Empathy Coaching
with Leanne Butterworth

Whether you're seeking 1:1 support or the power of a peer group, Empathy Coaching helps you lead with clarity, confidence, and connection. Through evidence-based tools and safe, guided reflection, you'll develop healthy empathy—for yourself and your team—so you can handle tough conversations, reduce burnout, and build a culture people want to be part of.

👉 Available as personal coaching or small-group experiences.

"I found the sessions with Leanne super helpful and allowed me to unlock another side of myself at work. The sessions were well thought out and designed to allow me to feel relaxed and safe. I have learned that I can still have boundaries in place without being reactive and whilst showing empathy to others. I am more open with others, more empathic to behaviours and less reactive."

In this powerful peer-supported space, you’ll learn how to lead with healthy empathy—practically, strategically, and without losing performance. It’s not about fixing people. It’s about building trust, resilience, and connection—starting at the top.

Clarity, Growth, Empowerment.
