I help leaders in new or bigger roles get clear on what their role needs and lead confidently from their strengths.
Your new role is asking for something different from you
Whether you were promoted, hired into a new job, or handed more scope, you’re now responsible for a bigger team, bigger decisions, and higher-stakes results. You may be working harder than ever, while quietly wondering if you’re cut out for this.
You don’t have to have it all figured out. Together, we get clear on what your role really needs from you, uncover what’s holding you back, and build on the strengths that will carry you forward.
Let's figure out what your new role really needs from you.
Common challenges
Does leading in your new role feel harder than it should? You’re not alone. Most leaders in a new or bigger role run into a few of these:
Still being the go-to expert for your old work while trying to lead the new
Jumping in to fix problems your team could solve
Telling yourself you’ll delegate more, next week
Managing people who used to be your peers
Leading managers for the first time, or leading experts in areas you don’t know
Sitting in back-to-back meetings with no time for the work only you can do
Putting off a hard conversation you know you need to have
Second-guessing decisions you used to make easily
Finding your footing with senior leaders or the executive team
Still figuring out what’s really expected of you in this role
Capable people struggle in new roles because the strengths that got them here start working against them, often in ways they can’t see. That’s not a flaw. It’s a sign you’re ready for the next level of leadership.
Imagine if…
Your team brought you solutions instead of waiting for your answers
You walked into hard conversations calm and clear
You made decisions with confidence and stood by them
You knew you belonged in the role, and the people around you could see it too
You don't have to figure it out alone. I've helped leaders earn promotions, turn around situations that put their jobs at risk, and lead with far less stress, and I can help you too.
4 Steps to Leadership Growth
Together, we get clear on what your role needs, find what’s holding you back, and build new ways of leading that last.
Clarity & Alignment
Understand what your role really needs, align with your organization’s goals, and picture the leader you want to become.
Leadership Mindset
See the patterns and beliefs pulling you back, and the strengths underneath them, so you lead with intention instead of autopilot.
New Ways of Leading
Identify the skills your new role needs, then build them in your everyday work, from quick experiments to high-stakes moments.
Lasting Momentum
Make your new habits hold up under pressure, and leave with a clear plan to keep growing after coaching ends.
Two ways to work together
Both of my one-on-one coaching packages follow these four steps, built around your real work. The difference is depth and time.
Groundwork: Grow Into the Role. Six sessions over up to three months, focused on the one pattern costing you most. Ideal for a strong start in a new or bigger role.
Deep Roots: Lead With Lasting Confidence. Twelve sessions over six months, with 360 feedback and a leadership assessment. Ideal for a major transition, when you want support the whole way through.
Hi! I’m Tine. I was 25 when I co-founded my first business and found myself managing a team with very little training in leadership. As an “accidental manager,” I redid work late at night, said yes to everything, and quietly wondered whether I belonged. My own experiences led me to help others along the leadership journey.
Today I'm an NYU-trained leadership coach with more than 20 years of experience in leadership and consulting roles across technology, government, utilities, and nonprofits. I live in Spokane, WA, and coach leaders across the U.S.
The successful, confident leader you want to be is already in you. My job is to help you clear the way and step into your full potential.
