LEARN HOW TO BECOME THE LEADER YOU WANT TO BE

(and the one your business needs)

What if you could have greater impact and success, without all the stomach-plunging pressure and anxiety that makes you feel like you're not good enough?

You've come a long way, but you still give yourself a hard time and keep finding yourself asking "Why on earth haven't I got this figured out yet?".

Becoming a leader can be  exhausting and frustrating, and it's all too common to feel pressure, anxiety and fear. Suddenly there are all those eyeballs looking at you with laser-like focus and high expectations. And that's even before your own high standards and sky-high expectations.

Yeah, terrifying. And there’s more besides...

I know how it is...

I totally get it. I've worked on high-profile projects with high expectations. I’ve felt my heart-pounding in my chest as I stood up to deliver a presentation or needed to go against the status quo. And I’d delivered work I thought hit the nail right on the head, but still wondered if everyone would just point and laugh.

I've been thrown in at the deep-end on impossible-seeming projects, wondering if this time, this would be the one I totally screw up on.

But you know what? I got through.

In fact, I flourished.

You see, along with my work as a confidence coach I've spent the last 10+ years freelancing as a Project Director in some of the worlds best digital agencies. Walking through the door, I never know what I'm going to face or what kind of challenge will be thrown at me. All I know is that I'm expected to figure it out fast and get great work done.

I've built a reputation as a safe pair of hands and someone who can be trusted to deliver—even though there have been times when I wondered if I could.

And that's the thing. Self-doubt and second-guessing abound when you're always worrying about what the next right move is or what other people are expecting of you.

I've learned what makes the difference...

The difference, I've learned, is trusting that you have what it takes to figure things out, and that you're good enough to deliver.

Easy to say, another thing entirely to do, right?

Having to lead impossible projects coupled with my experience as a confidence coach, has given me a unique insight into what happens when you walk into a leadership role and feel the pressure to succeed.

So if you still feel pressure, anxiety and fear, despite how far you've come and how capable you are, you're in the perfect place.

I've learned a *lot* working with clients in these situations. I've learned about patterns of thought and behaviour that enable and disable success, I've turned things that worked for me into tools that work for my clients, and I've learned things that help me in my own life .

I've looked closely at the tools, insights and strategies that make a tangible difference and have built a course that delivers on the promise of being a naturally confident leader and dealing with those fears and anxieties that get in your way.

Every single one of these elements come together into a whole that's greater than the sum of the parts. That's the beauty of it, everything working together and building on each other, all with the singular focus of trading the pressure, fear and anxiety you experience with freedom, flow and confidence.

See, confidence isn’t a nice-to-have or an elective. Not if you want to do great work and have a truly successful career (and life).

Confidence is the vehicle for meaningful work and meaningful success. Without it, you’ll be more likely to fall into the common traps that diminish your self-esteem and efficacy.

Have you tried leadership courses before?

Leadership courses are ten a penny. Some are good. Most are forgettable.

Which is why this isn't a leadership course. It's a confidence course, for leaders.

I'm not teaching you how to be an effective leader, how to deliver a great presentation, how to run an effective meeting or how to own the room. I have little interest in that stuff. What I am interested in, is your self-confidence.

And in case you're rolling your eyes and thinking, "Steve, it's all that stuff you just said you don't teach that I want", well, I get that too. I get that it's frustrating when you want to be better at what you do. I get that maybe you've tried leadership courses before and found they didn't quite deliver or didn't stick. I get that sometimes you wonder if you'll finally crack this leadership thing.

And here's why I believe, firmly, wholly and passionately, that confidence is the missing, central piece that anchors everything else.

Think of confidence as the secret ingredient. Your secret sauce. It's the quality that allows you to trust yourself, to make meaningful choices when you don't have all the answers, and to deal with whatever comes at you.

If I didn't know how it worked, I'd probably think confidence was some kind of magic.
