Leader’s Growth Track
Walrus Path for mid-level leaders
Sounds familiar?
Being promoted into leadership is exciting… until reality hits.
You’re still the go-to “doer,” and delegation feels like creating more work instead of less.
You care about your team, but you’re exhausted by their constant questions, conflicts, or underperformance.
You try to be approachable, but struggle to set boundaries and get things done.
You spend evenings reworking things your team should have handled - and the guilt of not “leading right” keeps you up at night.
You wonder if you’re cut out for this at all.
Most new leaders are set up to fail because no one teaches them how to lead people. As the pressure builds, too many end up burned out, or stuck pretending to be someone they’re not.
The Leader’s Growth Track is not about changing who you are.
It’s about bringing the best of you into leadership and letting that be enough.
Phase 1:
FIND YOUR BASE
Phase 2:
TRACE THE TRAIL
Phase 4:
GET TO THE TOP
Imagine standing at the foot of a mountain, map in hand, not sure if you’re even facing the right trail. That’s where we start — mapping your position: who you are as a leader, what really matters to you, and where you want to go.
Ever had that nagging feeling that you’re working hard, but you don’t really know why anymore? Like you’re just reacting to what others want, instead of being driven by your own compass?
Here, you’ll finally see your “why” clearly — so when the climb gets tough (and it always does), you’ll know exactly what keeps you moving.
Once you know your base, it’s time to choose your trail. We dig into your toolbox — how you think, make decisions, and what you do when things get messy. Together, we’ll spot the blocks that keep tripping you up and learn how to work around them.
Maybe you keep saying yes when you should say no. Or you catch yourself overthinking, replaying the same scenario a hundred times without moving forward. Or you’re stuck in the loop of “I’ll just do it myself.” Sound familiar?
By the end of this phase, you’ll know what’s been holding you back and how to stop it in its tracks. You’ll have tools to keep moving, even when storms roll in.
This is where everything comes together. You put new habits into practice, track your progress, and see real results — in yourself, in your leadership, and in your team.
Ever notice how you get fired up after a workshop or training… and then two weeks later, you’re back in old habits? That’s what we avoid here.
By this point, you’ll not only feel more confident, but you’ll have systems that make the change stick. You’ll know you can handle whatever comes — because you’ve already climbed this mountain once, and now you know how to climb it again.
Every climb has storms — the doubts, the fears, the conflicts that drain your energy. This is where we train resilience: learning to face challenges head-on without losing yourself.
You know those nights when you lie awake, replaying that tough conversation, or beating yourself up for something you didn’t say? Or when a conflict drags on at work and you can feel the tension every time you walk into the room?
Here, you’ll learn how to move through setbacks faster, handle conflict with more calm, and stop carrying the weight alone.
Phase 3:
CLIMB THROUGH THE STORM
Imagine your leadership journey as mountain climbing.
Here you see the phases of the coaching process. The journey is completely personalized to you, although the logic of the phases remains.
