The Influential Leader™

A 12-week private strategic advisory, coaching and mentoring program for executives ready to elevate their leadership voice, influence and presence, no matter the audience, context or setting.


When you lead, your communication is your credibility

The way you communicate, especially under pressure, shapes how others perceive your leadership. But even highly capable, respected leaders can find themselves under-communicating their ideas, vision and value. They often feel anxious or hesitate in high-stakes settings and second-guess their voice when clarity, composure and influence are needed most. When leaders struggle to speak up, they lose trust, buy-in and strategic control. And when the story gets away from them, so does their influence and leadership impact. This program is designed to change that.


What you’ll walk away with

THE INFLUENTIAL LEADER isn’t a generic communication training, it’s a high-stakes leadership accelerator grounded in decades of strategic advisory experience. It’s a deep, strategic communication upgrade anchored in your identity, purpose and leadership context.

You’ll walk away with:

  • Confidence to communicate effectively in high-stakes settings with renewed clarity and strengthened alignment.
  • Proven frameworks to craft high-impact messages and narratives for boardrooms, media, crisis situations, townhalls and change leadership.
  • Commanding verbal and nonverbal presence in any setting, including tense, high-pressure or crisis environments.
  • A clear, resonant leadership narrative grounded in identity, purpose and strategic direction.
  • A customised visibility and brand positioning plan to expand influence and drive mission-aligned results.

Who it’s for

This program is for purpose-driven CEOs, executives, managers and founders across business, government and the not-for-profit sector who are:

  • Leading a team or organisation with a purpose-driven focus.
  • Open to coaching and structured feedback.
  • Committed to showing up and doing the deep work

It is not for you if you are:

  • Wanting quick fixes without doing the deeper reflection and practise.
  • Wanting a wordsmith rather than building your own capacity.
  • Not willing to develop the leadership identity and narrative strategy required to carry your mission forward under pressure..

The experience

This 10-session, three-month program is structured, practical and highly personalised.

Delivery format and inclusions:

  • 11 x 90-minute Zoom coaching sessions.
  • Leadership communication diagnostic and unpack
  • Custom communication architecture toolkit, designed to support message development, narrative structure and stakeholder strategy.
  • Strategic feedback via email or Loom between sessions to support urgent comms and deepen integration.

    The sessions we did with Ros were invaluable. They gave us space to think more holistically and strategically away from the often reactive nature of the day-to-day. Ros has a brilliant ability to empower you to broaden your thinking, to push you to think two or three steps above the issue you think you have, to then see the higher-level solution. My colleague and I often reflect on our sessions with Ros and the way our thinking has evolved as a result.

    I have participated in a number of development programs with Ros over several years, including a comprehensive 10-week mentoring and strategic communications alignment course, where she guided us through the development of an extremely valuable team document.

    Along the journey, the passion and expertise shown by Ros was second to none and it resulted in achieving all outcomes we wanted for our department, including building confidence in each team member’s purpose within our organisation.

    I’d highly recommend anyone leading a team of communications professionals to engage in this mentoring service.
