How it works
Answer 30 quick Yes / No questions to produce your score and identify your strengths and areas for improvement.
Your day to day experience and results as a Leader can be massively improved when you know exactly where to focus your attention, rather than relying on existing habits and techniques that are no longer helping you get to where you want to go - what got you here isn't always going to get you there.
If you're not careful you can stay stuck in the weeds, convincing yourself that it's just part of the job. All the time your work life balance, confidence and headspace is chipping away, leaving you feeling exhausted, being all things to all people, and wondering if you've really got what it takes.
The thing is that it's the small tweaks that can make a massive difference to your day to day results, but these can often go un-noticed as you try and keep your head above water.
This score-card will show you exactly where you need to be focusing your effort to get the best results.
Using your answers you'll receive a report outlining your next steps, to enable you to make the changes that will impact all areas of your life.
Your report is full of information about how to:
- Step out of the weeds and be more pro-active and strategic in your business.
- Have more work life balance and time to switch off and re-charge.
- Work smarter and not harder so start to make real progress without last minute panic.
- Grow your self confidence as a leader.

Hi, I'm Barbara Nixon...
I'm a Success and Leadership Coach, and consultant with nearly 30 years experience in the Leadership and People Development space.
Over the years I've worked with 1000+ of Leaders to help them get past the blocks that are holding them back and to feel like the leader they are. I've also seen first hand how powerful it is for the leader, their teams and the business when leaders invest in their own development, and look at how they need to tweak their mindset, habits and performance.
Taking leaders from feeling stuck in the weeds, struggling with self doubt or fear of failure, with no work life balance or headspace, to feeling back in control, empowering their teams, and being able to switch off with confidence.
I'm the author of The Boss Hat, a self guide for Managers and Leaders, the host of Smash Your Own Ceiling podcast and I'm passionate about Leading Yourself First to achieve your version of success.
I've also been featured in BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour, BBC Radio 2's Jeremy Vine Show, Addicted2Success, Training Zone, Tut.com, BBC Radio Leeds, and BBC Radio Sheffield.
Outside of work I'm married to Dave and together we have 4 (grown up) kids and a crazy puppy who just loves the sound of her own voice. I'm also a big reader of autobiographies, and personal development books, being out and about, and can usually be found not too far away from a cup of decaf tea!
Don’t just take my word for it, see what others have to say
I have been working with Barbara for around 18 months and the support she has given me has been invaluable. When we first met I had some seriously ingrained habits that were affecting every part of my life. With Barbara's help and guidance I have managed to turn it completely around. I'm like a different person. I feel more in control, have more confidence and more importantly I am much happier at work and at home. Imposter Syndrome has been defeated. I cannot recommend her services highly enough.
Charlotte Thomas - Senior Risk Manager
“I was looking for a coach to help me with a specific issue and ,after an initial cuppa and chat, I knew that Barbara was the person I needed to work with! She listened to me, understood me and reassured me which made me feel relaxed, comfortable and confident. She helped me work through the issue by helping me understand, rationalise and come up with my own solutions by helping me to get to the core of the issue. At the same time it always felt Barbara was there with me, metaphorical arm round my shoulder, guiding and encouraging. She makes the complex feel uncomplicated and after every session I felt positive and inspired. Thank you Barbara,! I look forward to working with you more as a trusted guide on my business journey” Andy Bennett, Managing Director

“Working with Barbara has enabled me to shape and implement a set of personal objectives that have materially improved my performance as a leader. Barbara has that natural ability to make you recognise your own potential and help to guide you towards it. Therefore due to her help and advice I have grown more confident in my role being able to look at different approaches then focusing on taking action. Barbara has been instrumental in helping me to “hold up a mirror” to myself in order to see myself as others do. Barbara is enlightening, inspiring and reflective. I would definitely recommend Barbara’s coaching services.”
Jim Smith, Managing Director
Barbara Nixon is an extremely engaging person and has the very rare ability of being able to develop a keen understanding of an individual or situation accurately and efficiently. Through this insight and her undoubted and very understated intellect, Barbara has been able to assist in helping to support key members of my team, identifying where change is both wanted and required and being able to tailor a programme for each person designed to help them and the business achieve on-going progress and improvement. Barbara is very engaging, extremely good fun and someone that others find it easy to relate to and engage with. Her various tools including some expert advice on bespoke reading materials along with practical and everyday training aids and techniques are both inspiring and effective. Comfortable in communicating at any level, Barbara is a person I would strongly recommend if you or your business is need of change, inspiration or wishes to challenge the status quo in order to keep moving forwards.”
