How to be a respected leader in 2026 (The mid year reset)
The 4-part system to reset your authority this year
SECURE YOUR SPOT:
Worried your team don't respect you?
If leadership currently feels like:
- everything comes back to you
- you’re constantly firefighting
- and you’re questioning whether you’re “doing it right”
This session is for you.
In this free live workshop, Heather Elkington will walk you through The Leadership Level-Up Matrix, a practical framework used by thousands of managers to stop people-pleasing and regain control of their time.
This is not a fluffy reflection session.
It’s a reset of how you actually operate as a manager as we go into H2.
You’ll leave clearer, more confident, and no longer the bottleneck your team relies on for everything.
What you'll learn:
How to fix the mindset traps that keep you overworking and second-guessing yourself
How to create accountability without micromanaging or chasing people
The exact way to handle conflict and feedback so it builds respect, not tension
A simple prioritisation shift to get out of the weeds and back into real leadership

Heather Elkington
Heather began her career as an Assistant Manager on the Harrods shop floor.
She went on to help scale the SaaS company GoProposal to multi-million-pound revenue and an eight-figure exit, before joining Sage (FTSE 100) as Director of Operations, leading five high-performing teams.
After seeing how outdated most management training had become, Heather founded Fresh Leadership World, which has now trained over 5,000 managers worldwide and reached tens of millions online. Her clients include global organisations such as Sony Music Publishing, the Ministry of Defence, Abercrombie & Fitch, American Express and Specsavers.
It was this same frustration, watching great managers fly blind, armed with annual surveys and gut instinct, that led Heather to Custard, a culture intelligence platform that gives managers real-time insight into how their teams are really feeling, and exactly what to do about it.
She is a TEDx speaker and a Penguin-published author with her debut book 'Your Boss Era.'
