YOU'RE IN LEADERSHIP BECAUSE... You want to inspire, enable, and develop people to reach their highest potential and impact. But it's hard. If you’re an individual leader it means: ✔️ You’ve finally got a seat at the table but you don’t know what to do and you feel like an impostor. ✔️ You’re skilled in your functional area of expertise but you’re struggling to be a good people manager. You’re worried about your job, your team isn’t happy, and you’re getting negative feedback from senior leaders. ✔️ You want to grow in your career but you’re tired of being stuck on the hamster wheel of constantly chasing promotions as the only pathway to success. If you’re an organization it means: ✔️ Your leaders in transition struggle to transition from technical expert to people manager. ✔️ You’re concerned HR issues won’t be handled correctly and fear that leaders won’t be equipped to mediate issues. Feedback may often be avoided due to a fear of confrontation. ✔️ You’re aware of the isolation that plagues senior leadership and the impact on their mental health but are unclear as to what supports can be put into place. ✔️ You’re trying to keep you and the team focused on strategy and the demands of the business but personnel issues continually get in the way. Whether it’s ‘bad hires’ or having the wrong people in roles, it’s challenging. What if there was an easier, more intuitive way to lead? ——— ABOUT ME I do no BS 1:1 coaching with open-minded and committed senior leaders who want to grow themselves and their teams to their full potential, and I run transformative programs with companies who are serious about change. 🔹Facilitator, speaker and leadership coach on a mission to help 1M people 🔹Coached 3000+ leaders over the last 15 years from startups to Fortune 100 companies 🔹Often wear suits but have tattoos and speak from my heart 🔹Proud husband and dad 🔹Award-winning filmmaker — “Working with Massimo Backus as my executive coach has been truly transformative.
