High performance does not automatically translate into confident leadership.

I work with organisations, managers, and emerging leaders navigating that transition, particularly high-performing women stepping into leadership roles for the first time.

In most cases, the issue is not capability.

It is clarity, confidence, and knowing how to lead others without second-guessing yourself or burning out.

Common challenges I see include:

- Strong performers who hesitate as they move from execution to people leadership
- Emerging leaders struggling with accountability, influence, and difficult conversations
- High-performing women carrying responsibility quietly while questioning their capability

Without the right support, this often leads to:

- Inconsistent leadership behaviours across teams
- Managers spending time firefighting instead of developing leaders
- Capable professionals holding themselves back from their potential

At Agile Performance, we help leaders build the clarity, structure, and self-trust required to lead well. Not through theory or hype, but through practical frameworks and real-world coaching that translates into everyday leadership decisions.

For emerging female leaders, this work is brought together in The High Performers Leadership Blueprint, an online leadership program designed for high-performing women who want to lead with confidence, clarity, and capability.

Alongside this program, I continue to work with leaders, managers, and teams across a range of industries through coaching and leadership development initiatives.

With over 20 years’ experience in sales and business leadership, I have led teams through growth, pressure, and change across startups, SMEs, and national organisations.

Whether you are developing leaders within your business or stepping into leadership yourself, my focus is on practical leadership that builds confidence, capability, and sustainable performance.

If you would like to explore how we can support you, send me a DM with “AGILE” and I will share the next step.

Be the person everyone wants to work with! 

High-performing teams aren’t built through pressure, titles or perks alone.
They’re built when leaders earn the right to have great people choose them.

The strongest teams I see are attraction teams - 

where people want to stay, play, and learn.

Not because they have to.

Because they feel trusted, stretched, supported and respected.

Great managers understand this truth:

Talent doesn’t leave companies - it leaves leaders.
And it stays with leaders who create environments where growth, safety and challenge coexist.
If you want your best people to bring their best energy, ideas and commitment…
you must first become the leader they want to work with, not just for.
So I have a question for you:
What are you doing to earn the right for your best people to stay with you?

I really enjoyed this conversation with Lauren Clemett 

This episode captures a big turning point in my work. I started Agile Sales and Management focused on training and capability building. Over time, it became clear that the biggest and most consistent impact I was having was not on the structure of the business, but on the performance mindset of the people inside it.
Because no matter how talented your team is, you will always hit a ceiling if the leader cannot build and sustain a high-performance culture and keep their people engaged.

In this conversation, I share why Agile Performance Pty Ltd was created, what it really takes to create engaged high-performing teams, and why helping your people does not mean doing it for them. It means showing them, then creating the space for them to step up.

No one tells you this when you get promoted.

The work doesn’t necessarily get harder.

It gets heavier.

You’re still capable.

You still know how to do the job.

But now decisions linger in your head longer than they used to.

You think about how things will land.

Who it will affect.

What does it mean if you get it wrong.

And even on “good” weeks, you can feel more drained than you expect.

That’s not because you’re bad at leadership.

It’s because leadership quietly moves you from execution to responsibility, and most high performers are never shown how to make that shift.

I see this exact moment over and over again with women stepping into leadership roles.

Hard truth, but an important one.

Great people don’t fail because they lack talent, they fail when the environment doesn’t support them.

 Leadership isn’t about control; it’s about creating the conditions for people to thrive.

Have you ever noticed how things slowly start ending up with you?

Not all at once.
Just... more often.

Small decisions.
Extra follow-ups.
Unspoken expectations.

No one explicitly asks.
They just assume you’ll handle it.

At first, it feels harmless.
Even flattering.

Then one day you realise you’re thinking about things that were never meant to be yours.

Carrying weight you never agreed to carry.
Holding everything together so nothing drops.

It doesn’t feel like pressure at first.
It just feels like being capable.

Until it doesn’t.

Most people don’t hit a breaking point.
They drift into it, one quiet assumption at a time.

What quiet tasks do you find constantly landing on you?
