How leadership coaching helped elevate this manager’s career

When Rose Lines stepped into the role of Strategic Risk Manager at the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development, in addition to leading a team of three full time staff, she was required to advise the executive team in the risk management space.  Rose felt she needed some leadership coaching to help her be effective in liaising with the executive team whilst also managing her team.

“We didn’t have anything internally that was specific to my needs, so when I suggested to my manager about leadership coaching with Natalie at Incredible People, he was very supportive because he already knew of her reputation as a leadership coach and the great work she does,” Rose said.

Rose booked ten coaching sessions with Incredible People and initially met with Natalie every fortnight via Zoom.

“Nat helped me set goals on being able to support the core executive team and gave great insight on how to work with each of them. We worked on how to get traction, how to build relationships with people who are busy, how to phrase things in the risk management space so that they become visible. It also helped me realise the strategic impact that I have in the organisation, which gave me confidence in realising the value of what I do.

“Prior to each session Rose completed the Incredible People session preparation form, which required her to outline what she had achieved, how she had achieved it and identify what she needed to work on.

“Preparing for each coaching session in a structured way made me reflect on how I saw my role and my impact on the organisation.”

“During the ten coaching sessions my manager also saw a difference, so much so that when he went on his secondment for 9 weeks, he put me in his role, leading three teams.”

“I would definitely reach out to Incredible People again to help me reach my career goals. Working with Nat was a fantastic experience as I learnt so much and the support was really specific to my role.”
