You can learn to become a great manager.
By exploring your mindset; your ways of thinking, we’ll help you identify what might be stopping you from becoming the confident leader you can be.
We turn managers into confident leaders
How our coaches can help you
What we do.
We all have limiting beliefs, and they can show up in many ways as a manager; imposter syndrome, perfectionism, difficulty managing team performance, anxiety and ultimately a lack of confidence.
Our approach strips everything back to focus on you. We’ll shine a light to help you spot where you are holding yourself back and develop new thinking, approaches and habits so you can get out of your own way.
Whether this is your first managerial role or you’ve just been promoted to the next level, we’ll help you be the confident manager you can be.
Knowledge + skills x mindset = confident manager

What People Say About Our Coaching
“I worked with Danny for a year, who helped me immensely. He is very non judgemental and created a safe space for me to discuss my challenges at work and how to best navigate them. I was able to be completely open, honest and vulnerable with Danny, meaning I could get the absolute most out of my sessions with him. Having a challenging, senior, professional role, in a changing organisation, has left me feeling stressed and overwhelmed at times. With Danny’s guidance we were able to unpick the reasons why I felt a certain way and most importantly, Danny helped me tremendously to get the tools needed to effectively manage my stress and overwhelm in the long term. Danny is very understanding and down to earth and I cannot recommend him enough! During each session he helped me to change my perspective about certain situations I was facing and he also gave me good actionable tasks to undertake to help me through the challenges I was facing. I am grateful to have worked with him and I am confident anyone working with him will benefit hugely from his help.”
— Grace, General Counsel
“I didn’t really know what to expect as I haven’t done it before, but I found it really useful in helping me to clarify my thoughts and consider my ideas and options in a calm, non-judgemental and supportive environment.”
— Sarah, PR
“There are very many coaches available and it can be hard to navigate and find a good fit. I was very lucky to work with Philippa – she is an incredibly skilled and experienced coach and helped me find new practical approaches to some tricky problems. Philippa creates a supportive, non-judgemental space to unpick and resolve issues, and she has an uncanny knack of asking the most insightful questions which enable you to get to the heart of a challenge, look at it from different angles and so come up with new approaches and solutions. Every single session I had with Philippa was incredibly helpful, and the questions and strategies will carry on helping in the future”
— CR, Chief Executive
“I worked with Traction to help work through an ongoing problem with a difficult work colleague. Their support gave me the opportunity to explore a complex and long running problem from a new angle..””
— Em, Marketing Manager
“I came away from the session with Danny looking at my situation from a different angle and had several action points that I could take into the coming week to work on.
— Jay, Personal Trainer
“I had reached a bit of a crossroads in my work life, unsure whether to pursue a new career or explore ways to grow in my current role. I spoke to Philippa about my quandary, she listened and asked thoughtful questions which really helped me to focus on how I felt about my job and what I could do to improve my situation.
After the first session, Philippa set me some achievable targets, all aimed at growing my role within my organisation. Immediately, I found myself approaching work with a positive attitude.
The end result is that I realise I enjoy my job and can see a future in my current position. I really could not have done that without Philippa’s help. Highly recommended. ..”
