The Leadership Identity Institute
Where Clarity and Cohesion Meet
Leadership transitions are rarely neat. You can have the new title, the new office, the strategic vision — and still find yourself standing in the hallway of self-doubt, asking: “Who am I in this now?”
At The LID Institute, I work with leaders in those moments. Because transitions don’t just change your job — they reshape your identity. The question, then, is not just about what should I do in this role, but rather who am I becoming as I journey through this role?
Three Pathways
Coaching
One-to-one coaching for leaders navigating transitions. Together, we explore the identity shifts beneath the surface, so you can move forward with clarity and steadiness.
Workshops
Interactive, identity-based workshops for teams and middle leaders who need cohesion in times of change. These sessions turn the “messy middle” into a space of reflection, sensemaking, and growth.
Consulting
Support for schools and organizations in transition. I help leadership teams recognize and work through the identity dimensions of change — so culture, tone, and trust are built with intention.
Navigating Leadership Transitions
The visible parts of change — new responsibilities, new expectations, new reporting lines — are easy to see. But underneath lies the invisible work of becoming.
Transitions ask us to release old ways of leading, to sit in uncertainty longer than feels comfortable, and to hold the tension between who we’ve been and who we’re becoming.
At The LID Institute, we make that work visible. Through reflection, experimentation, and sensemaking, leaders build an identity that can carry them into their new role with confidence.
You don’t have to wait for clarity before you begin. You begin — and clarity finds you along the way.
Leadership identity is not a fixture, but a process.
