Do you need to make the shift from newly promoted to nailing your leadership role?

Have you been promoted into a management or leadership role for the first time and found yourself lacking the confidence you’d like to have about how to do it right? Are you struggling with some (or all) of the following?

• You question yourself on how to approach things and hold back for fear of getting it wrong
• You know what kind of a manager you don’t want to be but that isn’t helping you figure out how you do want to operate
• You’re on the receiving end of feedback or criticism from your boss that you need to be more decisive, be firmer or address issues more quickly. You’re anxious about how to get the balance between ‘not enough’ and ‘too much’
• You wish your team was more motivated and would show more initiative. You feel like you’re having to do too much of their thinking for them and there are niggles between team members that sap your energy
• You know you’re good at the technical elements of your job, you just wish you could have the same confidence about the management side
• You’re ambitious; you know that if you can’t get this nailed then you won’t get the next opportunity

Would you like to be able to handle things confidently and under your own steam rather than have to escalate them to your boss? To tackle things as they come up without them draining your energy or creating anxiety and stress?

How would it feel to have a motivated, engaged team who are getting the kind of results that are getting you and them noticed?

What if you could stop worrying about the lack of a leadership rulebook because you know you’re confidently nailing the management side of your role just as well as the technical side

I’m Jacqui, and this is exactly what I help people achieve through the Practical Leadership Academy. Early in my career I got a number of promotions in quick succession. Each time, I faced the same challenges. How to hit the ground running, how to build a team, and how to be assertive without being seen as a bull in a china shop

It was fly by the seat of my pants trying to develop myself to be the confident leader and manager I wanted to be. I struck lucky with some approaches, but I also got a lot wrong

I’d seen the bosses I didn’t want to be like, but I didn’t have a role model to emulate because the bosses I admired were different from me. I had to find my own way to lead and manage. As a result, I read books, listened to podcasts and tried to find my own way through until I got to the stage where the business I was working for invested in supporting me

The Practical Leadership Academy is what I wish I’d had back then. A structured approach to help you navigate the path from technical expert to confident leader
