THE CONSCIOUS LEADER™

APPLY FOR THE APRIL COHORT

BECOME A CONSCIOUS LEADER

The skills that built your business -  hustle, grit, doing it all yourself, are now what's holding it back.

Why this programme exists

I've coached scaling founders for eight years. Before that, I was Head of Marketing for two scaling consumer businesses, watching brilliant builders struggle with something no one talks about:

The skills that built your business will eventually limit it.

The hustle that got you to £500k becomes the micromanagement that stalls you at £2M. The "I'll just do it myself" that made you scrappy becomes the bottleneck preventing your team from growing. The boundary-less commitment that built something from nothing becomes the burnout that makes you question if it's worth it.

And here's the thing: No one ever taught you how to make that shift.

There's no manual for founders who bootstrapped their way here. No leadership development designed for people who learned by doing, not by climbing a corporate ladder.

So I built one.

The Conscious Leader Framework is grounded in leadership research from Goleman, Edmondson, Dweck, and Brown, but designed specifically for the moment when doing everything yourself stops being virtuous and starts being destructive.

Because you can't scale a business from a place of constant reaction.

You need to develop conscious leadership. Not just at work—across yourself, your team, and your life. They're inseparable.

That's what we do in 12 weeks.

Where do you go from here?

Here's the truth: leadership isn't something you're born with. It's a capability you can develop.

The same way you taught yourself how to build a business, you can learn how to lead one. But it requires different skills entirely.

Not more hustle. Not better time management hacks. Not another productivity system.

You need to learn how to lead yourself first - recognising your patterns, managing your triggers, making decisions from clarity instead of fear.

Then how to lead others - delegating with actual trust, building a team that makes your life easier instead of harder, creating the conditions where people can do their best work.

And finally, how to lead your life - setting boundaries that protect what matters, designing a business that serves you rather than consumes you.

This is what The Conscious Leader Framework does. Through coaching, you'll develop these capabilities systematically. Not in theory - in practice, in your actual business, with your actual team.

You've already proved you can build something from nothing. Now it's time to lead it.

​The founders I work with don't just survive this transition. They build businesses that grow whilst giving them their lives back.

This Is Where The Conscious Leader Framework Applies

The Conscious Leader Framework helps you move from bootstapped founder to successful leader of a scaling business.

Leading Yourself

Learn how to move from reactive to conscious: We examine self-awareness, emotional regulation, strategic decision-making, energy management and your personal operating system

We'll cover:

  • How to recognise your triggers in real-time (before you react)

  • The neuroscience of reactive vs responsive decision-making

  • How to manage your energy, not just your time

  • Daily practices that build self-leadership capacity

Leading Others

Giving you the skills to build teams that genuinely make your life easier: delegation, psychological safety, developmental feedback, capability building

You'll learn:

  • Why delegation keeps failing (and how to fix it)

  • How to create psychological safety so people actually speak up and contribute to the business success

  • The difference between managing tasks and developing people

  • How to give feedback that builds capability, not dependency

Leading Your Life

Stop letting your business consume your life. Learn to set boundaries that hold, align your time with your values, and be present for what matters—without guilt.

You'll learn:

  • How to set boundaries that actually hold

  • Why your time allocation doesn't match your values (and how to fix it)

  • The practice of presence (at work and at home)

  • How to design a life where your business serves you, not consumes you

Every session combines research-backed frameworks with real-time coaching on your actual business.

Learn it Monday. Use it Tuesday. Reference it for years.

✓ You're losing good people, micromanaging, or both
✓ You have no real boundaries between work and life

After 12 weeks in The Conscious Leader cohort, here's what shifts:

You'll move from:

  • Reactive decisions → Strategic, conscious choices

  • Doing everything yourself → Delegating with genuine trust

  • Micromanaging → Building capable, autonomous teams

  • Porous boundaries → Protected time and energy

  • Autopilot → Intentional presence (at work and home)

  • Exhaustion → Sustainable pace

  • "Is this worth it?" → "This is how I want to lead"

Imagine:

  • Making decisions from clarity, not panic

  • Building a team you genuinely trust to handle things

  • Setting boundaries that actually hold

  • Having energy left for the people and things that matter

  • Scaling your business without sacrificing yourself
     

Not someday. In 12 weeks.

This is what conscious leadership makes possible.
