[You're invited] How to stop people pleasing as a manager
The 4-step process to earn respect
Hey team,
When I got my first couple of management roles, I failed… a lot.
Not because I didn’t care, but because I cared too much.
I was a classic people-pleaser in a leadership role, paranoid about saying the wrong thing, softening feedback until it lost its point, and over-explaining so nobody felt uncomfortable.
But over the years, I worked alongside some of the greatest managers in the game: from multi-mil £ business builders to FTSE-100 CEOs.
I started learning, writing things down that I’d noticed as patterns, then putting them into practice in my own work.
With these methods, I became a confident, respected leader too (whilst still feeling authentic).
My team respected me and my feedback conversations were effective.
And now I want to show you….
💥 How To Gain Authority (Without Apology) 💥 The 4-step process every people-pleasing manager needs to earn real respect
This is a 60-minute practical masterclass for managers who want to be calm, clear and respected.
This masterclass is for you if:
You want to be respected without becoming someone you’re not.
I’ll give you the 5 authority-setting sentences that shift your tone from tentative to trusted (without sounding cold).You want to stop fearing conflict and have your words land.
We’ll cover a structure that builds up the confidence to say hard things clearly, even when emotions are high (and your team are sensitive).You want to stop saying yes out of guilt, and start setting boundaries that build respect (not resentment).
Learn to say no gracefully but focus on the right things, and model the kind of calm authority people actually trust.
This won’t be another preachy, fluffy “step into your confidence” pep talk. It’s a practical reset for managers who are done being walked over and ready to be respected, without losing their kindness.
