Executive & Leadership Coaching
Grow into the Leader You Want to Be
The demands of leadership weigh heavily on you.
Every day, you’re stuck in the weeds of the day-to-day operations of the business and your team.
You’re working long hours, often into the weekends, but you never get caught up.
You feel overwhelmed and exhausted. Running on empty.
You’re always ‘on.’
Even at home, you never feel able to switch off, relax, and just be fully present with your family.

You want to rise above the details.
To be more strategic in your thinking and more thoughtful in your decision making.
To maximize the performance of your team by inspiring them, not by micro-managing them.
You want to be the kind of leader who people gravitate towards because they trust you to lead them.
If this sounds familiar, then I have good news for you.
Effective leadership is a skill.
Like any skill, it can be learned.
To get to the next level, all you need is the right leadership coach.

Strategic Leaders Follow These 5 Principles
![Infographic of the 5 principles of Sue Belton’s leadership coaching program, Strategic Leader. The 5 principles are Insight, Insure, Implement, Influence, and Impact.](https://suebelton.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/StrategicLeader-Diagram-gold-navy-opt-2-1024x1024.png)
I’m Sue Belton, PCC, and I’ve been coaching senior leaders, executives, established founders and MD’s like you for over 16 years.
In my work, I’ve discovered there are 5 simple principles that set Strategic Leaders apart:
Every leader I’ve worked with has developed these principles through intentional effort. No one just stumbles into success.
And when you have all 5 it’s a recipe for confidence, success, and the kind of work/life balance that sustains long-term personal and professional growth.
But don’t just do it for yourself.
When leaders become Strategic Leaders, the whole organisation benefits. Companies with strong, strategic leaders see an average of 18% higher profitability than those without (McKinsey & Company)
Teams start working at a higher level which directly impacts the business’ margins, workflow and culture. Your relationships with all stakeholders—the board, your peers, your clients—become productive like never before.
“By working with Sue, I have progressed significantly in a short amount of time – moving from ‘doing’ to ‘reviewing’, leading a team of 30+ and re-establishing working relationships, to name but a few major changes – all whilst a £1bn construction project relentlessly moves on. Whilst a simplification, working with Sue has helped me believe that I ‘belong’ in this leap of my career.

Introducing the Strategic Leader Programme
My bespoke executive coaching programme—backed by neurological research and the latest in leadership development—will grow you into the leader you want to be.
Insight
As a Strategic Leader, you’ll epitomise self-awareness and self-ownership.
You’ll intimately understand your strengths, weaknesses, and tackle blind spots head-on.
You’ll feel curious. You’ll take on full ownership of your actions and feel comfortable doing it.
You’ll exude certainty. And clarity.
“Sue is someone who is top of her game. Sue has all the tools to help you improve your performance and help you get that right balance at work. I’ve felt a ridiculous difference within the 12 months of working with Sue…she is the best career decision you can make.”

“Sue helped me to structure my life better and to not lose focus about what’s important to me. Through Sue’s coaching I feel much better equipped for handling uncertainty. I am also less judgemental with myself, and I protect my priorities much better.”

Insure
By Insuring your mind and body, you’ll set yourself up to maintain peak performance, long-term.
Freed from the mundane, Strategic Leaders prioritise their mental and physical health. This isn’t a luxury, it’s a prerequisite to you achieving your big goals. With exercise in your routine, you’ll flood your body with Success Hormones.
You’ll also be able to turn off your busy brain. To rest, to play, and to connect with your loved ones.
Implement
You’ll learn how to start your day intentionally, to dedicate time to self-reflection and plan out your top priorities. Using tools like the Time-Management Matrix, you’ll cut through the clutter and know exactly what needs your attention today, tomorrow and next year.
You’ll navigate every meeting, interaction, and project strategically, mindful of its purpose.
Your implementation strategy will align with your insights, driving results for yourself, your team, your clients, and the business.
“Sue is an incredibly
astute, insightful and pragmatic coach. Within three months, I gained new
skills to deal with challenging situations on my own terms”
![Headshot of Rebecca Fowler, Head of Customer Success, Semaphore](https://suebelton.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/rebecca-150x150.png)
“I now feel that I am absolutely delivering what my leadership and business want, rather than speculating and just doing the best I can.
Sue has brought a sense of mindfulness, self reflection and belief to my thinking that never would have existed unless we met. That’s quite something.”
![Headshot of Owen Jarman, Commercial Director, EKFB](https://suebelton.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/owen-jarman-150x150.jpg)
Influence
You already know that people are your greatest asset.
As a Strategic Leader, you’ll learn to adeptly communicate your vision and to navigate difficult conversations with ease. You’ll develop empathy, listening skills, and be comfortable both giving and receiving constructive feedback.
Once you master Influence, you’ll watch on as your team aligns with you and your vision, inspired and motivated to do their personal best. And when this happens, it frees you to focus on the higher-level thinking and planning that only you can do.
Impact
With Strategic Leadership skills, your actions carry weight.
You, your team, and the business will make a tangible difference in the world.
When working with clients, you’ll operate from a place of deep insight, implementing effective strategies and influencing positive outcomes.
You spend more time shaping the future and become known as the game changer in your organisation and ultimately, the industry.
“I had recently been
appointed member of the board with a new team of direct reports and difficult
business challenges. Sue’s coaching led to significant improvement in my
leadership.”
