Leadership Development

Leadership is a journey of becoming, not just achieving. Before you can effectively lead others, you need to be able to lead yourself.

Whether you are an established or emerging leader, a leader with formal authority, or someone who wants to inspire others to follow, being able to define and communicate what matters to you, and how you want to achieve that, affords so much opportunity. 

The best leaders are clear and intentional on their leadership journey. That doesn’t mean having all the answers. It means staying focused on the mission, and having the courage to get the support needed to get there. 

How it Works

For Organisations

If you are looking for short-term or long-term leadership development programmes because you believe that people are you biggest opportunity:

  • Schedule a complimentary consultation call where we can discuss your current challenges and future aspirations for your people
  • We will co-design the best solution based on your expert knowledge of the organisation and my expertise in leadership development. This may range from a one-off workshop, 1:1 coaching to a full leadership development programme.

 

For Founders & Individuals

If you are looking to develop your leadership brand, or you want to finally get out of your own way and achieve your ambitions, you are in the right place:

  • Schedule a complimentary chat where we can discuss your aspirations for your business or career, and your specific blocks to achieving that 
  • You will follow a programme for developing greater self-awareness and self-direction, aligned to your business or  organisation’s objectives, and get you back into the driving seat of your life and career.

Why Invest in Leadership Development?

Self-led individuals perform better and make better decisions. I can support you to maximise self-leadership by:

  1. Enhancing technical and management skills with critical leadership skills 
  2. Increasing tolerance for uncertainty, and the unpredictability of human behaviour
  3. Promoting high trust, collaborative cultures where people can do their best work.

I believe that leadership starts with a commitment to become a leader. “I define a leader as anyone who takes responsibility for finding the potential in people and processes, and who has the courage to develop that potential”

My Experience and Style

My own search to answer ‘what am I meant to be doing with my life’ has included radical career change and relocations, and years of personal development in well-trodden or wierdly woo places! Ultimately, I found myself back to where I started – with myself.  

Personal mastery is an inside job. It requires a practice of self-compassion to get to know your real self, to set realistic expectations and to overcome unhelpful behaviours such as perfectionism, defensiveness and the endless pursuit of feeling good enough.

My leadership development programmes are designed to be the antidote to beige, box-ticking training. I celebrate diversity and support individuals to develop their own authentic leadership style, based on what energises them and their deeper motivations so that they have a joyful career they are proud of.

Client Feedback

Lauren - People Operations Business Partner

Norma has a fantastic ability to get down to the core of the issue quickly, honestly and by asking the right questions to address things that can be difficult, but are just the things you need to work on.

 

I was also surprised by how quickly I felt changes in myself and how the small changes Norma helped me to implement, made such a big difference

Anonymous Leadership Course Attendee

“An excellent instructor, who was both very knowledgeable and very engaging – she made the course really enjoyable.

Norma was very attentive to the needs of those on the course and did her very best to address everyone’s needs

My Methodologies

70% of organisations say leaders must master a much broader range of behaviours to meet current and future demands
(HBR, 2025).

Leaders are now expected to be multi-disciplinary specialists, which is not achievable without structured development.

My experience working with many individuals and organisations has led me to explore and make use a range of frameworks. This includes the strengths-based authentic leadership model from Strengthscope® (pictured).
