Leadership Coaching
Develop the leaders in your organisation
Focused 1:1 leadership development for organisations navigating growth, restructuring, M&A, transformation and other significant change.
I work with senior leaders individually, helping them strengthen the judgement, adaptability and leadership capacity they need to perform as their role and organisational context evolve.
“I found a deep sense of confidence that I have been missing for some time.”
Tracy Isacke, Head of Vendor Relationships, Silicon Valley Bank
As your organisation evolves, new possibilities for leadership open up.
Change can expand a leader’s role, influence and contribution. Greater responsibility, rapid growth, restructuring, M&A or a new strategic direction can all invite experienced leaders to think differently, widen their perspective and discover new ways of leading.
Leadership coaching creates the space to explore that territory and step into what comes next with greater clarity, judgement and confidence.
It helps your leaders:
- sustain high performance without being consumed by the pace and pressure around them
- create greater capacity through others
- operate more strategically and focus their attention where it creates most value
- exercise sound judgement in complexity and uncertainty
- grow their commercial confidence, client relationships and ability to create new business
- increase their influence across teams, stakeholders and organisational boundaries
- adapt how they lead as their role and the organisation evolve
The leader names the journey
Every coaching engagement starts with the organisational context and what is now asked of your leaders.
But there is no predetermined coaching curriculum.
Each leader gives their own development journey a name, something that captures what this particular chapter of their leadership is really about.
That act is powerful in itself.
It creates direction, ownership and personal meaning, while giving a touchstone to return to as circumstances change and the work develops.
From there, we work with the real decisions, relationships, challenges and opportunities they are navigating.
Meet Amanda
I’m Amanda Muckalt, founder of Love Change®, author of The Stability Effect® and creator of IRON™ for Change Agility. When you commission Leadership Coaching through Love Change, I work personally with each leader.
I started my career as a Chartered Accountant with KPMG, working across Audit, Corporate Finance and global client development before moving into leadership development, coaching and change.
For more than 20 years, I’ve worked with leaders and organisations including Aviva, Canon Europe, giffgaff, GSK, HSBC, Norton Rose Fulbright, O2, Stockdale Martin and WTW.
More than coaching
My work combines skilled coaching with commercial understanding, challenge, perspective and practical frameworks.
Depending on what the leader and situation require, I create space to think deeply, while bringing experience and ideas into the conversation where they can help.
My approach is underpinned by IRON™, the Change Agility framework I created to strengthen four capacities:
Inner Steadiness · Reading the Environment · Overcoming Challenges · Never Done
Together, these help leaders stay steady enough to think clearly, read what is changing, navigate what gets in the way and shape what comes next.
How it works
A focussed 3-6 month leadership development partnership
There is a clear structure around the work, while each leader’s journey is individual.
Orientation (60 minutes)
We begin by establishing what is changing, what the organisation needs and where development could make the greatest difference.
For organisation-sponsored coaching, the sponsor usually joins the first 15–20 minutes, so that we begin with a shared understanding of the context and what meaningful progress would look like.
The remainder of the Orientation belongs to the leader. We establish the direction for our work and they name their journey.
Six 1:1 coaching sessions (up to 90 minutes)
Sessions take place over 3–6 months, usually fortnightly or monthly depending on the pace of change, the leader’s context and what will best support their development.
We work with what is live: decisions to make, conversations to have, relationships to navigate, patterns to understand and opportunities to act on.
The Change Agility Scorecard provides an additional lens on development, and I bring tailored perspectives, practices and frameworks where they will help.
Leaders also have direct access to me between sessions for brief support as situations arise.
Closing review (60 minutes)
We step back from the journey, recognise what has changed and identify what the leader wants to carry forward.
Where appropriate, the sponsor joins us to reflect on progress and next steps.
The content of the 1:1 coaching conversations remains confidential throughout.
One leader, or several
Leadership coaching can be commissioned for an individual leader or for several leaders around a shared business context or need.
For example:
- leaders stepping into greater scope or responsibility
- a leadership population navigating growth or restructuring
- key people leading an integration following M&A
- leaders who need to operate more strategically as the business evolves
- valuable talent whose continued development matters to the organisation’s next phase
Each person has their own confidential, highly tailored coaching journey, while the organisation provides the wider context and intended outcomes.
For several leaders, I can create an organisational coaching package that is more cost-effective than commissioning each engagement separately.
Organisational leadership coaching packages start from £10,000.
The impact of leadership coaching
I adapted my approach to leadership
Amanda provided expert coaching during a key period as I transitioned between roles.
Her style enabled me to really connect mindfully with how I adapted my approach to leadership. Each session was thought provoking and very useful.
The confidence to move forward
Amanda helped me not just identify my strengths and how I used them but most importantly she helped me really believe in myself and my strengths. Amanda got me to dig deep and explore actions I had taken and actions I was planning to take.
By getting me to look at things from lots of different angles, I got to know myself and have much more confidence in myself as a result. This ground work has given me the springboard I needed to take charge of my leadership and move forward with purpose.
At the back end of 2024 I realised that 23 years of running my own business, dealing with demanding clients, and managing a team of 20 employees had left me professionally burnt out, lacking in direction and facing an unfulfilling future.
Amanda’s Leadership Coaching programme helped turn my head and find renewed professional enthusiasm. She is an extraordinarily knowledgeable business coach, challenging where she needs to be, empathetic and insightful. Just what my situation needed.
