LEADERSHIP COACHING 

For leaders who want to kick mediocrity to the curb!

Adaptive leadership got you here.

AI-daptive leadership will get you through what’s next.

The leadership landscape is changing. You have to keep up.

You’ve led through uncertainty, ambiguity, and change before - but AI brings a different kind of disruption.

It moves faster than you can process, impacts your people before policies catch up, and challenges the human fabric of trust, motivation, and fairness.

The risks are real - and so are the opportunities for leaders who know how to navigate them.

Why do you need Ai-daptive leadership?

Because the leadership challenges AI creates are unlike anything you’ve faced before.

It’s not just the speed of change.
It’s the way it hits your people before the rules are ready.
It’s the trust gaps that open when roles, skills, and decisions are reshaped overnight.
It’s the pressure to act on incomplete information - and still get it right.

In this environment, the leaders who will thrive aren’t just quicker or more decisive.
They’re something else entirely.

That’s why AI-daptive Leadership is essential.

These might sound familiar...

This is what I’m hearing from smart, capable leaders right now - leaders who care deeply about their people and their impact, but are navigating more change, more pressure, and more complexity than ever before, as AI reshapes how work gets done.

You’re feeling the AI enthusiasm gap.

On one side you’ve got people dreaming about what AI can do. And on the other you’ve got people digging their heels in, hoping it all blows over.

The knowledge gaps are just as wide - from early adopters getting stuck in, to those who don’t know where to start.

You’re stuck in the middle, trying to bring everyone with you. Every week you spend bridging the gap is a week of slowed progress and missed opportunities.

You’re stretched thin and being pulled in opposite directions.

Governance, risk, and compliance want you to slow down. Technology and competitors are pushing you to speed up.

You’d like to do both of those, and still hit all of your targets.

AI-daptive Leadership gives you the confidence and steadiness to keepmoving at the right pace.

You’re feeling the impact of AI before the rules are ready.

Roles are shifting, workflows are changing, and expectations are creeping higher. And the guardrails - the policies, processes, and support - aren’t in place yet. Or they’re already out of date.

You’re left to manage the uncertainty, keep your people steady, and still deliver results while the foundations are being built under your feet.

Yup, you got a bit on there.

You want clarity, but there’s so much noise and hype.

I know you don’t want to feel like AI is running the show. You want to lead well, have real impact, and make smart calls - without getting lost in the swirl of hype, opinions, and half-truths.

AI-daptive Leadership gives you that clarity, so your leadership feels purposeful, and productive.

The pressures are real - but so is the opportunity.

These aren’t just leadership headaches, they’re the real-world pressures of leading in the AI era.

The pace, the uncertainty, the people impact, the commercial stakes... AI-daptive Leadership gives you the clarity, confidence, and steadiness to navigate it all, so you can lead with impact now, and stay relevant for what’s next.

“Loved every minute.” 

“Belinda supported me through a really big professional transition, she challenged me, pushed me, and improved me. It’s not just that she did these things, it’s how she did them. Belinda takes time to make a human connection so when she challenges you it can be both uncomfortable and safe at the same time. Loved every minute.” 

- SAM PARKER, GM IT/DIGITAL, APL CORPORATION

Imagine this...

  • You lead with steadiness and clarity, even as AI disrupts markets and reshapes how work gets done

  • You balance caution and speed with confidence

  • Your people feel secure, motivated, and clear on their value, even as AI reshapes the work

  • Your organisation’s energy is aligned, not split between excitement, resistance, and skill gaps

You’re in the right place.

We’ll cut through the noise, steady things up, and get your team moving with you. You’ll feel clearer, more confident, and able to make better calls.

It feels a whole lot better leading this way. And it works.

“…picking up golden nuggets of insight about leadership and governance.”

“What struck me most was picking up golden nuggets of insight about leadership and governance communication in every conversation.

