INTRODUCING
Women Leading
THE coaching community for senior women committed to navigating the changing landscape of leadership with energy and ease.
LEADERSHIP DOESN'T HAVE TO BE LONELY.
Imagine feeling seen, heard and encouraged by fellow leaders on a similar journey.
Women Leading is a unique blend of peer support, impactful leadership development and practical problem solving.
Because itâs time for a new era of leadership. One where:
Youâre in total control of your career. Youâre becoming the leader you were always meant to be - ready to tackle any challenge or change that comes your way.
Youâre recognised as the influential leader that you are - youâre making an impact and your teamâs getting results.
Youâre not alone - youâre supported, encouraged and constantly growing as a leader.
YES, I WANT THISI want you to know that if:
- You often feel stressed, exhausted, anxious or overwhelmed
- It feels like the goalposts of leadership keep moving
- Youâre ambitious - you want to bring your best self to your role
- Your job feels like a rollercoaster but youâre the only one riding it
- Overthinking and self-doubt is constantly keeping you up at night
- Your to-do list keeps getting longer but your wellbeing is always at the bottom
Then youâre not alone. It might feel like you are, but every single one of us has felt like this, many times over!
Thatâs why I created this special community, created in response to what ambitious but exhausted leaders like you have told me, again and again, that they need.
Women Leading gives you a safe and supportive space to gather - with other women leaders from a range of backgrounds, life stories and career journeys.
The thing is - leadership is hard.
The pressure of leading a team can make it all feel so lonely. But you donât actually have to do it alone.
Women Leadership isnât a one-off training. Think of us as your leadership companion. Your go-to gang for practical advice and a new perspective from peers.
Change is a constant
In leadership, thereâs one thing that doesnât change. And thatâs the presence of change itself. Changes happen all the time, especially in large organisations. It feels youâre facing increasing expectations as a leader, to adapt and grow.
Women Leading is the coaching community that remains the one constant amongst the ongoing change.
Your wellbeing needs to be your priority
Let's put your wellbeing back on the agenda. As women we find it hard to say no to our teams and stakeholders.
With the right strategies to set expectations and create boundaries we create a culture of autonomy in our teams, which helps us step off the path to overwhelm and burnout before itâs too late.
Unlock access to:
Your Monthly 60 minute leadership development sessions
These are carefully selected to give you maximum impact and return on your investment of time. Youâll learn how to:
- Protect your mental wellbeing by putting boundaries in place
- Use your voice to make an recognisable impact by getting people to truly listen to you
- Support your team and help them perform to the best of their abilities
If you canât attend these live, our leadership workshops are recorded for you to dip into at your convenience.
Our Monthly Peer coaching sessions
The realisation that youâre not alone as a leader feels incredibly reassuring and empowering. Donât underestimate the power of gathering together with fellow women who are on different career journeys but experiencing common leadership problems.
Think of these sessions as a sounding board - youâll get encouragement, real-world advice and solutions to your leadership challenges in a safe, supportive environment.
Our members have said:
âThe peer session was incredibly powerful. I was with 2 brilliant and smart senior corporate women and I realised we are all putting on many faces and struggling with lots of things. I felt heard and encouraged.â
âI really value being in a space outside my organisation where I can be open and honest. Iâm learning and able to help others.â
Monthly Group Coaching with Me
Get direct, intimate access to my years of leadership experience. Pick my brains, get your burning questions answered or get some strategic coaching on the leadership challenges youâre facing.
I guarantee youâll also find it valuable to listen in to your peersâ challenges as it so often brings a fresh perspective and new ideas.
Making sense of menopause sessions
These invaluable bi-monthly gatherings offer realistic, practical and manageable advice that you wonât find in any other leadership development communities.
Perimenopause and menopause can have such a huge impact on our daily quality of life and ability to lead with confidence. This unique feature of Women Leading is something I wish had been available to me in my leadership journey.

Hello đ Iâm Carla:
- Host of global top 2% Influence & Impact for female leaders podcast with 190,000 downloads to date
- Author of âClosing the Influence Gap: A practical guide for women leaders who want to be heardâ - named by Management Today as âone of the books every leader should read in 2022â.
- Iâve got over 15 yearâs experience coaching leaders and Iâve worked with over 500 women leaders through my popular Influence & Impact programme
- A recovering people pleaser; I still use my own How To Say No Framework on a regular basis
Hereâs what women leaders have to say about having me in their corner:
âCarla is an excellent coach, having the sessions really helped me to feel more confident in my new role and ready to take on new challenges. I had my last session today and it was so lovely to look back and reflect on how far I've come in the last 6 months with Carla's support.â
Heidi Yule, Head of Development at Endometriosis UK
âCarla is highly attuned to what you as an individual need and how. The course materials were thought-provoking and well presented, I loved the group coaching sessions and the focused sessions on one particular skill. Carla created a safe space with the group of amazing women who were in my cohort so that we could all share, learn and grow in confidence. I still log back into the course from time to time to remind myself of some of the principles and the exercises to use in my leadership roles. Highly recommend any of Carla's courses or coaching.â
Clare Bamberger, Consultant
âCarla strikes the perfect balance between humanising leadership, including promoting emotional literacy as a core component of leading with confidence, and practical, clear advice and tools to empower you to be your best professional self. I self-funded and it felt like a gamble at the start, but those worries quickly subsided- the growth I have experienced has been absolutely worth it. I feel so much more comfortable in my skin, feel able to step forward and take radical responsibility and have very solid influencing skills. My confidence has skyrocketed and instead of feeling âI canâtâ or feeling like a bit of an impostor I feel like I CAN - and if things donât go perfectly thatâs simply something to grow and learn from. I know now what I want my future to look like and the kind of career I want to build, based on my values and what I do best. It has been a great experience, in sum, and I thoroughly recommend working with Carla.â
Anna-Maija Rist, Project Manager at NHS National Services Scotland
âI started working with Carla in a group coaching setting. I was impressed by how Carla ensured we all had space to individually discuss our particular challenges and gain valuable insights when Carla shared her own experiences and behind the scenes sessions. Carla not only has such a breadth of knowledge but she is so calm and understanding as she has walked the walk and can talk from first hand experience. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Carla to anyone looking for a business coach and mentor. She is an inspiration!â
Jane Curtis, Founder & CEO at Jane Curtis Events Limited
âI really enjoyed working with Carla and a small group of fantastic women leaders. This, coupled with some one to one coaching sessions, has been hugely beneficial to me to reflect on my role as a leader and in particular navigate the many challenges of managing in todayâs uncertain times.â
