Making the move from Manager to Leader doesn't happen over night and doesn't happen in one step.
There are different skills and qualities needed for leadership than for management. And there are many times when someone perceived as A Leader will need to Manage, and where a person perceived as A Manager will need to Lead
• How do you shift from being seen as reliable and capable to being seen as influential and visionary?
​
• How do you build the confidence to lead, even when you’re still finding your feet?
​
• How do you strike the right balance between leading people and managing work?
• How do you handle the pressure to have all the answers—and lead well even when you don’t?
​
• How do you develop your own authentic leadership style, instead of mimicking someone else’s?
​
• How do you grow your strategic voice, so people listen when you speak?
Lean into Leadership helps you (and others stepping into leadership) build confidence, clarity, and credibility—supporting the shift from managing the work to shaping the future

Lean into Love
Helen Blyth
Head of Individual Giving
Macular Society
I’ve done some of Claire’s programmes before, so I knew Lean into Leadership would be grounded, thoughtful, and full of practical takeaways—and it absolutely delivered. Lean gave me the time and space to really explore what leadership means for me, not just in theory but in the day-to-day reality of my role. It helped me understand the difference between managing and leading, and where I need to grow next.
Claire has a brilliant way of making big concepts feel clear and do-able, and of creating a space where everyone feels comfortable being honest.
I’ve come away with more clarity, more confidence, and a stronger sense of my own leadership style.
