The Gold Collection

A series of Thinking Playbooks

Over two decades coaching senior leaders, I notice the same thing: the most capable are often the ones with least time to think about themselves.

What they're carrying. What their strengths are quietly costing them. The conversations they're avoiding.

These eight Thinking Playbooks structure that thinking.

Each one is standalone. Twenty to thirty minutes. Alone, honest, without performance. Built from real coaching conversations and Strengthscope®, the only BPS-accredited strengths psychometric.

Together they address what sits underneath the day-to-day: the load you carry well, the conversation you keep meaning to have, the strengths that have become a risk, the thinking space that keeps disappearing.

Not a programme. Not a course. Fifteen minutes, honest thinking, and a willingness to name what you find.

Download the first one free. Work through all eight in any order, at your own pace.

The thinking is yours.

This video showcases the cover pages from my collection of downloadable Thinking Playbooks. Each Thinking Playbook is built from real coaching conversations with senior leaders, headteachers, principals and CEOs.

Featured Thinking Playbooks:
The Invisible Load Audit · When Keeping Going Isn't Enough · Your Greatest Strengths, Your Biggest Risk · The Hour You Don't Cancel · The Deferred Conversation · The Space Between Coaching Sessions · 5 Thinking Tools: Make Clear Decisions Under Pressure · 6 Hours of Thinking Space

Nadine helped me to quickly change perspective, to act more confidently, to focus on my worth and showed me how I could make an even greater impact.

Our sessions are consistently challenging in the right way. Nadine asks precise, well-judged questions that push thinking and demand clarity around impact. This has sharpened my own practice.
