Gail Logan - Leadership Coach - Kore Transformation

06/10/2026

I find it really satisfying seeing the growth and achievements of my clients. When you join my programme one of the first things you do is take the Leadership Heatmap - which assesses your competence across a number of key leadership capabilities. This is the progress one of my clients made in just 6 weeks of working with me. She leaped from 67% to 84% - that's a material difference!

This is testament to the transformative impact that the work I do with my clients has.

DM me if you'd like to chat about how I could help you with your impact and presence as a leader.

I still remember the moment my MD told me I needed to work on my executive presence.

It was like a kick in the gut, because when you're already lacking confidence, and struggling with executive presence, the last thing you want is for someone to point it out to you.

I was lucky to be offered the opportunity to work with a coach and that changed everything for me.

But often, senior women are told they need to work on the Executive Presence without any guidance or support on how to do that.

I've created a quick Executive Presence Indicator that gives you practical insights and recommendations that will help you right now without having to be someone you're not.

It only takes about two minutes.

I'll put the link in the comments.

30/09/2026

You’re toggling between tabs, chasing a half-cold coffee, and rewriting that email for the fourth time - because you’re not sure if it sounds confident… or cold.

Your calendar’s a jigsaw puzzle of 30-minute back-to-backs, and you just got invited to a “quick check-in” that will definitely run over.

You’re mid-slide-deck when your direct report Slacks you “Got a sec?”

Someone else has asked for your thoughts “by end of day.”

And your boss wants to “talk strategy” - but hasn’t said why.

You’ve got two versions of the same document open because you can’t remember which one you last updated.

You can’t remember what you were doing before the last interruption.

And the idea of making a decision without triple-checking it? Feels risky.

But none of this shows.

Because on the surface, you’re steady.

Reliable.

Calm under pressure.

But inside?

You’re tired of being the safe pair of hands while your brain is on high-alert.

You’re tired of smiling in meetings while thinking, “Was that the right thing to say?”

Of taking responsibility for everything while wondering, “Am I actually doing enough?”

You’re not indecisive.

You’re running strategy, delivery, and self-doubt all at once - in your own head.

You’re not lacking capability.

You’re carrying too much mental noise while trying to lead clearly.

And when you’ve been operating in that state for long enough, it becomes very hard to tell the difference between:

a genuine development area
and a nervous system that’s permanently braced for judgement

That’s exactly why I created the Executive Presence Indicator.

Not to score you.
Not to tell you how to become more polished or perform confidence better.

But to help you understand where your executive presence is already strong - and where self-doubt, overthinking, or visibility habits might be quietly undermining you in rooms you already belong in.

You’ll walk away with practical insight, personalised recommendations, and a much clearer picture of how you’re showing up as a leader.

Because most women I work with don’t need to become more impressive.

They need to stop questioning themselves every five minutes.

Most women aren't at breaking point when they join the Inner Circle.

They join at the almost point.

Almost burnt out.
Almost resentful.
Almost fed up with managing everyone else’s emotions while minimising their own needs.

Outwardly, it looks fine.
Inside, it’s exhausting.

This is the space where you stop carrying every decision on your own.
Where you say the thing you haven’t said out loud yet.
Where clarity replaces the constant mental spin.

Not because you worked harder.
But because you stopped trying to do it all on your own.

The Inner Circle is a high-touch, long-term coaching space for women who want sustained support, proper challenge, and room to think clearly as they lead.

Not a drop-in programme.
Not a motivational hit.

It’s a 12-month commitment because clarity, confidence, and ease aren’t built in a sprint – they’re built with consistency and the right people around you.

Here’s what that actually looks like:

Monthly group coaching to work through what’s real, not theoretical

Ongoing support via a private WhatsApp group – no shouting into the void

Quarterly 1-to-1 coaching to go deeper on your leadership decisions

Two in-person Leadership Escapes each year in Central Edinburgh – protected time away from the noise to reset and think properly again

The investment is £250 per month.

Not because this is “premium”.
But because this level of support, trust, and depth requires commitment – from you and from me.

Leadership is harder than running - and you don’t train for a marathon by dipping in when it suits.

If you’re at the almost point, you’ll know exactly why this space exists.

Here's the link with all the details or DM me to chat about how it works and if it would be a good fit for you:

When you're in a situtation where you think you need to make a choice try seeing it differently.

So instead of 'it's either this or that' ask yourself, what would it take to have 'this and that'?

So replace the 'or' with 'and'.

A simple change in language can open up a wealth of possibility.

09/09/2026

You already speak up. But you dilute your authority in the first 10 seconds with “I might be wrong” and “this is just a thought.”

That’s not humility.
That’s self-protection.

It sounds small. It isn’t.

Those opening words tell the room how seriously to take you. And when you downplay your own thinking, people follow your lead.

The irony?

You’re usually the most prepared person there.

You’ve thought it through.
Run the risks.
Anticipated objections.

Meanwhile someone else walks in half-ready and states their opinion like it’s policy.

This isn’t a confidence issue.

Confidence is a lagging emotion.

This is about tolerating the exposure of speaking cleanly.

No disclaimer.
No verbal shrinking.
Just the point.

It will feel uncomfortable at first.

Good.

That’s the edge between competent and authoritative.

And most women I work with are already more than competent.

They’re capable.
They’re credible.
They’re carrying the weight of the team.

