Welcome to The Practical Leadership Academy
You're in the right place if you're a leader or manager who needs support to make the transition from technical expert to confident leader
I'm Jacqui, and I'm a Leadership & Mindset coach and the founder of The Practical Leadership Academy. My approach, whether through coaching or training, is to support leaders and managers to build confidence as well as capability
My background spans senior roles across Operations, HR and L&D and includes experience in banking, retail, hospitality and engineering
Based on those experiences, I have a particular passion for supporting leadership capability development within founder led SMEs. Typically in these environments, managers are often promoted internally and the impact of whether or not they are able to make a successful transition into their new role is magnified
I love to keep things simple rather than complex, and to provide clients with practical, implementable tools and frameworks that make leadership and management of others enjoyable rather than a challenge
