Some of this harder than you expected?
Maybe you're putting off a conversation.
Maybe you're not sure when to step in and when to let go.
Maybe you're trying to manage your team, your boss and yourself at the same time.
Or perhaps nothing is dramatically wrong. You're just discovering that leading people is a different job from being good at your job.
Turns out people are complicated.
Most new managers don't need another generic lesson in leadership every time something gets difficult. Sometimes you need some space to work out what's really going on.
What would we actually do about it?
We start with what's happening.
We slow things down enough to see the situation more clearly.
​We work out what's really going on, what you can influence and what your options might be.​
And then you decide what you're going to do.
Sometimes a useful leadership tool or different perspective helps.
Sometimes it doesn't.
The aim isn't to make a simple problem sound complicated.
It's to help make a complicated problem clearer.
01
What's happening?
02
What's really going on?
03
What can I influence?
04
What will I do?
Does that actually help?
People I've worked with tend to describe the value in remarkably practical terms.
Connor Wicheard, who I've worked with and supported, said he leaves conversations with:
“new ideas, thought processes or things to try.”
He also described those conversations as helping him as he transitions into the leader he wants to become.
Kimo Morrison, who I've coached, described feeling that I genuinely had his back and that the coaching helped him emerge with:
“clarity and confidence.”
That's broadly what I'm trying to create.​
Space to think. Enough challenge to see things differently. Something useful to do afterwards.
Who is Green Peak for?
Green Peak is deliberately focused on people who are relatively new to leading others.
Managing one or two people for the first time
Moving into responsibility for a small team
Newly promoted
Taking on more responsibility without much preparation
You don't need to be failing.
You don't need to be in crisis.
And you definitely don't need Executive written across your office door.
You're new to leading people and some of it is harder than expected.​​
We'll work through the situations you're facing now while helping you become more confident and capable of handling the next ones yourself.