But in the first few seconds of a sentence, they quietly hand their authority away.

Not because they’re unsure.
Because they’re managing risk.

Managing how they’re perceived.
Managing the possibility of being wrong.
Managing the chance someone might disagree.

Executive presence isn’t about becoming louder.
It’s about becoming cleaner.

Cleaner language.
Cleaner recommendations.
Cleaner positioning.

Instead of:
“I might be wrong but…”

Try:
“Based on the data, this is the direction I recommend.”

Same intelligence.
Very different impact.

The thing is – most of your dilution patterns are invisible to you because they feel normal.

That’s why I created the Executive Presence Scorecard.

It shows you:
– Where you’re unintentionally weakening your authority
– How you respond under pressure
– What to sharpen first

Not generic advice.
A clear debrief.

If you’re ready to stop softening your brilliance and start landing your point – take it here:

No more waiting.
No more hiding.

Lead like the level you’re already operating at.

This quick indicator (2 mins) reveals how your presence is currently showing up and how you may be perceived in senior rooms.

Visibility isn't vanity.

And your organisation cannot value what you continually make invisible.

That's uncomfortable for a lot of brilliant women.

Because you've been taught that good work should speak for itself.

Keep your head down.
Deliver.
Be a team player.
Don't make it all about you.

So you deliver the project that had been stuck for six months.

You navigate the politics nobody wants to acknowledge.

You get three departments pulling in the same direction.

You improve the numbers.

And when somebody senior asks how it's going?

"Good thanks. Busy."

You have just performed the corporate equivalent of landing a plane in a hurricane with one engine on fire and you've filed it under "busy".

This is where modesty starts becoming career limiting.

Visibility isn't about becoming louder.

It's about making your contribution visible enough for other people to understand it.

What did YOU lead?

What did the team deliver?

What changed as a result?

That's not bragging.

That's evidence.

And if you're hoping someone senior is quietly keeping a detailed spreadsheet of all the excellent things you've done while you modestly get on with the next crisis...

I wouldn't build a career strategy around it.

Your organisation cannot value what you continually make invisible.

And this is exactly the kind of thing we'll work on inside my new IGNITE 1-2-1 pilot.

Not fixing you.

Not teaching you to become more "confident" or perform some shiny version of executive presence.

Helping you see your strengths, articulate your impact and stop disappearing from your own leadership story.

Because you're already doing the work.

It's time to make sure it's visible.

If you're doing work that matters but you're tired of watching your contribution disappear into "we", "busy" and "it was nothing really", I can help you change that.

Not by making you louder.

By helping you get crystal clear on the value you bring, communicate your impact without feeling like you're bragging, and make sure the right people understand what you're capable of next.

Because being brilliant at your job isn't enough if nobody can see the evidence.

DM me now and I'll show you how I can help you get clear on the value you bring, communicate your impact without feeling like you're bragging, and make sure the right people see you as someone ready for bigger opportunities.

Because you shouldn't have to work even harder to get ahead.

You need to stop making the work you're already doing invisible.

You might be wondering what changes when you're in my inner circle.

The biggest shift isn’t confidence.

Confidence is a lagging emotion.

What changes first is this -

You stop over-preparing.
You stop second-guessing decisions you already know the answer to.
You stop mistaking emotional labour for leadership responsibility.

You speak sooner.
You hold boundaries without over-explaining.
You trust your judgement again.

Not because someone “fixed” you.
But because you finally had space to think without noise.

The Inner Circle isn’t about doing more work on yourself.
It’s about removing the static that’s been clouding what you already know.

This a deliberately intimate programme capped at a maximum of 6 members.

There's a lot of fake stuff out there. I'm the real deal! 😉

05/09/2026

I used to think the hardest part of leadership was 'doing it right'.
Turns out, it’s saying it out loud - especially when the stakes are high, and the politics are thicker than the strategy deck.

You know the drill - you’ve spent three days drafting an email.
Not because it’s complex.
Because it’s political.

A restructure’s being pushed through that looks neat on paper - but you already know exactly where it’s going to break:

Tim in Ops, already drowning in escalations.

CSAT scores, still fragile from last month’s dodgy release.

Suzy, who’ll end up managing Customer Success and the office move and morale.

You, left holding the fallout.

You want to speak up.
But the second-guessing kicks in:

Will I sound difficult? Am I undermining someone? Is it even worth it?

You rewrite the message.
You rehearse imaginary backlash.
You ask your partner, who says “just be honest” - which is about as helpful as a chocolate fireguard.

And all the while, you’re thinking:

Why is this still so hard, when I’m meant to be good at this by now?

You need a safe space to say it messy - before you say it clean, where it counts.

That’s exactly what happens inside The Inner Circle.

You get a consistent, confidential space.

You bring the knotty, political, high-stakes stuff.
I help you name what’s really going on, clarify your thinking, and work out your next move.

And you’re not doing it alone.

You’re surrounded by smart, experienced women who are leading through the same complexity you are - who ask sharp questions, spot patterns, and offer the truth you won’t get from your peers or your partner.

It’s part sounding board, part strategy room, part sanctuary.
With people who won’t let you shrink, spin, or dilute yourself.

You leave every conversation knowing what you’re going to say, why it matters, and how you’ll hold your ground.

That’s what shifts things. Not generic advice. Not mindset work.
