Maya’s Story: From Stalled to Senior Role
Stepping into Senior Leadership with Confidence
Maya had the skills, the experience, and the drive — but lacked the confidence to step into leadership. Coaching helped her recognise her strengths and claim the promotion she deserved.
The Challenge
Despite being a top performer, Maya was passed over for promotion twice. She second-guessed herself, struggled to speak up, and felt invisible in senior meetings.
“I always waited to be asked. I didn’t realise I could advocate for myself.”
The Approach
In a 3-month 1:1 programme, we:
Unpacked her leadership narrative and limiting beliefs
Rebuilt her confidence through small, visible wins
Practised assertive communication and career advocacy
The Transformation
Maya stepped into her leadership identity:
She pitched and secured a new strategic project
Gained positive visibility with senior leadership
Was offered a promotion to Head of Department
“Coaching didn’t just change my role — it changed how I see myself.”
What Maya Gained
Clarity on her unique value
Confidence to speak up and take initiative
A clear path forward in her leadership career
