From Pup to Pack Leader: Coaching Through the Messy Middle
This explores the transition from teammate to leader. The messy middle where identity shifts and doubt emerges. Drawing on Blue Dog Culture’s 10 Ways to Grow, it shows how coaching supports new leaders to reflect, lead with intention, and build confidence.
From Expert to Leader – Why Coaching Is the Missing Link
Many organisations promote technical experts into leadership roles without equipping them to shift from doing the work to leading people. This blog explores why that gap matters and how coaching guides new leaders build confidence, navigate uncertainty, and lead with authenticity. Without support, they often fall back on old habits or struggle quietly. Real culture change happens in the middle through frontline leaders. Promotion is just the first step — development is what makes it count.
Are your next Leaders on a lead or a leash?
Many organisations claim to invest in future leaders, but high performers are often left feeling more watched than supported. Succession still rewards performance over potential, and too few leaders stop to ask if they are developing the right people for the future they want to create. This blog explores how outdated assumptions about talent hold culture back, and why coaching is key to creating the clarity, alignment, and energy your future leaders need to grow with intention.
