Grow Into a Confident,
Coach-Like Leader
Join Thriving Leaders Circle, the group program designed for managers who are ready to move up and make a bigger impact in their role.
Are you tired of being left to “figure it out as you go”?
Are you tired of
being left to
"figure it out as you go"?
You started your career as an individual contributor, and you were good…really good.
So, you got noticed. You got promoted. And now you’re a leader.
But there wasn’t much training or guidance about how to succeed in this new leadership role. More often than you want to admit, you feel like you don’t belong in this role. Like you’re faking it.
Meanwhile, everyone around you assumes you will figure it out along the way. After all, that’s how they learned to be leaders.
You’re smart, capable, and learning fast. But you’ve noticed gaps in your leadership know-how that you’re not sure how to fill, or team tensions that you’re not sure how to resolve.
Some days you still question if you’re cut out for this…
But you’re not alone!
It's a universal experience
This story of newer leaders jumping (or being tossed) into the deep end of the pool without a life preserver is one we’ve heard hundreds of times from clients.
It’s the story of my early leadership journey. In coaching other leaders, I’ve found it’s nearly universal.
Even when there are “leadership development” programs in place, most newer leaders struggle during the critical transition from individual performer to leading a team.
If you’re like so many in this situation, you’ve probably thought something like:
- I don’t know how to delegate effectively, and that leaves me stuck in the weeds of the day-to-day work.
I want to empower my team and help them develop, but I’m not sure how. - I’m hearing feedback that I’m micro-managing. But if I don’t keep a tight grip on the details, I just know our standards will drop. That is unacceptable to me.
- I know I need to be thinking more strategically, but there’s no time!
- I get overwhelmed by the people who work with me, all their different personalities and their needs.
- I was so good as an individual contributor, but now I sometimes feel like I’m failing. I don’t feel confident as a leader.
- If I can’t figure this out soon, I won’t be able to advance into bigger leadership roles.
- I don’t want to fail my co-workers or the company. There’s so much riding on me getting this right.
What would change if…
You had a coach who could help you find the best solutions to your stickiest leadership challenges?
You could get advice and feedback from a community of peers who are dealing with similar issues?
You had on-demand training that was fine-tuned to address the exact problems that newer leaders face?

The story behind Thriving Leaders Circle
Coaching is a second act for me, a bold pivot after a successful 30-year marketing career. I am a Certified Professional Coactive Coach (CPCC) as well as a Certified Positive Intelligence Coach (CPQC), and work with leaders in both one-on-one and group settings.
Thriving Leaders Circle is my flagship program, created to give newer leaders the skills and confidence to truly excel as they learn from me as well as their peers within a supportive environment.
I led the first Thriving Leaders Circle in March of 2023. Together with that first group of Thrivers, I dialed in the details and fine-tuned the program. Since the start, I’ve run a total of six cohorts, with overwhelmingly positive results.
Without exception, 100% of the participants who applied themselves and did the work in Thriving Leaders Circle reported they became more confident in their leadership role. They learned how to be less directive and more coach-like in their management style. And they gained specific frameworks and models for leadership skills like delegation and feedback that they can refer to anytime they need them.
I’ve also received feedback from CEOs and Executive Directors who noticed how the Thriving Leaders Circle experience impacted their team members. Several of them have continued to enroll additional team members, because they know it works!
Back when I was leading a marketing team, working with a coach completely transformed my leadership style and changed my life forever. I’m incredibly grateful that I now get to help others as my coach helped me, and create meaningful change in others’ lives.
You’ve got questions… I’ve got answers!
Is it Time to Join the Circle?
You're busy. I get it. You're looking at your calendar, wondering if this is the right time to join Thriving Leaders Circle and make a 6-month commitment.
I can’t answer that for you. But I can tell you this: We all make time for what's most important to us.
How important is it to know, without a doubt, that you can get the support and guidance you need to become a more confident, capable leader?
If it’s not that important to you, then joining Thriving Leaders Circle probably isn’t the best move right now.
But if you’ve been figuring out everything on your own and want to truly connect with your full potential, then stop putting off your own growth and step into the circle!
