WOMEN'S LEADERSHIP COACHING
Executive presence, confidence, and leadership communication under pressure
Women leaders don’t lack capability, ambition, or intelligence. What they often carry is more complexity, higher visibility, greater scrutiny, and unspoken expectations about how they should lead, communicate, and show confidence. Under pressure, this can quietly erode presence, clarity, and voice.
This women’s leadership coaching supports leaders to develop grounded confidence and non-performative leadership communication, so you can speak with clarity, navigate challenge, and lead with authority without over-adapting, over-explaining, or shrinking.
Leadership Confidence That Holds Under Pressure
Confidence in leadership isn’t about projecting certainty or “leaning in” harder.
It’s about self-trust, regulation, and clarity, especially in moments that matter most.
This coaching focuses on strengthening:
-
executive presence in high-stakes situations
-
clarity of thought and expression under pressure
-
the ability to stay grounded in feedback, conflict, and decision-making
-
leadership communication that builds trust rather than tension
The result is confidence that feels authentic, steady, and sustainable, not performative.

How We Work
This is one-to-one leadership coaching designed for real leadership contexts, not abstract development. We begin by identifying where pressure most affects your leadership: meetings, visibility, feedback, stakeholder dynamics, or decision-making.
From there, we work with:
-
Presence and self-regulation, so you respond rather than react
-
Leadership communication practice — so your message lands with clarity and integrity
-
Real-world application, so confidence grows through lived experience, not affirmation
The work is confidential, grounded, and directly connected to your day-to-day leadership reality.
What Clients Often Notice First
Greater clarity.
A steadier presence.
And more confidence in conversations that previously felt charged or draining.
"Shivani has been fantastic in helping me to gain better clarity around my own values and worth and to help me to see things through a different lens."
Linda Ransom, Director, American Express
“Working with Shivani helped me gain clarity on my leadership goals and break thought patterns that were holding me back. Her values-centred approach challenged me to think beyond the ‘normal’ and see situations from new perspectives. I felt more confident, grounded, and clear in how I showed up as a leader.”
