Exit Stage Left

Leaving a leadership role is rarely simple. Even when you know it’s time, it can feel like walking off a cliff and hoping you sprout wings on the way down.

There’s often a strange cocktail of emotions: relief, fear, guilt, excitement, doubt – sometimes all before breakfast. Leaders are used to making bold calls, but when the bold call is about stepping away, the terrain gets wobblier.

This is where coaching steps in.

Coaching creates space to untangle the mess of thoughts and feelings that come with big career decisions. It’s not just about choosing what’s next – it’s about processing what you’re leaving behind, owning your reasons and walking away with clarity and integrity.

Sometimes, leaders find that without the role, they’re not quite sure who they are. That’s normal. Coaching helps rebuild that sense of self, separate from the job title, the pressure, the constant “on”. It’s a space to pause, reflect and reset.

And yes – we also look at what’s next. But we do it in a way that’s grounded, thoughtful and aligned with what really matters to you now – not who you had to be in the last role.

So if you’ve made the leap – or you’re standing at the edge wondering whether to jump – you don’t have to do it alone. Coaching helps you land on your feet, not your face.
