Tell me if this sounds familiar:

You’re stepping up as a leader. You have a chance to make a real impact. You’re making big decisions that affect your whole organisation.

But it’s hard to do on your own.

You have an idea of what you want to do, but you want to know that you’re making the right choices — and that you’re doing things in the best possible way.

You’re not alone. Everyone I’ve worked with, from individual contributors to first-time managers to CEOs, is dealing with the same thing. It all comes back to confidence.

That can look like:

  • Struggling with work-life balance
    Because you have trouble delegating and trusting anyone else to do it right

  • Not knowing how to develop a personal brand that showcases your best self
    Because you don’t how to do it in a way that feels authentic

  • Getting stuck in the problem instead of taking action
    Because you’re afraid of making the wrong choice, so you keep putting it off

  • Feeling like you can’t show up as your whole self at work
    And knowing you could have a much bigger impact if you just let yourself shine

  • Spending all of your time in meetings
    And not making time for the strategy that can take you to the next level

But confidence isn’t some innate quality that great leaders have.

Confidence is a skill that you can develop. So is leadership.

  • "Yota has an amazing talent for putting things into a new light and making you reconsider your own thinking patterns, especially when you can't see the forest through the trees. I cannot recommend coaching with Yota enough."

    Robin Nierynck, Manager, Digital Communications at Delivery Hero

  • "I was coached by Yota during one of my toughest career transitions, moving from a mainly technical hands-on role to a managerial position. I would highly recommend working with Yota if you want to define your leadership identity and harness your natural talents to inspire others."

    Ciro Rizo, Head of Engineering at The Telegraph

  • "I worked with Yota through my transition into a senior role, where she coached me through leadership, empathy and self-confidence. Yota is able to quickly identify underlying mental models and patterns, and nurture and challenge my thought processes in a way that helps me apply learnings in the real world."

    Masato Higgs, Head of Product at Flink

  • “Yota has a lot of energy, and is an expert at bringing insights and an alternative perspective. She’s not a passive coach who will ask the same classic reframing questions. She’ll challenge you to grow, and hold you accountable to the plans you make. If you invest the time and energy, you’ll be repaid with generosity, empathy and the great reflections that she brings.”

    Paul McKenna, Engineering Manager at Kry
