field book and short tools to help integrate the work between sessions.
​
​
Final Review and Next Steps
At the end of the program, we review your growth and define next steps. So your development continues long after the program ends.
​
Who is the program for
The Rising Leader Program is designed for emerging leaders in international organisations and businesses.
​
It is for professionals who are stepping into more responsibility and want to grow in confidence, clarity and leadership impact.
​
You are an emerging leader and:
-
You want to build the confidence and capability to lead others and lead yourself more effectively.
-
Are you in your first leadership role and figuring out how to manage people, not just tasks?
-
Do you want to increase your visibility and influence, but aren’t sure where to start?
-
Are you navigating feedback, pushback and high expectations, sometimes without a roadmap?
-
Do you want to find your own voice as a leader, instead of trying to imitate someone else?
-
Are you ready to grow, but need more structure and support?
For the past 25+ years, I’ve worked with large, multinational organizations and have been a leader myself. I've been in your shoes.
​
If you are a senior leader, please go to the Influential Leader Program.
The impact of becoming a more confident and connected leader
The program helps you grow into a leader who:
-
Feels clear, calm and confident in how they show up
-
Has stronger relationships with peers, managers and team members
-
Knows how to lead conversations that influence, align and inspire
-
Is more resilient and better able to navigate change
-
Leads others while staying connected to themselves
This is the kind of leadership that creates energy and not just results.
It is also the kind of leadership organisations need most right now.
