the job of a leader is more important and tougher than ever before
poor mental health costs uk employers £45 billion every year
Work-related burnout and stress, depression and anxiety have increased markedly since Covid-19
50% of leadership transitions fail within 18 months
The challenges your leaders face are immense. Leaders need to be purposeful, resilient, energised, and values-led in the face of huge adversity. They need to create a powerful culture, enabling teams and organisations to innovate, grow and excel. And to create climates that are inclusive, ensuring everyone can bring their best self, speak their mind, and thrive.
That’s in the context of increasing work-related burnout and stress, depression and anxiety since Covid-19, and with poor mental health costing UK employers £45bn a year (Deloitte).
No surprise then that it’s often the leaders themselves struggling to be on top form, and that 50% of leadership transitions fail within the first 18 months of being promoted or hired (McKinsey, HBR).
Being a leader and being stressed and overworked don’t have to be synonymous.
But leaders do need support to survive, thrive and deliver in this relentless, high-pressure, fast-moving world. Leaders also need support to embrace and role-model healthy approaches to managing energy, workload, stress and pressure so that resilience and wellbeing is enhanced for them, their teams, and the organisation. This is what I do.
I enable leaders and emerging leaders to enhance their energy, increase their inclusion, deliver elite performance sustainably, increase leadership impact, grow confidence, and accelerate their development. I help organisations and teams create and embrace a culture focused on inclusion, energy and resilience and high performance, as well as high employee engagement.
