CEO and Head Coach

Career coach and job search strategist helping executives get the career they want 🎯

There’s a difference between being trusted to execute
and being trusted to decide.

Many senior leaders are heavily relied on,
but only to carry out what others have already decided.

Execution builds credibility.
Decision authority builds influence.

The frustration sets in when you’re accountable for outcomes
without being part of the decision that shaped them.

Next week’s Executive Strategy Session is for senior leaders reassessing where they sit in that gap.

Details are on my profile.

Trusted Advisor to Senior Leaders at Career & Leadership Inflection Points

Career transitions don’t announce themselves loudly.

They show up as small signals.

A role that no longer stretches you.
Decisions happening without you in the room.
Responsibility that grows faster than authority.

Most leaders sense this long before they act on it.

The question isn’t whether something is shifting.
It’s whether you’re taking the time to assess it deliberately.

I’m hosting a private Executive Strategy Session on Executive Transitions this Thursday for leaders who want to think clearly before the window narrows.

Details are on my profile.

Senior roles don’t get easier.
They get quieter.

Fewer obvious moves.
Fewer clear signals.
More decisions that shape months, not weeks.

At that level, success isn’t about speed.
It’s about decision quality.

The leaders who advance aren’t the most active.
They’re the most deliberate.

Next week, I’m hosting a private Executive Strategy Session for senior leaders navigating these quieter, higher-stakes decisions.
Details are on my profile.

At senior levels, waiting feels safe.

Nothing breaks.
Nothing forces a decision.

But while you wait:
• scope gets redefined
• expectations shift
• the narrative around your role hardens

Not because you did anything wrong.
Because organizations keep moving.

Strategic leaders don’t rush decisions.
But they don’t drift either.

Thursday’s Executive Strategy Session is for leaders who want to assess where they stand before momentum decides for them.

Details are on my profile.

The fastest way to stall your career isn’t failure.

It’s tolerating things you shouldn’t.

Tolerating:
• being accountable for outcomes you don’t control
• scope that keeps expanding without real authority
• compensation that’s “close enough for now”

Strong leaders don’t wait for permission to raise standards.

They decide what no longer fits, and stop normalizing it.

If this resonates, I’m hosting a private Executive Strategy Session next week for senior leaders reassessing scope, leverage, and positioning.

Details are on my profile.

Most leaders are over-working the wrong problems.

They spend months optimizing execution
while avoiding the harder question of leverage.

Leverage isn’t effort.
It’s where your judgment changes the outcome.

When leverage is clear:
• fewer meetings matter
• fewer decisions matter
• fewer people need convincing

I’m covering how to identify real leverage in a private Executive Strategy Session next week.

Details are on my profile.

Clarity isn’t motivational.
It’s operational.

When things are clear:
• decisions accelerate
• energy stops leaking
• trade-offs become obvious

Most leaders don’t need more ideas.
They need fewer open loops.

Precision isn’t intensity.
It’s restraint.

That’s exactly what we’ll work through in next week’s Executive Strategy Session.

Details are on my profile.

Most career transitions don’t arrive during moments of stress.

They surface during moments of comfort.

When things are “fine.”
When the role still works on paper.
When there’s no forcing function to decide.

That’s when decisions quietly get made for you:
· by the company
· by shifting priorities
· by the market

Nothing goes wrong.
But your range of options narrows.

If you’re using this weekend to think more carefully about where you stand, I’m hosting a private Executive Strategy Session next week for leaders navigating career transitions.

Details are on my profile.

Some decisions don’t surface during the workweek.

They emerge in quieter moments when there’s space to think without reacting.

Knowing:
• when to stay and recalibrate
• when to push for expanded scope
• when a role has reached its natural limit

Those aren’t emotional decisions.
They’re strategic ones.

That’s exactly what we’ll work through in next week’s Executive Strategy Session for leaders navigating career transitions.

Details are on my profile.

Most leaders don’t need advice.

They need space to think without reacting.

Space to step back from:
• the weekly noise
• the internal politics
• the pressure to “just keep executing”

That space is rare.
Which is why it has to be created intentionally.

Tomorrow I’m hosting a private Executive Strategy Session on Executive Transitions.

Registration closes shortly.

If you’ve been meaning to step back and assess your next move, details are on my profile.

Helping high performing founders, coaches, consultants and SMBs win premium B2B/B2C clients with buyer-led selling, high trust closing and AI | Top 100 Sales DemandBase | Social Selling for Teams

Imagine a business that grows with ease, because your sales system actually fits you.

Clients you’re excited to work with.
Content that sparks real conversations.
Offers you can confidently sell without pressure
And consistent revenue that doesn’t depend on hustle or hacks.

That’s what I help coaches, consultants, fractionals and founders build, with The Elegant Sales System™ method.

Telling your business' story through right content 
Driving engagement that results in interest, engagement, messages and requests
Market in a way that warms an audience and places you at the front of mind
Keeping ROI in mind with a focus on conversion rather than views

→ You’re posting, but not converting
→ Getting DMs—but not decisions
→ Sales calls stall out or ghost
→ Your offer isn’t landing like it should
→ Leads feel random or hard to qualify

It’s not that you’re mediocre at sales.
You just don’t have a system built around how real people buy.

