Are you terrified of the thought of running a teams meeting or going live on Facebook? Or would you rather dance naked in your village than give a presentation about yourself and your awesome business!? I was the same, thats why I’ve studied and learned by some of the best over the past 15 years, to create Charismatic. It’s the market leader in strategic authentic communication skills and coaching

. This is our 8 Step Charismatic process and it’s how we will work together. We start with your Presence who actually are you, what energy do you bring through your personal profiling and what is the impact on your business. Next we work on Projector how do you use your voice, the speed, annotation and measurement? How about your tonality styles and the energy inside these. After that we will focus on your Posture how you use your energy in movement with your body power gestures and eye focus. Then we move into Positive this is about the language you’re actually using and creating, where the energy fits here from your profiling. Once we’ve established the first four basics of Charismatic, we then get into your Purpose; who are you and what’s your brand saying to us?

as Amy Cuddy reminds us “Fake it until you become it”

Since we’ve emerged from lockdown communication is at an all time crisis.. people have become less confident in their presentations, anxiety has created fearful speakers, we are relying on digital formats that invite lack of human connection, measured breakdown in relationships and epic charisma fails. Come and discover how you can increase your Confidence, Credibility and of course your Charisma. According to Forbes magazine in 2022, charismatic people enjoy more career and social success-over and above their skills, emotional intelligence, or their IQ. As a result, charismatic people significantly earn more, advance faster in their careers, their relationships and their businesses, make better friends and are often happier people. Their results include increase company sales by a whopping 35%, Investor visits jump to 88% and their customers refer them to their friends over 28 times more with NPS.. The 6 successful traits these winners have are:

✔️They’ve got presence when they enter a room, it’s their energy.
✔️They are able to influence people with powerful communications.
✔️They know how to lead a group and bounce back when under pressure.
✔️They make people feel more comfortable and people like them.
✔️They smile at people often... yes really.
✔️They can get along with anyone…

So, I’m Sally and I'm a Charisma Coach, I help service-based businesses to boost confidence, authority and influence in their niche to catapult their business. I do this through a series of structured accountability programmes that will provide the right tools, techniques and habits to take your business speaking power to the next level.

FOUR MONTHS.
ONE POWERFUL OPPORTUNITY.
LET’S MAKE THEM COUNT.

Welcome September.

We’re stepping into the final four months of what has already been a challenging, fast-moving and demanding year for many of us… and yes like many the “C” word is bouncing round our email invites 🎄🌲

And this is not the time to simply coast towards Christmas.

It’s time to dig deep.

To refocus.
To reconnect with what matters.
To develop yourself.
To strengthen your teams.
And to rediscover the drive and energy that may have taken a few knocks along the way.

Great leadership isn’t about having endless reserves of energy or all the answers.

It’s about knowing when to reset, when to bring people together and when to say:

“We’ve still got four months. What can we make happen together?”

September gives us that opportunity.

Four months to lead with greater purpose.
Four months to invest in your people.
Four months to have the conversations you’ve been putting off.
Four months to turn intention into action.
Four months to finish 2026 stronger than you started it.

So here’s my challenge for September:

What will you do differently to develop YOU, develop your TEAM and reignite your DRIVE for the rest of the year?

DM me the word DRIVE for the chance to finish strong.

Capes optional. Courage essential.

Are the results your organisation is achieving today… enough?

And perhaps the bigger question…

Are they actually sustainable?

Businesses everywhere are under increasing pressure to deliver more, move faster and achieve greater results with fewer resources. It’s no surprise that Upwork found 81% of C-suite leaders have increased productivity expectations on their teams. (gallup)

But here’s what I see every week when working with leaders across manufacturing, logistics, finance, engineering and technology…

High performance doesn’t disappear because people are challenged.

It disappears when people experience:
• Unclear direction.
• Conflicting priorities.
• Inconsistent leadership.
• Managers who struggle to inspire, coach and communicate.

People don’t burn out because the bar is set high.

They burn out because they’re asked to jump over a bar that keeps moving.

Gallup tells us that 70% of the difference in team engagement comes down to the manager. At the same time, recent research shows 62% of employees believe their leader’s management style is outdated.

That’s a wake-up call.

The organisations that will thrive in 2026 and beyond won’t simply demand more from their people.

They’ll develop leaders who create clarity, build trust, communicate with confidence and inspire exceptional performance without sacrificing wellbeing.

The most successful leaders have learned one powerful lesson:

Expect a lot. Care a lot. Cleary communicate a lot.

When leaders combine high standards with genuine human connection, they don’t just achieve better results oh noooooo - they build teams that want to deliver them.

So here’s my question…businesses of

Is your organisation still relying on yesterday’s leadership behaviours to solve tomorrow’s business challenges?

