Why capable leaders start to doubt themselves, and the six-phase way back to self-belief. The new book by leadership coach Niki Corbishley, coming early 2027.
For capable, senior leaders who look like they have it all together, but privately question their worth, second-guess their decisions and feel tired in a way rest doesn't fix. If you've spent years being there for everyone else and lost sight of yourself along the way, this book is for you.
Through the story of Sarah, a leader drawn from real experiences that many readers will recognise, the book explores how self-doubt creeps in quietly under pressure, and why it isn't a personal failing. It then takes you through the six-phase way back to self-belief, with reflections you can use straight away.
After twenty years in HR, I left my HR Director role exhausted and doubting myself. As I rebuilt, I kept meeting capable leaders who were quietly going through the same thing and blaming themselves. I started writing with a pencil in a €2 notebook on a beach in Mallorca, and this book is the result.
"Coaching gave me the space to pause, reflect, and really consider what I want from the next stage of my career and life.
The biggest shift has been in my confidence and self-belief - I’ve gone from questioning my worth to recognising the value I bring as a leader.”
"Niki has brought about a total 180 change in my mindset. She has enabled me to think more positively about people management and has given me the tools to manage conflict without drama or intervention.
Through her Coaching I have grown into a more confident leader, a more positive person and a more acceptant human being."
Supporting high-achieving people leaders to redefine success, reconnect with purpose, and create a career and life that truly fits.