That’s what we fix inside The Client Acquisition Club.
I teach a no-pressure, sales process that combines:

✔️ Warm outbound
✔️ Buyer-led conversations
✔️ Follow-up flows that don’t drop the ball
✔️ AI to speed things up, not water them down
✔️ Real messaging that speaks to your client’s actual pain points
✔️ Scaling your business beyond $10K a month so you can focus your energy on what matters

Even if you're a consultant with big B2B cycles that are complex, we help you navigate the buyer matrix.

- Generate more leads, clients, and business without relying only on referrals or networking
- Create different income streams with courses, speaking + brand deals
- Magnetize your brand & build trust with premium buyers
- Consistently hit $20K+ months without working harder
- Shift from 1:1 to scalable hybrid group programs
- Sell with confidence & sell as you

I also work 1:1 with consultants and coaches who want deeper support and accountability as they grow into consistent 5-figure months (and beyond).

If you’re ready to build a sales process that finally matches your skill set and values…

Charlotte Lloyd

I am the opposite of what success is 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘥 to look like in my industry.
 
I didn’t start young. I started at 43.
 
I didn’t go to Oxford or Cambridge. (Leeds uni in fact)
I don’t have an MBA.  
I didn’t follow a neat, linear path.
 
And I still built an internationally recognised business.
People were generous with their advice:
 
“You’re too late for this.”  
“This industry doesn’t work online.”
I even tried to do it the “right” way.
 
I tried building a fashion business on Instagram.  
It failed. (Yes you can laugh!)
I've rebuilt it now though. (after growing here)
 
I didn't lack effort or want of trying.
The platform rewarded aesthetics over substance.
 
It pushed me to perform instead of think.  
To simplify instead of explain.  
To sell a vibe instead of value.
 
So I stopped forcing it and moved to LinkedIn instead.
With zero expectations on how it would go.
That’s where things changed.
 
Nope, I didn't crack the algorithm 
My experience finally counted for something.
 
I stopped borrowing other people’s narratives and wrote my own.
 
I used age as leverage, not a liability.  
I trusted lived experience over credentials.  

I built in public where clarity mattered more than charisma.  

I modernised an industry that preferred tradition over progress.

Most limits aren’t real. They’re inherited.
 
You can wait for people to buy into your vision.
 
Or you can build it so clearly that opting out feels irrational.
 
I chose the second.
 
What’s the rule you’ve been following that no longer deserves your loyalty?

📸 From the IG days pre LinkedIn.

I’m deliberately making my business harder to run this year.

More spend. (Less tax though!)
More payroll. (Hurts but worth it)
More decisions that don’t come with certainty. (Risk)

And no it's not recklessness. It’s leadership.

I’m launching TWO new offers:

• one is a 2.0 evolution of what already works
• one moves me into a completely different tier 
  
And I’ve already hired two people . 
We’re now a team of four.

That means commitment before comfort. 
Responsibility before guarantees.

Don’t avoid the part most people avoid.

If your business only grows when everything feels safe, 
It’s already capped.

Doubling doesn’t come from optimisation.
It comes from capacity.

So I’m funding the version of:

• The business I want to be running next year.
• Not protecting the one that got me here.

Same results require protection. 

Different results require backing yourself earlier than feels reasonable.

If that makes you uneasy, good. That’s usually the edge.

♻️Share if you’re making uncomfortable moves this year.

Most people get commitment wrong.

They think the options are: 
• never quit 
• or never really commit

Both lose.
On one end, you drift. You dabble. 
You keep options open so nothing ever really moves.

On the other, you cling. 
You keep going long after the signal has changed. 
You confuse persistence with wisdom.

The goal isn’t blind commitment. 
Nor quitting early.
It’s knowing when to deepen and when to walk away.

That’s the part most advice skips.
Real progress lives in the middle: 

When you commit long enough to get real data, 
But stay flexible enough to change course when the evidence is clear.

Not every setback is a sign to quit. 
Not every struggle is proof you should “push harder.”

Some things need patience. 
Some things need pruning. 
Some things need to be let go so better ones can grow.

The strongest leaders aren’t the ones who never quit. 
They’re the ones who adjust without ego.
They don’t ask: “Can I tough this out?”

They ask: 
“Is this still the right thing to be committed to?”
That’s not weakness. That’s judgment.

Judgment is what increases your odds of success.

The “safe path” only feels safe until you realise who controls your time.
 
Someone took a risk.  
Built something.  
And now pays other people to protect it.
 
That’s the trade most people never question.
 
You either:
 
• take responsibility for uncertainty
• or get paid to absorb someone else’s risk
 
Both cost you something.
 
Risk is uncomfortable.  
So is waking up years later realising your life ran on someone else’s calendar.
 
You don’t need to leap.  
You don’t need to quit tomorrow.
 
But you do need to start choosing 𝘥𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 over comfort.
 
The biggest risk isn’t failing.
It’s staying put and calling it stability.
