Head 4 Leadership

23rd April 2026

How Your Brain Shapes the Way You Lead:

My new book – filled with neuroscience backed insights and practical ideas.

What for you makes leading tough?

Take a situation that causes you to feel overwhelm, fear or dread and as a result. For example, you avoid a decision or make one hastily.
What you have done is to act authentically with your feelings; yet sometimes those feelings can mislead you.

What can be unconsciously hindering you?

The Authentic Leader: a guide to knowing yourself and being courageous. It gives you an opportunity be more cognitive and conscious of the (often unconscious) emotions, beliefs and values that steer how you navigate the world.

With guided reflection opportunities to adjust, update, or correct your brains processing (and its resulting habits). With the authors personal examples and those from decades of experience coaching leaders. You’ll also find models, frameworks and questions to reflect on.

Create changes in how you lead (yourself and your team) that will enhance your authenticity, courage, compassion and leadership impact.

You want to lead others, ‘be careful what you wish for’!

Said another shop manager after gaining my first role!

‘Be careful what you wish for!’ were the first words said to me by another shop manager after gaining my first manager role. I was twenty years old and to be honest I was a little unnerved by those words.

Many years, industries and roles have passed since then.
🏅 There have been times when I have felt absolutely on it!, loved it and wholly supported. AND,
⚠️then there have been times when it has felt overwhelming and lonely.


I, like most newly appointed managers and leaders don’t ‘wish’ for overwhelm, mistakes, performance dips or loneliness. Yet, it’s at these times that you have the best chance to learn the most about yourself.

What I learnt from these experiences – that I can find challenges hard and emotionally draining (one included the closing of a business).
But also, that I do have it in me to keep going, re-routing and adjusting what I do and how I feel (e.g. starting/running my coaching business since 2014).


🪄What I wish I’d wished for back then? To be more prepared in readiness for when the going gets tough! To have had dedicated time to knowing my vulnerabilities. To be ready for their appearance and know what to do with them!

✨️My ‘wish’ for you is to give you with a HeadStart✨️
– A standalone HEADSTART session (or you can arrange optional ‘add ons’ for a more taylored programme)
– Creating awareness of your resilience levels (your propensity to perform well under pressure) and
– Access to development ideas and tools to aid you and those you lead.

When influencing others isn’t working, ways to fix it.

The main feature of the latest newsletter

“Leadership is not about titles, positions or flowcharts.

It’s about one life influencing another” John C Maxwell

The main feature of my latest newsletter is one many of us have or will recognise. Leaders have leaders too, and as the case study shows it can be as hard managing up as a leader as it is as a contributor. See if this example transforms how you interact with others

Coach with Dominique

Are you open to challenging your beliefs?

One articles in this months newsletter invites you to ask yourself four questions to inquire into the truth of your beliefs.

I was introduced to these questions earlier in the year and to ‘The work’ of Byron Katie. Coaches need coaches and these questions have helped me to question my perceptions and as necessary, update them.

Leaders can’t and don’t always get it right

Read about ‘Sam’ whose use of language meant he took on far more than his own responsibilities.

The coaching that he embraced gave him heightened awareness and consciousness of the words he was using. It had a big impact on his team’s performance, focus and motivation. The newsletter contains a focus for using the right pronoun at the right time.
