Book A Coaching Strategy Session

You lead, but no one reports to you. You run projects, pull teams together and drive outcomes across functions without managing anyone.

Or you're aspiring to a leadership role and want to build the capability before the title arrives and show your value for the next big role.

This Is For You If

A focused six-week sprint. It includes a personality insights assessment - an in-depth personality and values report that shows how you show up and what's driving it - a debrief session, and three coaching sessions built around the specific challenges of leading without authority.

Together we'll work on things like influencing without authority, managing upwards, moving teams towards commitment when you don't manage them, motivating and inspiring by leaning on your real strengths, and understanding how you come across under pressure - so you're experienced the way you actually want to be.

What It Is

Coaching with me is a thought partnership. I'm someone on the inside with you, in your back pocket for the moments between sessions, not just the sessions themselves. You'll have me on WhatsApp with a response within 12 hours, and I'm always happy to jump on a quick call when a real situation lands and you want to think it through before you act.

I'll see you clearly, and I'll see your strengths, sometimes before you do. I'll challenge how you think, and take you into discomfort on purpose. You'll always feel safe with me. You won't always feel comfortable, and that's the point. Real change doesn't happen in the comfortable place. Coaching should push you. That's what you're here for.I understand the system you're leading inside.

Most coaches work on the leader. I work on the leader and the system around them - the pressure, the promotional process, how the c-suite and investors think, the politics, the organisational complexity that's actually shaping the environment and decisions in front of you.

I spent 16 years inside fast-growth, complex organisations, most recently as a Global Chief People Officer. That's why the work lands differently. I'm not observing leadership from the outside. I've led from inside it.

What Working With Me Is Like

All coaching engagements include:

A free strategy session to get clear on where you're at and whether this is the right fit before we begin.
A short intake questionnaire to establish your baseline of where you’re at now and what’s holding you back and set your goals.
Your personal insights assessment and report. I partner with Hogan because it's one of the most rigorously validated leadership assessments in the world - it shows you how you show up day to day, how you respond under pressure and what really drives you. Find out more about Hogan.
A 90-minute debrief to unpack what it shows, so you get an honest read on the strengths to lean on and blind spots to watch out for.
Three coaching sessions - targeted to your specific goals, to work through what’s holding you back and what will push you forward.
Leadership development tools you will have access to during and after; including modules ‘Career Momentum & Transition’, ‘The Strategic Toolkit’, ‘Self Leadership’, and more.
On-going TCL community access (launching soon) - priority access to webinars, resources and insights.
You’ll walk away with a clear read on how you lead and influence, insight into how you're experienced by others, practical ways to move people without authority over them and manage up.
You leave with your development plan. If you decide to go deeper within 30 days, your sprint sessions roll into a full engagement.

What It Includes & What You Walk Away With

Ready to take the next step?

The best place to start is a free strategy session - a relaxed, no-obligation conversation about where you're at and where you want to go, so we can both see whether this is the right fit.

What People Are Saying About Coaching With Georgia

She has a real knack for asking powerful questions that help me see things from a completely new angle. It’s helped me uncover things I wasn’t fully aware of, including what was holding me back.
What’s made the biggest difference is how those insights translate into action. I leave our sessions with clear, practical steps I can actually follow through on, which has had a real impact on my confidence and focus as a leader.”
“I always feel as though I walk away from our coaching sessions with clarity and new thinking. The impact of our coaching sessions has been significant for me in building confidence, discovering new thinking and feeling more prepared to tackle a challenge.

“Georgia’s extensive professional experience shines through in her coaching. Our sessions have been thought- provoking and impactful and I’ve made genuine, positive changes as a result”
“Georgia is an exceptional coach. Her warm yet persistent approach helped me bring clarity and structure to my leadership priorities, while making difficult truths easier to confront and process. She has a remarkable ability to provide honest, direct feedback in a way that is both compassionate and empowering. I couldn’t recommend Georgia more highly to anyone seeking thoughtful, humane, and effective support on their leadership journey.”
“I have had the honor of working with Georgia for over a few months where she coached me across 15+ sessions and it has been transformational.
She has a rare talent for helping you reconnect with your own strengths at exactly the moment you've forgotten they exist. Her approach is warm but not soft — she'll challenge the narrative you're telling yourself while making you feel genuinely seen. If you're a leader who's been operating on autopilot and needs someone to help you rediscover what you're actually capable of, Georgia is the real deal.”
“I had the pleasure of having Georgia as my leadership coach. I found her via LinkedIn. Georgia was very personable, kind, empathetic and understanding which helped me open up and address the challenges I had. She gave me perspective, beyond what I knew or what I could do, and she gave me direction and helped me develop a practical and achievable action plan.
When you are out of your comfort zone, that's when you learn and grow the most. Georgia helped me recognise that during our sessions and showed me how to get my power and confidence back. I highly recommend Georgia (The Curious Leadership) for leadership coaching. As a senior leader, it can be tough to seek leadership coaching but sometimes a different perspective helps.”
“I had leadership coaching with Georgia and it made a world of difference to me. It helped me communicate more effectively, use my strengths appropriately, and gave me such a leadership and confidence boost. I would thoroughly recommend her coaching for a balanced perspective and practical tools to use every day!”

FAQs

I work with aspiring leaders and with people who already lead without a formal title - running projects, pulling teams together, and driving outcomes across functions without managing anyone. If you're building leadership capability before, or alongside, the role, this is built for you.
Leading without authority means moving people towards an outcome when they don't report to you, through influence, trust, communication and credibility rather than position. It's a learnable capability, and it's the core focus of this coaching.
By understanding your own strengths and how you're perceived, building genuine credibility, and communicating in a way that moves people to commitment rather than compliance. That's exactly what we work on together in this sprint
Yes. This is built for aspiring leaders and for people already leading through influence without a formal title, so you build the capability before, or alongside, the role.
Influencing without authority, managing upwards, moving teams to commitment without managing them, motivating through your strengths, and understanding how you come across under pressure.
Yes. Newly and recently promoted leaders are a big part of who I work with. The step up is exactly when a clear read on how you lead, and support to grow into the role, makes the most difference - and the six-week sprint is a fast way to get both.
Yes. Many people start here and continue into a full engagement, and if you do that within 30 days your sprint sessions roll into the engagement.
Therapy tends to look back, to understand and heal what's happened. Coaching looks forward, at who you want to become as a leader and how you get there. We might touch on patterns and what's underneath them, but always in service of how you lead now and next - not to treat or diagnose anything.
The first step is to book a free, no obligation strategy call. It's a relaxed conversation to talk through where you're at and what you're after, so we can both see whether this is the right fit. From there, if it feels right, we book you in and you complete a short intake questionnaire before we begin.
