People first with Heart and Pace
You've got here because of your technical skills. As a leader, success relies on a range of other people. You drive success because you combine the efforts of everyone.
Your job now is to inspire and influence those around you. By putting people first you are channelling the collective energy, skills and focus into reaching your goals.
The most successful leaders harness the collective power of human energy and ingenuity to achieve extraordinary results. Human-centred leadership (that's the Heart) is the key to unlocking next level performance (that's the Pace).
Human-centred leadership allows you to move beyond responding to challenges, to be the leader who sets the pace and inspires action.
Accountability is never lost with clear priorities and calm purpose.
I've drawn on my decades of experience leading change projects to create Heart and Pace. The manager you are today will become tomorrow's confident, influential leader, heard at every level, actively shaping the culture and direction of your team, improving productivity, retention, satisfaction and engagement.
Making human leadership the centre of your focus will mean you can up the stakes, up the vision and succeed with those much weightier projects. Whether 'people' is the least or favourite part of your role, to you'll need next level human-centred leadership skills. As Simon Sinek said:
"We become a leader the day we decide to help people grow, not numbers."
Simon Sinek, 2025
Leading with heart doesn't mean letting go of accountability. Demand for effective project and change human-centred leadership has never been higher.
Whatever your role, Heart and Pace can work for you. From 1:1 to whole organisation support. From a single conversation to year-round support, there'll be a programme for you. If your ideal format doesn't exist yet, you only have to ask!

For individuals
Leading with Heart and Pace is to apply a human-centric lens to every practical challenge, unlocking extraordinary performance by multiplying the human effect. Learn the confidence and skills to step into the power of calm, confident, people-centred leadership so you have the true impact your projects need.
To date, dozens of people who have completed my coaching and training programmes are well on their way to being the leader who gets projects done while keeping people engaged:
“Everything is always changing (!) but leading and supporting the process well is the goal. Clare is superb at making this complex area (and others) navigable and people centred. The biggest shift for me has been that move from being good at your job in terms of doing, to focusing on really enabling people to function well.” Val^, programme participant.
