Manager and leadership coaching in Dublin, for the managers you can’t afford to lose.

Real support for the role nobody trains you for

The transition from individual contributor to people manager is the biggest, least-supported change in most professional careers. People get promoted because they were brilliant at the last job, and then handed a completely different one, often with a half-day workshop and a Slack channel.

I know. I was one of those managers. And I’ve spent years coaching them.

Designed for the manager population you can’t afford to lose

  • Newly promoted people managers in their first or second year

  • High-potential ICs about to step into a leadership role

  • Experienced managers facing a step-change — bigger team, transformation, restructure, scaling

  • Managers returning to the role after parental leave, a sabbatical, or a long stretch heads-down

How it works

A structured programme, delivered 1:1

Six to twelve sessions, over three to six months, delivered 1:1 to each manager. Confidential. Held to the same coaching standards as my private practice. Tailored to each manager’s situation, but anchored in a consistent framework so you can see the pattern across your manager population.

Optional add-ons

  • Group sessions for a manager cohort

  • Quarterly insight summary for HR / L&D — themes only, never names

  • LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® team workshops for the manager and their team

Outcomes

What each manager walks away with

  • Clarity on the kind of leader  they want to be — and the kind they don’t

  • A framework for the hard conversations they’ve been avoiding

  • Concrete language for feedback, delegation, boundary-setting and difficult decisions

  • An honest read on what’s working, what’s draining them, and what to change first

What you get as a sponsor

Better-equipped managers. Lower attrition in the manager population. Visible improvement in the things that show up in engagement surveys but never quite get solved by training.

Lindsay is transformational. She asks you the questions you didn’t know you needed, pushes you beyond your (often self-imposed) limits, and is a whole lot of fun to be around.
