Let’s be real, stepping into leadership feels big. One minute you’re part of the team, the next you’re setting the tone for it. You’re juggling expectations, decisions, and that quiet thought: am I doing this right?

This webinar is your grounding point. We’ll unpack what early leadership really demands, not more hours, but more awareness. You’ll learn how to lead yourself before you lead others, how your style shapes the culture around you, and why “getting it perfect” is less important than getting it honest.

We’ll explore facilitative leadership as a practical, human-centred approach, one that builds trust, shared ownership, and growth without burning you out. You’ll also leave with simple “leadership maintenance” habits that keep your energy, focus, and relationships strong.

No buzzwords. No impossible standards. Just the truth about finding your feet and leading well from day one.

What you'll take away:

• Clarity on what matters most in your first months as a leader.

• Tools for setting direction without losing connection.

• How to use facilitative leadership to build trust and capacity.

• Mindset shifts that turn uncertainty into confidence.

• Everyday practices that keep your leadership — and your team — thriving.
