Self-leadership is the ability to take ownership of one’s role, behaviour, wellbeing and impact. It is about being reflective, not reactive. Proactive, not passive.

Saying no is hard when we care. But every time we say no to something that drains us, we’re saying yes to something that sustains us and gives us more energy to support the work we need and / or want to be carrying out.

For years, we’ve been chasing “work-life balance,” trying to equally divide our time and energy between personal and professional priorities. But what if the goal isn’t balance at all? What if the real answer is harmony?

Strong self-leadership ensures you’re navigating with purpose, creating a team dynamic that thrives on trust and alignment.

Welcome to the first instalment of my new blog series, where I reflect on the previous month and share some of the themes that are common in many workplaces, lessons learned, and what’s coming up.

To support savvy leaders and organisations to invest meaningfully in their employees’ professional development, I’ve developed a simple framework that shows how supervision can move from toxic to transformative supervision - and the incredible impact this has.

Professional and Clinical Supervision is a co-created, collaborative learning focussed conversation between a supervisor and supervisee. It is a process of learning and support, designed to build self-directed learners and workforce capacity through practice skill development and reflective learning.
