Congratulations to the latest group of people completing their NLP Diploma

Something interesting happened yesterday.
I posted about Overthunk! Leadership and people started getting in touch.
Which is great.

But I also know — because I've spent 20 years working with exactly these people — that some of you reading this right now are doing something very predictable.

You're interested. You know this is probably for you. And you're already talking yourself out of it.
Let me guess. 🤔

"I'll check the dates — I'm probably busy."
You haven't checked. You're just hoping you are.

"I should focus on the team right now, not myself."
Your team would disagree.

"What will people think if I take time out three times?"
They'll think you're the kind of leader who invests in themselves. Which is exactly what they want from you.

"I'm not sure I'm the right level for this."
You are.

"It feels a bit self-indulgent."
Burning out quietly while putting everyone else first isn't noble. It's just exhausting.

"I'll wait and see if there's another cohort."
There will be. At £1,695 + VAT. Just saying.

Here's the thing.
Every single one of those thoughts? That IS the programme. 😄

The overthinking. The people pleasing. The putting yourself last. The worrying what your team thinks. The inability to commit to something for yourself.

That's not a reason not to come.
That's exactly the reason you probably should.
12 spaces. Founding cohort price. Details below. 👇

Something a bit different from me today. 👋

Most leadership training teaches you what to do.
This one teaches you what to do when your own head gets in the way.

I've spent 20 years working with leaders who are brilliant at their jobs — and quietly struggling with the stuff nobody talks about in leadership courses.
The imposter syndrome that gets louder the more senior you get. 😬
The overthinking that follows you home at night. 🌀
The people pleasing that's slowly killing your authority. 🙋
The conversations you've been putting off for months. 😬
The drama that somehow always finds you. 🎭
The boundaries you keep meaning to set. 🚧
Sound familiar?

I've taken everything I know about how people actually work — after 20 years of NLP training, psychotherapy, coaching and working with leaders across every sector — and built it into one programme.

Overthunk! Leadership 🎯
Six days. Three blocks. Small group. No fluff.

If you lead people — or you're about to — this is for you. Whether you're in business, the public sector, a charity, or anywhere in between.
🗓️ Block 1 — Thu/Fri 18–19 June 2026
🗓️ Block 2 — Mon/Tue 13–14 July 2026
🗓️ Block 3 — Thu/Fri 3–4 September 2026

📍 Northallerton, North Yorkshire
👥 12 spaces only
💰 £1295 + VAT
£995 + VAT (third sector / charity/ not for profit)

The first cohort gets a founding price that won't be repeated. After this it goes up — and that's not a sales tactic, it's just honest. 🙌

My personal coaching alter ego

Lovely feedback from successful business owner Sharon- now leading to training and development for Change Working with the wider team

Please take a look at my updated personal coaching site below

You're overthinking everything. Second-guessing decisions. Lying awake at 3am replaying conversations you can't change. Whether you're a busy leader drowning in responsibility or simply someone who knows there's more to life than this – I can help.

Lovely to get an unsolicited review from a happy customer that read my book.

"Great Purchase, worth buying.
Overthunk is a sharp, funny, and refreshingly blunt guide for anyone whose brain won’t stop spiralling, even after years of self-awareness. Instead of the usual soft-focus self-help fluff, it delivers practical, usable tools wrapped in wit and honesty. It speaks directly to overthinkers who know exactly what’s wrong but can’t get their mind to calm down. Equal parts relatable and reassuring, this book actually helps — without making you feel like you’re failing at being human."
