Thriving Leaders
- Are you passionate about making a difference through your work?
- Do you find yourself saying ‘yes’ all the time and giving your energy and time to everyone but yourself?
- Are you feeling worn out and at times overwhelmed?
- Are you ambitious for yourself but holding back from taking on more responsibility for fear of overload or burnout?
- Do you feel pulled in multiple directions, juggling multiple responsibilities, and sometimes feel like you are drowning?
- Are you ready to make a change?
I am deeply passionate about my work and I know how easy it is to burn yourself out by giving so much of yourself to your work, your team, your organisation. You care deeply. You give generously. And you are doing amazing work. But it is coming at too high a cost. We cannot make the difference we want to make in the world if we are exhausted and on the brink of burnout.
The Thriving Leaders Programme shows you how to do it differently. It is based on the heartfelt belief that we can make our difference and thrive.

Week 2
How did we get here?
In this session we will explore the cultural and personal paradigm that can contribute to a life of stress, anxiety and overwhelm and understand the impact this has.
You will learn about a tool that can help you identify patterns of behaviour that are not serving you, build greater awareness and start to take action to make a change.
Week 3
Exploring Power
In this module we explore our relationship with power; power in the old paradigm and the alternative sources of power that are available to us.
Week 4
What's driving you?
In this module you will understand your core drivers, get clarity on what you are moving towards and begin to understand what is standing in the way.
Week 5
Self-Compassion

You will come away from this session with a plan of action and practical steps that can help you move out of a cycle of overwhelm and exhaustion.
Week 6
Vitality
This session focusses on the importance of vitality – pep, pizzazz, power, drive! We’ll look at how this energy drives us forward and how we can keep it in balance. We will identify ways we can access vitality – what enhances this and what prevents it.

Together we thrive
Connection is a core pillar of thriving leadership and central to this programme. As a member of the Thriving Leaders programme you will have the opportunity to connect with your fellow participants both on the group calls and between sessions in a private online space.
This connection and peer support will help you grow a network of like-minded, inspiring brilliant women. You will share and support one another through your journey towards thriving leadership and the connections you make will last well beyond the duration of the programme.
"The group aspect of the course was a really important part for me too. I think it's a brilliant approach, that created a network so we are better able to continue on our journeys"
"I feel privileged to have met other women in leadership roles, all at different points in their career. We learnt so much from each other."
Your questions answered
What is the time commitment?
You will need to commit to 1 x 75 minute call a week for 12 weeks. On top of this there will be short integration exercises to do between sessions. You should plan for a minimum of 2 hours per week to focus on the programme.
What if I can't make a session?
You'll get the most from the programme if you attend the sessions in person but all sessions are recorded and will be uploaded as soon after the session as possible so you won't miss out on any content.
Who is this course for?
This course is for women who are fed up of feeling over-stretched, over-worked and often over-looked. It is for women who want to make a difference through their work. You are passionate, driven and ambitious and are no longer prepared to put yourself last.
I don't work in the charity sector, can I still take part?
Absolutely.
Can I pay by invoice?
Yes. If your employer is paying for your place, email caroline.doran@delivergrow.com and I'll raise an invoice. This will need to be paid by week 3 of the course.
Can I spread the payments?
Yes. You can split the cost of the programme in to three installments. See the Investment section below for more details

Caroline's Story
Not so long ago I was exhausted, overwhelmed and on the verge of burnout. I was working endlessly and felt like nothing was ever enough. I was driven by everyone else’s priorities and mine were nowhere to be seen.
If I wasn’t at work, I was on my phone replying to emails. If I wasn’t replying to emails, I was stuck in my head thinking about what needed to be done the next day, that conversation I needed to have, that conversation that had gone badly.
I felt guilt for not being present for my kids. I felt guilt for not being able to solve all of the problems I was faced with at work. I felt not good enough on any front.
Then one day, sitting poolside waiting for my kids swimming lessons to start my then five-year-old daughter handed me a truth bomb. She looked me dead in the eye and said “Sometimes people are sad.”
I was shell-shocked. “I’m not sad darling. I’m just really tired.” She toddled off to her lesson and I was left facing the truth. I was really unhappy.
I knew in that moment that something had to change. This was not the life I wanted to live. This was not the role model I wanted to be for my daughters.
It started with focussing on me. Then on my work. Then on my dreams.
My life now is unrecognisable from that time a few years ago. What I have learnt since has developed within me a deep passion to support other purpose-led women; women who care deeply and give generously – to be able to make their difference in the world and thrive. Because if we are exhausted, deplete and unhappy we cannot have the impact we dream of having. And making a difference in the world doesn’t need to come at this huge cost.
I have collated what I have learnt in to four key pillars that support a thriving life and career. Through this course you can learn how to implement these tools and lessons in to your own life. Join me and together we can make our difference and thrive.
With over 15 years’ experience of charity leadership I have a deep understanding of what it takes to lead in the sector. I understand how hard it can be to switch off from a job and organisation that is doing important work in the world. Life changing work. And as a certified One of Many women’s leadership coach I have the tools and skillset to support you to thrive in this demanding and rewarding environment.
