Leaders need help to develop the skills that will take them to their next level. Being a subject matter expert, high-performing team member, or doing what you’ve always done is not enough.
It’s simply not good business to promote a leader and then fail to develop them. There’s more to being the leader than just being successful in your old role. Leading a team needs more and different capabilities, tools, processes, and approaches.
I continue to observe many organisations which are not taking enough responsibility for setting new leaders up for success. They need to provide the support and development that equips new managers with the additional skills they need to navigate their new role of team leader effectively.
Yet many organisations are not offering the support their leaders need.
It’s time to bridge the gap.
Here are a few of the concerning statistics on this topic:
-
60% of new leaders fail in the first year [1]
-
87 % of first-time leaders feel frustrated, anxious, and uncertain about their new role [2]
-
60% of leaders say they never received training when transitioning into their first leadership role [3]
-
50% of managers in organisations are ineffective [4]

I’m on a mission to develop as many leaders as I can with The New Leader.
I’m going to help your new leaders, and leaders of leaders, acquire the foundation skills that will make their leadership lives so much easier and set them up for leadership success throughout their careers.

CLIENTS SAY...
Stacey and I discussed ideas for a foundational building block program across the three teams, to help the managers lead their team and assist in leading the combined branch. Stacey put together a package of individual coaching, plus a high-power-team building block series of workshops. These were a resounding success for the managers, the teams and to assist me in setting the tone.
I cannot speak more highly enough of Stacey’s collaborative approach, her ability to listen and hear what is required. Then her ability to design and deliver a fit-4-team program.
There’s always a temptation to think that having been performing leadership roles for a reasonable period that a programme for the ‘New Leader’ is perhaps not a natural choice. Alas, it most certainly is and I would challenge that even a CEO with a career’s worth of leadership under their belt wouldn’t gain a few great reminders, tips and actions from this straight-forward, succinct and easy-to-implement programme. It was genuinely excellent and a great source of fresh inspiration on a number of fronts.
The New Leader is pragmatic and insightful. Stacey’s authenticity and experience shines through in the real life stories she shares. The tools she provides are practical, easy to use and invaluable to all leaders (new or experienced). As a result of your coaching Stacey, I wish to thank you for enabling me to step up into a strategic change leadership role. Your program was key in preparing me for this.
Your pragmatic approach made it easy for me to take action, focus on what I do best, and take responsibility for how I show up each day. I am a better leader today because of the program and continued coaching I receive.
Stacey’s experience, advice and availability to act as a sounding board has helped me to build resilience and develop effective strategies for responding to issues as they arise. I found her experience and insights incredibly valuable. I learned strategies for maintaining perseverance and momentum in an organisation with a challenging culture and behaviours. Having a regular check in with someone outside the organisation kept me accountable, provided me objective advice, support and encouragement to keep me going.
Stacey and I have worked together for over a year, and over that time she has allowed me to focus my career goals, transition to a new role, and enhance my skills in communication and planning. She has allowed me to step up my performance, and has changed how I work. Stacey has my highest recommendation to anyone looking to step up in their career.
