All of the leaders I work with are highly capable. They're trusted, respected and great at what they do. What changes isn't their ability. It's the nature of the role.

At a certain point leadership stops being about doing great work and starts being about how your decisions land across the whole ecosystem: the client, the team and the business all at once.

That transition is rarely named.

Great people are promoted because they are strong operators, good with clients and well regarded by their peers. Then responsibility widens. Decisions carry more weight. Conversations feel more exposed. How you show up starts shaping delivery, culture and commercial outcomes in ways that aren't always obvious at first.

So you're figuring it out as you go. Working harder than you need to. Getting pulled back into delivery. Your team isn't clear on what you expect.

This is costing you time, energy and credibility.

Above the Line is a structured, 6-month group programme for senior leaders who want to move from firefighting to leading, from second-guessing to deciding, and from working evenings to having boundaries that hold.

You'll sharpen your vision, strengthen your decision-making and build sustainable, high-impact leadership practices.
