Our Story
Wendy Derrick
Founder & Lead Trainer
With over 50 years of experience of leadership & management, training, coaching and mentoring between them, Wendy and Geraint incorporated Leading Confidently Limited to further their passion for transforming organisational culture by developing outstanding leaders and creating high performing teams.
The company has gone from strength to strength over the past 10 years due to our commitment and our core values which serve as the cornerstone of the business. Our core values include integrity, empathy and unwavering dedication to our clients’ success. They are inherent and sacrosanct can never be compromised.
I am passionate about developing transformational leaders and changing culture by creating high performing teams. This in part is because I have experienced the impact of empowering and life changing leadership but also felt the powerful impact poor leadership and toxic cultures can have on individuals and all aspects of their life.
Passionate about People Development
The Founder of Leading Confidently Ltd, I am a multi award winning, ILM L7 Executive Leadership Coach and Mentor, a qualified Leadership Trainer and Assessor and DISC Trainer. I have many years of leadership & management experience in policing, education and third sector. I’m also a Master Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) Coach, Master Practioner of TimeLine TherapyTM, Master of Hypnotherapy and Kinetic Shift Practioner. These skills set me apart from other leadership coaches and trainers. I’m able to use my Master NLP skills to help leaders get out of their head and out of their way, so they get the mindset shifts they need for effective leadership.
Own Your Own Mind
I know first hand the challenges leaders face in today’s complex and changing environments. I also know what it feels like to inwardly struggle to get your voice heard.
I have experienced a crisis of confidence and struggled with Imposter Syndrome and self doubt so I know exactly how limiting self beliefs can hold you back in your career. However, I also know what it feels like to thrive at the top of your game, to feel confident and empowered and have the ability to dismantle those limiting self beliefs and banish self doubt.
I have trained and coached literally hundreds of people throughout my 30+ years in L&D in public (policing & education), private and third sector. I have equipped my clients with a tool kit of leadership and psychological strategies that have enabled them to transform their leadership capability and achieve long lasting, powerful mindset shifts. I can help you to do the same!
Giving back
Whether its in the UK or overseas, empowering people through learning and development is what truly motivates me. Our flagship Confidence programme #OwnYourOwnMind supports clients to get out of their own head and out of their own way, to achieve the results they have only dreamed of, enabling them to live a confident and fulfilled life.
