Your female leaders are paramount to your success. And they are on the brink of burnout.
How committed is your organisation to the wellbeing of its female leaders?
The pressure experienced by women has significantly increased over the past year. Many have had to support the wellbeing of their families, friends and team members, as well as continuing to perform at a high level in their roles.
At a time where the value of ‘soft skills’ in leadership has become exceedingly clear, female leaders have an important role to play in embedding these new leadership values and traits within your organisation. Their perspective, input and contribution is needed to create a thriving, diverse and inclusive business and workplace culture.
Yet, your female leaders are at risk of empathy fatigue and burnout. Many are re-evaluating how to pursue their career goals and ambitions whilst sustaining their emotional, mental and physical wellbeing.
“1 in 4 women are contemplating what many would have considered unthinkable less than a year ago: downshifting their careers or leaving the workforce. Companies risk losing women in leadership - and future women leaders - and unwinding years of painstaking progress toward gender diversity.”

Why Emotional Resilience matters
In a world where chronic stress is rampant, emotional resilience is critical. Without a resilient ‘core’, we expose ourselves to the risk burnout and stress-related illnesses.
While resilience is often described as the ability to ‘bounce back’, I consider it to be an even greater enabler to lean forward.
Being emotionally and mentally resilient enhances our appetite to take greater risks, to make bolder choices, to stand up for what matters and to step up in our career and leadership role with courage - because we trust that we have the capacity to cope.
Here is what you can expect to see when your female leaders become more emotionally resilient:
Resilient performance.
Developing inner leadership skills will help them to manage stress, as well as lean forward more boldly. Sustained by a strong emotional and mental ‘core’, they will be able to perform at their highest level without sacrificing their wellbeing.
Resilient leadership.
By leading with calm, compassion, clarity, courage and confidence, they will role model embodied, resilient leadership qualities within the organisation.
Resilient culture.
Through positive emotional contagion, their resilience will create a ripple effect within their peers and team members, thereby contributing to embedding wellbeing at organisational, team and individual level.
About me
I’m an Emotional Resilience Coach & Trainer, supporting organisations to prevent high functioning anxiety, stress and burnout within their female leaders, so that they retain more high performing women in senior roles, and continue to attract new female talent.
I founded my coaching practice in 2017, after spending over 20 years in the corporate world. I held a variety of financial roles at AT&T, PwC, and United Technologies Corporation, before moving to the online world in 2000, holding roles at Amazon, Yahoo!, and JustGiving.
My Approach is…
Embodied
It is not confined to working with the mind alone - embodiment is woven throughout for longer lasting change. Stress is a physiological reaction: it happens within the body. Therefore, processing stress requires working with and through the body.
Trauma-informed
It is attentive to my client’s personal history, which means that it offers a safe space to express and explore emotional and mental challenges that they are often unable to share in any other context.
‘Lived in’
Having spent 20 years in the corporate world, I understand first-hand the challenges that your female leaders face. I have lived through them personally. This allows me to bring a unique ‘lived-in’ sensitivity, compassion and practical insight to my work.
