Leadership at Work

Professional Path

1:1 professional coaching to support you to lead your team, influence the room and share your vision with confidence and authenticity. 

The Professional Path is RIGHT for you if...

  • After most work days you’re left feeling stressed, physically exhausted and at time find it difficult to sleep at night.

  • You can’t stop thinking about conflict or conversations within the team that you feel “didn’t go well”.

  • You are concerned about your overall performance letting the team down.

  • You don't want to speak to your boss or your partner as you worry what they may think.

  • You’re starting to take all this as a direct reflection of your lack of skills and abilities.

  • As a founder or CEO you don't know who to turn to, you feel quite alone.

  • You’re taking more responsibility everyday and this is just not sustainable.

  • You can physically feel it burning inside of you, your mind races, you feel angry and resentful.

  • You’re starting to pull away and distance yourself from your team and your own boss.

  • You don't want to continue like this, you are worried about your own health.

  • Martin lies awake at night feeling stressed, going over conversations with team members that didn't go right. Incidences of conflicts within meetings that he didn't handle well and how the overall performance of the team is going down. He doesn't want to speak to his boss because he knows this is a direct reflection of his managerial skills and abilities, Martin thinks ‘the last boss was better than me’, he takes it personally. He feels hot in his body (physical heat and discomfort) as his mind races, he feels angry and resentful for this team not ‘getting it’, not understanding and not getting on with what they are told. Its like they are purposely, vindictively going against him. “Do they want him fired? Why can't they just do their job, what they are told.

    Martin is full of blame. It feels like fire inside of him

    *Again and again, repeatedly he plays scenes over in his head. He makes connections between different conversations, sideways looks, the despondent sighs, the huffs and puffs of his team, he connects them together to make this big web os paranoia. It feels dark and heavy. He’s really made a mess. He thinks about the words he used, the way he overreacted, he knows it's not how things should be done, though he’s tired, can they see that, he’s really tiring and he needs them to help him out. He watches back in his memory (and regrets) the way he reacted, he was getting tense when things were getting out of (his) control, he should have not reacted. There was just something inside him, something automatic that triggered him. Tiredness and exhaustion, from not sleeping, from the worrying about his part of his job*

    *He thinks about how at the beginning it was easier and fun and now, its tense between relationships, he doesn't trust them and they have stopped trusting me, ‘Kate and John definitely don't trust me, why can they be like Joanna, she gets it.’ He thinks about different people's personalities and ‘why are people so different’. ‘Why are some jerks?’ He’s angry now, he tenses his jaw.

    It’s like he doesn't even know half his team, they have all recoiled back into their head/world, they seems distance, they seem like strangers, worse enemies, “how I am suppose to get through to them, make contact and bring some humanism back into our relationship”

    How can he bring some interaction back?*

    *“Should I just tell them I’m HUMAN AS WELL!! I’m FUCKING STRUGGLING OVER HERE TOO; YEAH LIFE IS SHIT; WORK IS SHIT BUT WE GOTTA SUPPORT EACH OTHER, come on.”*

    *Martin see-saws between victim, give-up, admit defeat…. and Villian, just shout louder, that will motivate them!!*

    *He wishes things to just be be easier, he asks lots of half questions without the time to answer them,

    “maybe i am not good at this part of my job (being a boss)

    Maybe i shouldnt be a boss, i studied engineering this is not what i signed up for!

    “Perhaps i should not do this job? I dont think i wanted it!

    “maybe i am just not cut out of it?“

    “If only they would do what I say then this wouldn't be the issue.”*

    *He don’t really want to take a pay cut, the family (partner and kid) have got used to the money, it brings extra quality of life and He doesn’t want to be demoted! How awful would that be, how embarrassing, Martin ego’s couldnt take that “i would have to leave the company, theres no way, but where else would they put me? I cant go up, i can only go down, this this shitty job I’m doing of this job.” He feel so weak, unsupported and alone.*

    He feels really alone, “who can I ask? I have no one that understands this situation and certainly no one that wants to listen to me complain, winge and whine. I need to find someone external, i need someone who knows what they are doing and can help me. I just feel so weak and feeble, unsure of myself and completely ungrounded”, i feel like I'm in water, but my feet can't touch the bottom, in fact i have no idea how deep this water is, but I’m starting to struggle.” Martin can’t feel any firm ground to get myself together, take a breath and start to get strong enough to make improvements. He is lost, he’s unmoored.*