Belinda's worked with leaders across such a wide spectrum - her knowledge of real examples that can be tailored to any organisation is seriously impressive. She challenged my thinking, always focused on helping me become a brilliant leader.”

- TIM GALE, CEO, NEW ZEALAND GAME COUNCIL

YOUR LEADERSHIP COACHING JOURNEY

Step 1 - Check the fit, identify the challenge

Our first 30-minute consultation is for us to see if we’ll work well together. This call is about me working out if I can help you, and you deciding if you feel comfortable with me.

Coaching is a partnership, so this call should feel like a warm hug when you arrive home. A sign that I’m the right coach for you is if you leave this call feeling supported, like someone’s finally got your back.

Whatever’s going on for you, the challenges are real. Leaders everywhere face what you’re going through. I’ve worked with hundreds of leaders across a range of industries, cultures, and countries, and I see the same issues globally.

Now, while your challenges might be universal, your situation will be unique. You’re an individual, with your own circumstances and experience of the world. I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Your coaching will be nuanced and crafted to fit your personal needs.

Step 2: Define your coaching objectives

We spend time defining what you want to get out of coaching. Those initial objectives become an anchor point, but we can lift that anchor and move it if your needs change.

I may have some initial meetings with stakeholders to align goals for your coaching. If your CEO has suggested you get coaching, they may have insights and suggestions. Other sponsors prefer to leave things completely to you, and as a result, these conversations are optional.

Once we know what we’re aiming to achieve, we complete a coaching contract, and you get access to my calendar to book your coaching calls.

Step 3: Activate your leadership talents

Coaching is a series of powerful conversations.

 We come at topics from different angles to unlock curiosity, courage, confident vulnerability, and self-awareness. Strengthening these muscles builds your leadership abilities and accelerates results.

I'm going to ask you to be curious and intentional about your opinions, and honest about your feelings. That builds your courage to be authentic. We’ll also work on your self-awareness and circumstantial awareness to identify any self-sabotaging things you habitually do in tricky situations.

We work on two levels.

I help you become more aware of who you are, how your personality plays out in your leadership, and address any internal barriers and blind spots holding you back. At the same time, I give you a toolbox of tactics and techniques to deal with specific leadership challenges.

Use your coaching time the way you want.

 I’m here to be your sounding board, to give advice, challenge your thinking, validate your ideas, brainstorm ways to solve issues, or come up with a plan. We regularly review progress to make sure the work we’re doing is aligned with your goals. I may check in with your sponsor along the way.

Return on investment for coaching is about lasting change.

Change happens when you put what we discuss into action. Only 10% of your learning takes place in our coaching conversations. 70% happens when you put your plan into practice. The rest of your learning is from coming back, checking in, and analysing how things went.

LEADERSHIP COACHING FAQS

What sort of leaders do you work with?

Mostly senior leaders - C-Suite, GMs, people managing budgets and teams, or working across complex stakeholder environments. If you’re making decisions that matter, I can help.

Do you only work with executives and CEOs?

Not at all. I coach emerging leaders too, especially those stepping into people leadership or navigating new complexity for the first time..

Do you have experience working with engineers / Government / tech leaders / multinationals / owner operators etc?

Yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes.

I’ve coached leaders across Government, tech, engineering, corporates, SMEs, and start-ups.
But honestly? Industry matters less than you'd think. Leadership challenges show up everywhere - and fresh perspective can be an asset.

Which coaching programme is best for me?

If there’s something urgent on your plate, go with Accelerate.
If you’re building capability and want a partner in your corner longer-term, Amplify or Evolve will give you the depth and momentum you need.

What sort of coaching conversations might we have?

Whatever matters most to you. We’ll work on clarity, confidence, influence, complexity - and how to lead with more intention and less noise. It’s real conversation, not fluffy coaching-speak.

I’ll ask you questions, sure. But it’s not an interrogation…

Does unlimited access mean I have 24/ 7 access if I have a question?

Not quite. I work normal-ish hours. But if it’s urgent and appropriate, I’ll be there.
