Leadership Challenge Coaching - Weekly Power Hour

### What we're about

Finally, a safe space where new leaders can be real about their struggles.

Leadership can be lonely. Most new managers have nowhere to talk about their challenges without fear of judgment or looking incompetent. That's why we created Leaders Lab - a space where you can drop the "I've got it all together" act and get real help from peers who actually understand.

We don't promise to solve all your problems - we promise you won't have to face them alone.

### Here's what makes us different:

We start where other leadership coaching or workshop sessions are afraid to go - with the messy, human side of leading others.
In every session, you'll join leaders who are dealing with the same things you are:

• The fear of being exposed as "not good enough"
• The struggle to set boundaries without feeling like a jerk
• The frustration of leading people who don't seem to respect you
• The exhaustion of constantly second-guessing your decisions

### What happens in each session:

1. Arrival & Grounding (5 min)
We quickly create a container of trust where vulnerability becomes your superpower.

2. Journaling (3 min)
A guided prompt helps you connect with what's really weighing on you.
3. Sharing Round (10-15 min)

This is where the relief begins. You realize you're not alone - other smart leaders are facing the same struggles.

4. Hot Seat Breakthrough (25-30 min)
We work deeply with 1-2 participants on their current leadership challenge. You'll witness real transformation as we uncover:

• The hidden patterns beneath surface-level problems
• Simple frameworks for immediate use
• Embodied practices to shift from anxious to authoritative

5. Action & Commitment (10-12 min)
You leave with one specific experiment to try - and the confidence that comes from knowing exactly what to do next.

### Why leaders keep coming back

"Finally, a place where I can admit I don't have it all figured out and get real help from people who get it."
Recent breakthroughs:

• The manager who learned to stop people-pleasing and start leading
• The tech lead who finally got his team to respect his authority
• The new manager who silenced her imposter syndrome
• The project coordinator who mastered influencing without formal power

### Who’s this for

New managers, emerging leaders, and anyone recently promoted who needs a safe space to figure things out. Come with your doubts, frustrations, and challenges - this is exactly what we're here for.

### What you'll gain

• Practical solutions to your actual leadership problems
• The relief of knowing your struggles are normal
• Concrete frameworks you can use immediately
• The confidence that comes from proven methods

No judgment. No corporate BS. Just real leaders helping each other through the messy parts of growth.

### Important: This isn't comfortable work

Growth requires honesty, and honesty can feel uncomfortable.
Think of this like going to a doctor or a lawyer: the more clearly you describe your symptoms, the better we can help. You'll need to:

• Share what's really not working (not just the surface issues)
• Be open about your fears and uncertainties
• Sit with the discomfort of not having immediate answers
• Listen to perspectives that might challenge your assumptions

The discomfort is where the growth happens.
