1:1 Coaching Programs
QUIETLY POWERFUL – 1:1 Coaching Programs
Understand your natural strengths and develop personalized strategies to lead and succeed in a way that feels authentic to you.
Quieter professionals can become great leaders. They can be observant and wise, influence without being domineering, and are able to take on board many perspectives to help solve complex problems.
However, the path to leadership can be challenging when extroversion, dominant leadership styles and the appearance of self-confidence are more often rewarded.
Are you an aspiring leader who struggles to be seen as ‘leadership material’?
Perhaps you are already a leader who has adapted to act like an extrovert, but are tired of ‘faking’ a style that is uncomfortable and exhausting for you.
I know first-hand the struggle of leading as a quiet achiever. It took some years to understand my own strengths, to stop trying to be louder and value the unique contribution I could make.
Over time, I have developed strategies to succeed in my own way, by experimenting and learning from highly successful quieter leaders who shared their insights. I am firmly of the view that quieter professionals make excellent leaders – sometimes more effective than not-so-quiet leaders – given the right tools and support.
My wish with the Quietly Powerful 1:1 Coaching Program is to help talented, quieter professionals value and fully utilise the quiet power within them.
Before the coaching, I knew there were aspects of my leadership to be strengthened, however, I wasn’t sure how to do this. I now reflect differently on what I do as a leader, manager, and person. I learned how to prepare for confrontation whether it be a meeting or one to one chat. Learning how to structure discussions to keep them short and on point was amazing for me. Understanding how to communicate better with my team, how to be more inclusive in situations where team input is most valuable. I am constantly thinking of how I can apply these learnings and when. I have no doubt I can unlock potential I was once unsure of.

Reviews of Our Quietly Powerful Programs
We’ve been able to pick apart some deep-rooted things and it really surprised me as to how much they influence what I do from day to day. The reflections and role plays really challenged me to think about how I would think, say and do things differently. I think sometimes coaching can sound a little bit daunting but I think it helps you to explore things about yourself that maybe you knew that you were ignoring, or that you didn’t know that would surprise you. It can only help you to become a better person, both professionally and personally.
The powerful coaching process with Megumi allowed me to bring objectivity to not only how I may be perceived, but also how I may perceive others. It assisted me to start accepting the things I cannot change and the courage of my conviction to change from a long-established role to another one, whereby I believe not only myself but the organisation I work for can greatly benefit.