If this resonates with you, then we’d love to invite you to join us.

This autumn, Wayne Jones OBE and I will be bringing together an exclusive group of business owners, senior leaders and ambitious managers for a tailored Growth Programme.

Over three highly interactive, spaces learning days, we’ll explore the leadership behaviours, communication skills and human-centred strategies that today’s organisations need to thrive in an increasingly demanding world.

If you’re ready to lead with greater confidence, inspire stronger performance and build a culture where people and results succeed together, we’d love to welcome you.

Only 12 places are available to ensure every delegate receives a highly personalised learning experience.

Greater Manchester – it’s time to lead what’s next.

“Manchester is rising. The question is… will your leadership rise with it?”

✈️ When competitors become collaborators… everyone wins.

This weekend, something refreshing happened in aviation for a change.

Instead of competing on delays, prices or routes, British Airways and Norwegian Air turned an England vs Norway football match into a brilliant piece of marketing. The two airlines publicly challenged each other to a light-hearted wager: whichever national team lost would temporarily swap its social media logo for the winner’s.

This campaign quickly went viral, with other airlines joining in on the fun.

After what has been a challenging period for the airline industry…..with operational disruption, extreme weather and airspace restrictions affecting travellers across Europe - this was a welcome reminder that brands don’t always have to compete aggressively to capture attention.

Take the hint Aldi.

Three leadership lessons stood out for me whilst watching 👀

• Personality beats polished marketing.
• Healthy competition creates engagement.
• A little humour can build far more brand loyalty than another advert.

Sometimes the best way to stand out isn’t to fly higher than your competitors… it’s to smile alongside them.

Is your business ready for the North’s next chapter?

This week , we heard Andy Burnham outline his vision for a Northern innovation hub that could help shape the future of Great Britain.

It got me thinking. 🤔

In a client meeting later that day, I realised that many organisations across Greater Manchester aren’t yet positioned to take full advantage of the opportunities ahead.

Growth doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when businesses really prepare for it.

As a business owner lets not expect the team to automatically step up when some maybe in stalemate.

Here are three questions every leader should be asking this summer:

1. Do you have a clear strategy for the next 6–12 months? - Not just a plan on paper, but a strategy that is measurable, inspiring and gives your people a clear sense of direction.

2. Is your feedback culture helping your business grow?- The strongest organisations Im seeing today create environments where people feel safe to share both good news and give difficult conversations. Great feedback is structured, supportive and focused on improvement, not judgement.

3. Is your workforce ready to raise the bar? True Innovation comes from engaged people who feel heard, trusted and empowered to contribute ideas. If your people aren’t bringing their best thinking to work, they will most probably be taking it somewhere else - it’s time to ask why.

The North has an incredible opportunity ahead.

The question is… Will your organisation be ready to seize it?

I’d love to hear your thoughts.
What do you believe is the biggest challenge facing businesses across Greater Manchester as we prepare for the next phase of growth?

September will be the launch of something very valuable for Leaders across the Northwest.

Stay tuned 🇬🇧

Last week I experienced what thousands of other travellers did across London and Europe. 🥵

Extreme heat disrupted flights, trains and travel plans, meaning many of us couldn’t get where we needed to be to support our clients.

What fascinated me wasn’t the disruption itself.

It was watching how people responded when they realised they had absolutely no control over the situation.

Some became angry.
Some became frustrated.
Some directed that frustration at the incredible British Airways staff in Terminal 5, who were doing everything they possibly could to help.

It made me think about leadership.

When circumstances are outside our control, our character comes into sharp focus.

Here’s what last week reminded me…

1. Accept what you can’t control.
Once you know the situation isn’t changing, stop fighting it. Put your phone down. Step away from the departure board. Find some water. Breathe. Your energy is far better spent looking after yourself than staring at a screen willing it to change.

2. Choose kindness.
The person standing in front of you didn’t create the problem. They are simply trying to solve it. A smile, patience and a thank you go much further than frustration. In fact, I had some wonderful conversations and made some great new connections simply because we were all sharing the same experience.

3. See it from their perspective.
Whether it’s airline staff, rail workers or customer service teams, nobody is designed to work under constant pressure in extreme circumstances. Empathy costs nothing but can completely change someone else’s day.

And one final thought… 💭

If you’re leading a team during disruption, stay connected.

Jump onto Teams.
Pick up the phone.
Keep communicating.

People don’t expect leaders to have all the answers.They simply want to know someone is there and you’re with them.

Sometimes, the greatest leadership isn’t about fixing the problem. It’s about how you show up while everyone else is trying to find a way through it.

How have you seen people react when circumstances are completely outside their control?

Thanks British Airways btw. 🥂
