Helping experienced leaders who are exhausted and doubting themselves to rebuild confidence, trust themselves again and feel valued | The NooWay®

There's a particular kind of leadership exhaustion that doesn't show up on paper. You're still performing. Still showing up. Still the person others lean on. But internally something has shifted and the gap between how you appear and how you actually feel has been quietly widening. That gap is where leadership erosion begins. I work with leaders who are ready to stop managing it and start recalibrating back to grounded, authentic leadership that doesn't depend on endurance. NooWay® Coaching | ICF Coach

I thought losing confidence in my leadership ability was something that only happened to me.

It wasn't until I started coaching other experienced leaders that I realised how many were privately feeling the same way.

Some had already walked away from their careers. Others were still showing up, delivering and looking successful, whilst privately doubting themselves and becoming increasingly exhausted.

That's when I realised it wasn't just a me problem.

What I've since come to understand is that we rarely lose trust in ourselves overnight.

It happens gradually, through experiences, pressures and the ways we adapt ourselves to meet other people's expectations and recognising when things started to shift is the first step towards rebuilding that trust.

That's what we'll explore in my first free Exhausted, Not Broken masterclass on Tuesday 20 October at 6pm.

I'll explain why this happens and guide you through a practical exercise to help you recognise when things may have started to change for you.

Whether you're a leader experiencing this yourself, or someone who supports leaders, I'd love you to join the conversation.

A little bit of noos to share, and something I'm feeling rather proud of!

I've just found out that has been recognised in the SME News Business Elite Awards 2026, receiving two awards:

🏆 Best Senior Leadership Coaching Consultancy 2026 – Midlands

🏆 Leadership Confidence & Career Alignment Excellence Award 2026 – Midlands

When I set up my business in 2022, I wanted to use everything I'd learnt throughout my career in HR and leadership to help people feel more confident in themselves, recognise the value they bring and enjoy what they do.

Over the last few years, I've had the privilege of working alongside some brilliant people who, despite being experienced and capable leaders, have found themselves questioning their abilities, losing confidence or feeling overwhelmed by the demands placed on them.

Seeing them start to trust themselves again, make decisions with confidence and find enjoyment in their work is what makes coaching so rewarding for me.

So, to receive recognition for the work I love doing, particularly around leadership confidence and career alignment, means a great deal.

A huge thank you to everyone who has trusted me to support them, recommended me to others, encouraged me and supported my little business along the way.

I'm looking forward to continuing to do more of what I love, helping people recognise that they're brilliant just as they are.

**Thank you.** 🧡

Burnout is bubbling away for most of the leaders I work with.

So I wanted to explore this further. Get a deeper understanding, and be certain I'm supporting my clients in the best way possible.

That's why I've spent the last few days fully immersed with Kelly Swingler on her Burnout Informed Coach programme.

It didn't disappoint.

Working alone, I don’t have many people to guide me and give feedback, so I have to seek that out myself.

During these last few days I've not only learnt more about burnout and ways I can help my clients further, I also had time to reflect on my current coaching approach and left with the confidence that I'm good at what I do.

For someone who carries high expectations of herself, that's quite a powerful thing to be able to say.

When did you stop trusting yourself?

Most capable leaders can't say. They just know they feel less sure than they used to.

In my free masterclass on Tuesday 20 October, 6pm UK, you'll build a one-page map to find out when it started, so self-blame stops being your first response.

Last year I joined Susan Payton for her 5 Day Challenge.

I thought I was going to learn how to use storytelling in my business. I did, but I came away with so much more than that.

At the time, I was still feeling confused about who my ideal client really was, how I helped them and how to explain what I did in a way that felt like me.

Through the challenge and programme, I started connecting my own story with the work I do and, importantly, why I do it.

For the first time, it all felt aligned.

It gave me the confidence to stand up in a room full of strangers and talk about my business without feeling like I had to deliver a polished sales pitch.

And storytelling has since become part of how I write and communicate too, including in my new book, Exhausted, Not Broken.

A lot has changed in my business since I did that challenge, and Susan played a significant part in helping me find the story that connected it all together.

Her free 5 Day Challenge is running again from 5th October and, having experienced it myself, I’m very happy to recommend it.

I was clearing out my work bag earlier and found this.

This little stick of calming essence used to be my way of getting through presentations, training sessions and meetings when I was feeling nervous.

I haven't needed it for years.

Not because I suddenly became a different person or stopped getting nervous, but because I started working in ways that were more aligned with who I am and recognising the value I bring.

I went from fearing failure to being able to let go.

I stopped trying to anticipate every detail, outcome and potential situation.

I started trusting myself.

That's one of the things I now help my clients do through my leadership coaching.

And if coaching isn't right for you, I've written about how to rebuild that trust in yourself in my book, Exhausted, Not Broken, which I hope to have published soon.

Funny how something so small can remind you how far you've come.

Oakley waited for his car to be serviced....

Oakley 🐶: So how's your week going mum?

Me: It's going well thank you.

I added the pictures to my book and wrote the bit that has you in it - ooh and 36 people have signed up to the pre-registration list.

Oakley 🐶: Cool, how great is that! I think I'll have a crazy moment to celebrate.
