Authentic Leadership
in Action
Transformational coaching programme
for new and emerging leaders
As someone who steps into a leadership role for the first time, it can be a huge challenge to figure out how to “be” as a leader.
You know that you want to lead change and inspire others, to make a real difference, a long-lasting impact, but where do you even start?
You feel confused by all the leadership theory out there – it all makes sense but how do you apply it authentically, without “faking it”?
And this confusion leads to frustration, and fear. A fear of not being good enough. A fear of failing. And most of all, a fear of being “found out”.
You know, deep down, that something isn’t right. Something is missing. But you can’t quite figure out “what”.
You feel isolated,
left to deal with
high expectations
by yourself…
So you’ve read the books, listened to the podcasts, crawled through YouTube for answers. You might even have signed up for expensive courses in the hope that you’ll get the clarity you seek.
There’s a ton of great advice out there, but that’s just it – the volume of content just adds to the overwhelm and leads to analysis paralysis.
You may have found other leaders who you thought were successful and inspiring, and tried to emulate them.
But it left you feeling inauthentic and this, too, fell flat.
In your heart, you know that this has to come from within, from your true self.
But how do you do that? How do you find out what makes you YOU, and how do you leverage your self-awareness to make a positive impact?
Take a deep breath
And read on…
As a qualified coach and senior business leader, I will take you on a journey to help you learn who you truly are, deep down, and what it means to lead from the heart.
You will learn to unleash your leadership capabilities in a way that would never have seemed possible before, because you will drop the mask and lead authentically.
Together, we will dive deep into your values, your strengths and your purpose. We’ll use this as a springboard to craft your leadership vision, and on the way, we will release your limiting beliefs, and replace them with resilience, confidence and resolve.
We will use those foundations to unleash your inner leader, and have the presence and impact to lead change and inspire others.
Bottom line, this means that, finally, you can be your true self while making a difference.

What my clients say...
“Cedric’s coaching transformed so many aspects of my mindset. Not only did it improve how I perceive myself overall, but it gave me space to cultivate a deep trust and confidence within as a person that is highly capable of success.”
John, Entrepreneur
“My perspective of what it means to be a strong leader has forever been changed as a result, and without coaching, I may have neglected to utilise what I now deem to be one of my greatest assets.”
Jake, Finance Manager
“Wow… It’s been a journey! Thank you for championning me in becoming who I wanted to become – even though I didn’t realise it at the start. I’m now showing up as my true self with conviction and compassion and feel a deep sense of fulfilment.”
Richard, Head of Marketing
“When they say the answers lie within, they truly do. Working with Cedric, as a coach, has enabled me to go deep and join the dots in my thinking, question thought patterns and consider tangible next steps. “
Kathleen, Deputy Head
“Cedric coached me at a critical point in my career development. His kind, respectful but challenging approach helped me identify and understand my values and strengths as well working through some more difficult blockers which were preventing my progress.”
Amy, Senior Lawyer
“Cédric was able to move me past my ‘saboteur’ and get straight to what was really holding me back. He is insightful and intuitive. His questions were spot on and not evasive. His style is easy going and I felt comfortable opening up and sharing my thoughts with him. He is a great coach.”
Paula, ESL Teacher
