Supporting Leaders in Their Development, Team Alignment, and Company Strategy...
So that they can confidently lead their
teams and organization into the future.
Believe Me...I Know Your Pain.
I’ve Been There...
It's 2 AM, and you're wide awake, staring at the ceiling. Your mind races with a jumble of thoughts about your packed day---meetings you have tomorrow, your team's upcoming deadlines, and all the other things competing for your time and attention. You're already feeling the guilt of likely letting your loved ones down again by missing something important to them. Your workday hasn't even started yet, and you already feel overwhelmed and stressed by the weight of it all. You feel stuck and want a change.
And I've Been Here...
After dinner, you're sitting at your laptop with a pit in your stomach trying to draft thoughts of what to share with your team about recent budget cuts and hiring freezes. You want to stay positive and try to help keep them motivated through this challenging time, and it feels inauthentic because you feel anything but. You know there might be a recession on the horizon, and you feel so uncertain about the future. You feel alone and unsure of what to do.
Yep. Been Here Too...
You're in your car headed to the office mentally preparing for the 360° review with your supervisor once you get there. You feel less than confident and doubt your leadership capabilities despite your past achievements. You're afraid it's just a matter of time before others realize you don't belong in the role. Your imposter voice is on overdrive amplifying your self-doubt. You decide to practice some deep breathing, and turn on some upbeat music to try to help calm your nerves. You want to feel consistently confident like all the leaders you admire and who inspire you.
And...I Know It Can Be Different for You.
What If...
Checking your smartwatch at the end of the day, you see positive messages instead of the usual onslaught of urgent fires to put out. A text from one of your managers thanking you for coaching them to solve conflict with two members on their team. An email about a key project your team completed and how happy the customer is about it. And Slack messages from direct reports about the progress made this past week on strategic objectives. You feel proud, knowing it's all without your constant involvement and oversight because of the work you've been doing on your leadership. You smile as you realize you're done with work in time to join your family for the evening's events. You pinch yourself...can this really be your new reality?
Imagine This...
You confidently walk into your next 360° review because you know the work you’ve been doing on your mindset and leadership, and so does your supervisor, peers, and team. You are proud of and see the real impact for your efforts of expanding your capabilities. There is no doubt in your mind that you’ll achieve your professional goals, the company's strategic goals and help those around you achieve their goals too. Your imposter voice doesn't know what to say. You do...Boom! Mic drop.
Picture This...
You close your laptop after a virtual session with your business coach. Sitting there, you feel good, optimistic even. You're grateful you're no longer dealing with all this craziness alone. You have support and structure to help you plan, make decisions and move forward in the face of uncertainty. You feel more like your authentic self, motivated and certain you can lead your team through adversity. You've got this, and you know it!

Josh Ellison has been a business coach and facilitator for the past 10+ years, and has worked with hundreds of leaders and managers along the way. His mission when founding Leader Circles was to help busy leaders and managers like you integrate personal and professional growth and support into your daily lives with minimal friction and maximum impact.
It's important to note that Josh has been where you are. He's often been called a "leader of leaders" or "the CEO whisperer".

When Josh isn't working with leaders, he enjoys walking with his wife, Kirsten, hanging out with his adult children, savoring a delicious over-priced coffee, or listening to some jazz while sipping an old fashioned with his favorite bourbon.
