Leadership is tough

Leadership isn’t just about strategy - it’s about people.

In today’s fast-changing world, leaders must be more than subject matter experts and do more than set direction; they need to be experts in people.

Leaders must develop the people skills to build trust, inspire, communicate and build strong, resilient teams. Organisations need to create a positive culture, drive engagement, and create meaningful connections.

At Growth Space, we believe human connections are the foundation of great leadership, thriving teams, and sustainable business success.

We help leaders, managers, and teams strengthen human connections by deepening their understanding of themselves and others. Our Executive Coaching and Leadership Development Programmes are rooted in purpose, culture, values, and leadership principles - helping businesses create engaged, high-performing teams that thrive.

We believe human connection is the key to leadership, happy teams and
business success

Testimonials

  • “Not only have the leadership workshops been full of useful topics and discussion points but it’s forced us to all sit down together, come up with solutions and as a consequence improve our relationships and communication."
    Co-founder, Northern Rye

  • "Polly always receives fantastic feedback for the guidance and advice she provides and she is reliable and efficient. It is a pleasure to work with Polly and I look forward to continuing to work with her on both current and future programmes. I know that she will bring her abundance of talent and ability to anything she takes on."

    Business Manager, School of Business, University of Leicester

  • “Over 5 months of coaching with Polly, I can’t quite believe the impact and difference it has had in this short space of time. Her supportive and empowering approach has truly transformed my professional journey, making me a more confident and capable leader. Her insightful guidance has equipped me with essential skills to face challenges head-on and get out of my comfort zone to stretch me through a period of growth. I would recommend to anyone seeking out a coach, particularly if you have imposter syndrome or going in to your first leadership role.”

    Head of People & Culture, Wahaca

  • "Polly has been my coach for more than a year, helping me to adapt and respond to the many challenges that I encounter leading a growing business. She has fantastic insights and can always point me towards useful resources. But she's also a great listener and very easy to open up to. I would recommend Polly to anyone who's trying to make changes in how they navigate life and work."

    CEO, Form the Future

  • “We held a Stress and Resilience workshop for the whole business. It not only benefitted me personally but also helped the whole team understand more about the implications of stress on themselves and our business, as well as ways to build resilience. Polly worked with me from the start, to understand how our business could potentially be affected by stress and the external factors that influence this and built the workshop around our needs making it bespoke to us, rather than an ‘off the shelf’ package.

    I would happily recommend Polly to any business looking to help their staff and business develop beyond the day job”

    Partner, Brooks Leney

  • “We all felt that there was real value in the discussion and discoveries, and like it was the beginning of something really great. You are an excellent facilitator and did a wonderful job of eking out meaning and keeping us on track when we strayed.”

    Head of People & Cuture, Two Tribes Brewery
