Leadership coaching

Take on your next big challenge with leadership coaching

Expert guidance on future-fit leadership and transformational change for accomplished leaders

Taking on a challenge where the stakes are higher?


You’ve built a successful career. You have deep expertise, a strong track record and plenty of experience making things happen.

But now you’re taking on something different.

Perhaps it’s a bigger mandate. A bold transformation. Complex change. An ambitious innovation. Or something that hasn’t been done before in your organisation, sector or community.

The stakes are higher. The problem is complex. The challenge is different.

And you recognise something important:

What got you here may not get you there.

You might be asking:

  • What leadership strategies are effective for what comes next?
  • How do I bring people with me through complexity and change?
  • How do I challenge my own thinking when there’s no ready-made playbook?
  • How do I turn bold ambition into meaningful progress?
  • How do I create the conditions for my people to do their best work?

That’s where having an experienced thinking partner in your corner can make a real difference.

I work with accomplished leaders to expand how they lead while helping them navigate the transformation, change or innovation they’re responsible for making happen.

My coaching approach brings together two areas that are both critical to success: future-fit leadership and transformational change.

The goal?

To enable extraordinary outcomes.

From challenge to meaningful progress over three phases


Here's what you’ll experience when we work together.
 

  • Discover: We begin with an in-depth coaching kick-off to understand you, your context, the challenge you’re taking on and what success looks like. Together, we identify where our work can make the greatest difference.

  • Develop: We explore how you might think, lead and operate differently for what comes next, drawing on contemporary leadership strategies, transformational change expertise and practical tools relevant to your situation.

  • Transform: We turn insight into action. We work through real challenges as they unfold, apply new approaches in practice and maintain momentum with support and check-ins between sessions.

Expand how you lead for what comes next


The approaches that have helped you succeed to this point may need to evolve when the stakes, complexity and expectations change.

Leadership coaching gives you dedicated space to step outside the day-to-day, challenge assumptions, explore different perspectives and think more deeply about how you want to lead.

Our work might help you:

  • Strengthen your clarity and confidence in complex situations
  • Expand your repertoire of contemporary leadership strategies
  • Communicate bold ideas and build commitment around them
  • Navigate ambiguity, competing perspectives and resistance
  • Create the conditions for people and performance to thrive
  • Lead transformational change with greater ownership and momentum

Ultimately, better leadership should enable better outcomes for you, your people and the organisation you lead.

 

Explore our future-fit leadership traits


Every coaching engagement is different because every leader, context and challenge is different.

During our coaching kick-off, we'll explore the leadership capabilities that are most relevant for you, drawing on our APPRAISE Leadership Model.


Leadership traits

DareDitchDial

Dare to imagine bigger and lead change that makes a difference


Taking on a significant challenge means being willing to imagine bigger, question assumptions and norms, and enable better ways of working.

My Work in 3D: Dare, Ditch, Dial™ model is a practical way to do exactly that:

Dare to imagine bigger towards a bold, inspring purpose

Ditch outdated thinking, unnecessary complexity and anything holding progress back.

Dial up the leadership, collaboration and practices to enable people and performance thrive.

Because meaningful change often starts with the courage to question what is, imagine what might be and do something about it.

Imagine bigger. Make room for better. Enable extraordinary.

Don't just manage – inspire, innovate and transform

Wondering if leadership and executive coaching is right for you?


My coaching services are perfect for:

  • Accomplished leaders taking on a bigger mandate, significant challenge or something that hasn’t been done before

  • Executives leading bold transformation, complex change or ambitious innovation

  • Leaders navigating greater complexity who value an experienced thinking partner with expertise in both leadership and transformation

But my coaching isn't right for every leader. I might not be the right fit for you if you're:
 

  • Comfortable with the status quo or unwilling to challenge your assumptions

  • Looking for validation, a quick fix or a prescriptive formula

  • Not ready to invest the time and energy required to make meaningful progress

Meet Cherie, your leadership and transformation thinking partner


Hi, I’m Cherie Mylordis, Founder and Director of nextgenify.

I’ve coached more than 70 leaders across 10 countries and spent decades leading, advising and working on transformation, innovation, complex change and new ways of working.

That combination shapes how I coach.

My approach brings together future-fit leadership and transformational change, so we can work on both how you’re leading and the significant challenge you’re responsible for making happen.

My experience spans startups through to global organisations and includes being one of the early members of the Sydney 2000 Organising Committee. Since then, I’ve worked across complex transformations, organisational change, innovation and new ways of working, while exploring what enables people and organisations to do their best work.

I bring that experience into our coaching conversations, together with contemporary thinking, practical frameworks, tools and a willingness to challenge assumptions.

I won’t pretend to have all the answers to your challenge.

But I will bring curiosity, perspective, deep experience and the right questions to help you explore what might be possible and determine what to do next.

While I live in Australia, I work with leaders and executives across the globe.

Imagine bigger. What might be possible?


Imagine making meaningful progress on the challenge that matters most.

Leading with greater clarity through complexity. Bringing people with you through change. Challenging assumptions that are holding progress back. Making decisions with greater confidence. Creating the conditions for your people to do their best work.

And turning an ambitious idea into an extraordinary outcome.

That’s the work I love doing with leaders.

The question isn’t whether you already have leadership experience.

You do.

The more interesting question is:

What challenge are you taking on, and what might significant progress look like?

If an experienced thinking partner could help, let’s have a conversation.
