It is whether you can hold the leadership line when pressure rises\, expectations increase and others still see you as the specialist they already know. PR and communications professionals are being asked to lead in a very different environment. Expectations are higher. Resources are tighter. Middle layers are thinner. Scrutiny is sharper. And the margin for leadership misalignment is smaller. Many practitioners are promoted because they are excellent specialists. But broader leadership requires more than technical credibility. It requires earning your leadership licence to operate – a conscious shift in how you see yourself\, how others experience you\, how you hold pressure and how you influence the organisational environment around you. From Specialist to Strategic Leader is a practical two-part online workshop for PR and communications professionals stepping up into broader responsibility. It helps you build the architecture underneath your leadership so it holds under pressure\, expands as your role grows and lasts. And when it drifts\, you can find your own way back to your leadership line. Across two interactive sessions\, you’ll explore the kind of leader you’re becoming\, how to hold under pressure without over-functioning\, how you’re currently seen by others and how to map the stakeholders\, expectations and alignment gaps shaping your environment. You’ll leave with practical tools\, sharper self-awareness and a focused 30-day leadership plan to strengthen your confidence\, influence and impact\, without burning out or being pulled back into specialist delivery. If you’re preparing for that move\, newly stepping into it\, or already feeling the stretch of broader leadership responsibility\, this workshop is designed for you. Step up with clarity\, resilience and influence – without burning out. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Introducing Your ExpertsLindsey Brittain\, Director\, Turas Consulting & Coaching Limited Every strategy drifts once the work starts.

It helps you build the architecture underneath your leadership so it holds under pressure\, expands as your role grows and lasts.
