Leadership capability that holds under pressure.

Sound familiar?

• Managers promoted for being good at the job — never shown how to lead people doing it
• Conflict that gets avoided until it escalates
• Stress and overwhelm showing up as turnover, sick days and short tempers
• Senior leaders still doing work their managers should own

How I work with organisations

Structured Edge Collective — for middle management

A 12-month leadership development program built around your managers’ real pain points — not a generic curriculum. Group workshops combined with in-person sessions in their own areas, with a Harrison Assessment for each participant.

Topics include: clear communication and difficult conversations · conflict resolution · stress, overwhelm and psychosocial risk · self-regulation and emotional intelligence.

Structured Edge Private — for GMs and Directors

Twelve months of 1:1 coaching, twice monthly, with Harrison Assessments at the start and end to measure progress. Learn more about 1:1 coaching →

Facilitation and conference sessions

Single sessions for leadership conferences and management team days — designed around what your team needs to shift.

Why it works

Grounded in my degree in Cognitive Neuroscience and Health Psychology and measured with the Harrison Assessment. Practical, structured and built for operational environments.

I’m not here to change who your leaders are. I’m here to give them the structure to lead well under pressure.

“I feel calmer, but more driven. Focused, but clearer. More confident, but less selfish. Questioning, but not doubting. I’m closer to the me that I’ve always wanted to be but never thought I had it in me to achieve.

I can’t thank Donna enough for the help and the fun along the way.

I am looking forward to working with her again to break through the next glass ceiling.”
