BACK
You're holding the centre — but at what cost?
Are you a team lead, coordinator, delivery owner or middle manager constantly navigating between strategy and execution, people and process, leadership and followership?
Many professionals in the middle find themselves absorbing tension from above and below, expected to stay calm, deliver results, support others and manage change. This group offers space to pause, reflect and reconnect with your own clarity, boundaries and resilience.
Join a reflective group for professionals in the middle
Over six biweekly online sessions, you’ll join a small peer group of people who live in the middle: leading without full power, supporting without full recognition. You’ll be guided by two experienced coaches — both with firsthand experience in leadership, delivery and organisational complexity — in a non-performative space for thought and connection.PURO Leading from the Middle group
This group is co-creative, which means we shape topics based on what’s alive in the group. While we offer starting points, the conversation evolves based on what matters most to you. Themes include:- The invisible pressure of the middle
- Power, pressure and boundaries
- Reclaiming clarity and presence
The invisible pressure of the middle
We’ll explore what it means to carry expectations from all directions, and how middle roles often come with deep emotional labour and quiet isolation.Power, pressure and boundaries
We’ll reflect on where your responsibility begins and ends. You’ll explore how to hold authority without over-functioning and how to stay human in complex systems.Reclaiming clarity and presence
Through reflection, conversation and coaching prompts, you’ll reconnect with your own clarity and begin to lead from a steadier, more grounded place.Why this group might be what you didn’t know you needed
- Led by coaches who’ve lived it
- A space where no one needs you to be 'on'
- Designed for complex, busy lives
Led by coaches who’ve lived it
This group is co-led by two coaches, both of whom have led in the messy middle — balancing delivery, people, and change. You’ll be held by people who understand the reality, not just the theory.A space where no one needs you to be 'on'
You won’t need to fix, perform or lead the group. Just bring your reality and explore it with others who carry similar loads.Designed for complex, busy lives
Structured but spacious. Practical but reflective. Sessions are short, focused and easy to join from anywhere.Stop managing everything without being supported yourself
