No one teaches you how to be a great leader, but getting it wrong can make or break your career.


Today, I’m sitting down with Heather Elkington, the Gen Z leadership coach who’s helped thousands step up with confidence.


Heather started as a young manager at Harrods, struggling with imposter syndrome, tough feedback, and impossible workloads. Now she’s trained leaders at American Express, Abercrombie & Fitch, and FTSE100 companies and she’s here to share what actually works.


If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed or unsure as a leader, this episode is for you.
