What you'll learn

Spot your “below the line” signals early

Learn how reactivity shows up (in your body, thoughts, behaviours), so you can catch it before it drives conversation

Shift into grounded, above-the-line leadership in real time

Practice simple shifts and resets to use mid-meeting or right before a difficult conversation to regain choice

Stay steady when someone else is reactive

Use a short set of powerful, practical questions to de-escalate tension, without rescuing or getting stuck

Why this topic matters

In the moments that matter most, leaders often lose choice. A tense message, pushback, or conflict can trigger reactivity and you default to patterns you later regret. This workshop gives you a simple way to notice what is happening in you, regain agency, and lead with clarity, steadiness, and trust.

You'll learn from

Anique Coffee

Facilitator-coach for leaders & teams. Braver conversations, clearer ownership.

I’m Anique, co-founder of Gather and Grow, and a facilitator-coach helping teams lead through growth without burning trust, energy, or momentum. I bring 15+ years of experience across organisations including Samsung, Pinterest, Cartier, wework, and UNESCO.

I help leaders name the patterns creating friction, practise better options in real situations, and build clear agreements around expectations, ownership, and decision-making. Then we operationalise the shift with a practical plan. Clear priorities, simple rhythms, and the next right actions that make leadership and culture real in how the work gets done, so the business can hit the growth goals it has set.

Leah Zalinski

Change management for founders and leaders. Building sustainable growth

I'm Leah, co-founder of Gather + Grow, and a change management strategist with 20 years in agency operations.


Before Gather + Grow, I served as Chief Operating Officer at a boutique communications firm and worked inside world-class global marketing and communications agencies serving Fortune 100 clients including Mars-Wrigley, ALDI, Edward Jones, Crown Imports, and Kellogg's.


I work with leaders and founders who are clear on where they're going but whose organizations can't yet keep pace. We help them get honest about priorities, build the structures that create real ownership, and put the rhythms and decision-making practices in place so the organization can actually execute. Clear direction, shared accountability, a team that doesn't need you in every room for things to move.
