The Future of Coaching Is Here

And It’s One-to-One, Built Around the Leader

When I created Edge Coaching, it came from something I saw in the field over and over again:

We’re asking more from our leaders than ever, but offering less meaningful support.

Coaching isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s a strategic tool. And when it’s done right, it unlocks clarity, performance, and momentum, especially during growth, change, or pressure.

That’s why I designed the 'Unlocq Edge Coaching Retainer' a flexible, neuroscience-led coaching partnership built around the individual leader and designed for the real world they’re operating in.

It’s one-to-one. It’s behaviour-focused. And it meets your leaders where they are, not where a generic model says they should be.

This Month’s Boldest Client: Oxygen ActivePlay & ITV's Ninja Warrior UK Parks

Our newest coaching retainer client is on a growth journey, and they know their leadership needs to grow with them. With a ambitious acquisition strategy underway, guest experience standards to uphold, and brand expansion in play, their leaders are holding a lot. And they’re doing what smart organisations do: They’re investing in the humans driving the business forward.

With the Unlocq Edge Coaching Retainer, we’re:

• Supporting strategic leaders to think bigger, clearer, and bolder

• Helping managers deliver consistent, values-led performance at scale

• Providing the mindset shift needed for agility in uncertain times

• At a cost that wont kill their budget

What Your 2026 Leadership Strategy Needs Now

Here’s what I know from the field:

• You don’t need more content, you need more capacity

• You don’t need a one-size-fits-all programme, you need a suite of solutions

• You don’t need a 50-page plan, you need a clear map to real behavioural shifts

That’s where the Unlocq Leadership Suite comes in:

Aspire – For emerging leaders ready to step up

Flow – For people managers navigating team complexity

Pivot – For change leaders in fast-evolving environments

Elevate – For senior execs leading systems and culture

And at every level, Edge Coaching for one-to-one, precision support.

We’re also launching 'Lead Forward 2026' a campaign that helps organisations build a board-ready leadership strategy for the year ahead, starting with our Leadership Readiness Scorecard, live workshops, and personalised strategic whitepapers.

Because we know the future is already knocking.

Thought Leadership That Resonates

As Peta Young, People Director at Oxygen ActivePlay said recently:

“Supporting our leaders to succeed is the only way.”

I couldn’t agree more. Unlocking potential, one mind at a time.

If you’re a CEO, CPO, or Senior HR Leader thinking seriously about leadership development this year, and you want something that’s smart, grounded, and ready for the pace of 2026…

Let’s talk.

Because the future of leadership isn’t installed, It’s unlocked.
