Awkward to Impactful

One of the first challenges new managers often face is the dreaded “body odour chat”. Not exactly what you pictured when you stepped into leadership. Fast forward, and those conversations only get bigger — redundancies, poor performance, behaviour that undermines the team. None of it is easy.

These talks are uncomfortable because they matter. They affect people’s lives, their sense of belonging and their confidence. As leaders, we carry responsibility for how those moments land.

Coaching gives leaders a place to practise, prepare and steady themselves. It helps turn the knot in your stomach into clarity and confidence, so you can handle the tough stuff with empathy and impact.

No leader should have to white-knuckle their way through these moments. With a bit of support, the conversations that once felt daunting become opportunities for growth, trust and stronger teams.

If you’re ready to take the sting out of tough talks, let’s start the conversation.
