Luminous Leader
In this bespoke, 1-to-1 coaching series, we work together to develop your authentic leadership style, and explore new ways for you to navigate challenge and change. You transform the way you speak, listen and connect, on and off stage, increasing your impact tenfold.
Being yourself whilst being in charge.
Leading a team or an organisation in the right direction can feel like walking a tightrope. It’s both exhilarating and exhausting to take on that level of responsibility. You’re constantly balancing staying connected to yourself and your values, whilst also staying connected to your stakeholders, in ever-changing circumstances. In these sessions, we work on finding your balance and increasing your impact as a communicator, by strengthening your ability to stay connected and to remain agile, so that together you may achieve great things.
Client case examples
Wondering what kind of leadership questions I can help you with? These are three real-life client examples you may recognise yourself in.
NEW LEADER ON THE BLOCK
You’re the new guy/gal in town and you’re trying to make new friends and learn to navigate the place, pronto! We explore how your leadership style needs to evolve to match this new role, what values and priorities you want to steer on, what stories you need to tell and which relationships you need to nurture. Mostly importantly: we focus on how you can do all this in a way that is both effective and authentic.
BIG CHANGES AHOY!
A big shift is happening in your organisation, and you’re (one of the) leaders tasked with guiding your people through it. There are many unknowns in this process. You need to bring people together and motivate them to keep going with a clear vision story that bridges the uncomfortable present and an exciting future. I support you to stay on message, stay agile and stay connected with the people you need the most.
STAKEHOLDER STALEMATE
You’re stuck. However many arguments or spreadsheets you put before them, your stakeholders and you just can’t seem to see eye to eye. It’s very frustrating to keep hitting that wall of ‘NO’. You need to find a way out of this together and time is running out, too. You’re in need of a new people strategy and a compelling story to break through the impasse and shine a light on a new path forward, together.
This is for you if…
… you’re looking for a mind-shift in how you connect with others. You want to understand people’s motivations – as well as your own! – much better. You want to learn how to have more fruitful conversations with stakeholders. You want to expand your communication toolkit a leader. You want to find your own answer to what it really means to be a luminous leader, and put that into practise every day.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
- Become a Master Communicator
- Practise deep listening & open questioning
- Learn to have better stakeholder conversations
- Explore new ways to look at problems
- Keep your friends close, and your values closer
- Use the power of storytelling to get people on board
- Learn how to transform resistance into collaboration
Here’s how it all breaks down
In this bespoke coaching series, we talk, do fun and mind-opening exercises, work with case studies, practise storylines, prepare meetings and presentations and boost your emotional intelligence. You leave feeling reconnected and reinvigorated, ready to handle whatever’s coming your way.
- We plan a 30 minute intake call where we set the goals and the tone for our sessions. We plan our sessions, preferably in person, online if needs be. I then prepare a bespoke program for our sessions and send over a first, thought-provoking exercise.
- We buckle up and get to work in our 1-to-1 sessions: each 3 hours long, they’re designed to be a bootcamp for your brain and a deep stretch for your heart. You will get homework. It won’t always be easy, but it will be worth it.
- I offer support in between sessions via voice-message & text, where I can help you get unstuck pronto, if you’ve momentarily lost the plot. You can rant or rejoice in the privacy of our whatsapp chat.
- A month after our last session, we have a debrief call for reflection, lessons learned, and next steps for you to keep the momentum going as a leader.

You’ve got questions. I’ve got answers.
What makes Luminous Leader different?
In our sessions, you’ll experience a combination of communication strategy, mindset coaching and people skills training that will help you evolve on three crucial levels: your message, your stakeholder relationships and your mindset. It’s that hat trick of bespoke support that helps you rise to challenges like these. BONUS: with my voice-message support in between sessions you’ll have me as your personal coach in your back-pocket for support during impromptu brainwaves or breakdowns.
How soon can we start?
I usually have space to start a Luminous Leader coaching arc within the month. After our intake call and our mutual ‘yup, let’s do this’, we plan out the practical details i.e. location, time schedule and other practicalities.
What kind of methods do you use?
In these sessions and workshops, I use my Perspective method, that I created based on my 12 years experience as a coach. This will be an aid to explore your feelings and ideas, mirror your behaviours, and get creative juices flowing. I combine my own insights with well-known coaching techniques such as voice dialogue, narrative therapy, mindfulness, theatre exercises, neuroscience based thought-experiments, artistic explorations and creative brainstorm techniques.
What guarantees can you give me?
I can guarantee fun will be had, feelings will be felt, and new ways to communicate will be learned. You will seriously upgrade your people-skills toolkit. I guarantee you will know and understand yourself – and other people – better. And that you’ll walk away with fresh ways to approach challenges differently. I can’t guarantee all your questions will be resolved in a day, or relationships fixed. But I can give fresh perspectives on old problems and if you’re willing to nurture growth long-term, profound change can happen.
When are we not a good fit?
If you’re looking for someone who…
– will stay away from feelings,
– will teach you tricks to manipulate people under the guise of ‘effective communication tactics’,
– will give you exact conversation scripts to work through,
… then we are not a match. I’m not a big believer in “scripts” and I don’t believe manipulating people will foster sustainable growth.
But if you’re looking for someone who…
– will boost your emotional intelligence and guide you into your excellence so that you can show up in full force,
– will elevate your people skills to expert level so that you connect to crucial stakeholders when it really matters,
– will boost your self-trust, with the risk of making you more creative and outspoken,
… then I’m your gal. Can’t wait to meet you.

In our intake call I’ll be upfront about whether I can help you with your challenge, and we can both see if we are a good match.
