Authentic Leadership Confidence is that magical ingredient all great leaders possess. It’s this certain substance that enables them to step into daunting challenges with certainty, clarity and calmness, in order to create meaningful impact within their organisations, their communities and in the world.
Yet, maintaining confidence in a leadership marketplace that is increasingly growing in demand and pressure, is one of the biggest challenges us leaders face. These days, leadership positions are filled with anxiety-ridden mindsets and long hours that take a toll on our relationships, volatility, uncertainty and complexity.
But here’s the thing, it’s our performance in pivotal leadership moments that can be success defining; either making or breaking our career and the impact we want to make. If we are not able to bring our A-game to critical key performance situations, it ultimately leads to burn-out and disastrous impact to our health and well-being.
That’s why I created The Confidence Lab. We need our leaders to be operating at their optimum level, because they are in a position of influence to lead their teams, and their organisations – and ultimately, the world - through copious amounts of change, uncertainty and instability.

In examining the leadership development industry, I see that a lot of wasted time and effort is spent dealing with the symptoms of low confidence rather than the cause itself. This is something I want to address because we’re wasting money on ‘band-aid solutions’ and we’re not leaving leaders with the capabilities to manage their confidence throughout their career.
I launched The Confidence Lab to put Authentic Leadership Confidence in sharp focus and to ensure that organisations are equipping their leaders with the necessary strategies and mindsets, to lead effectively in this rapidly changing world.

After many years in Consumer Electronics industry around the globe I decided that I would challenge myself by entering into a new sector. I was very cognisant that there would be a huge learning curve and whilst I had varied experience, I was feeling vulnerable and excited to change. I reached out to Rob to help me navigate through the early days of that change. The change was not easy and it was excellent to have someone I could reach out to and share what was happening and given Rob’s experience and nature it ensured I was able to navigate clearly and soundly. I would not have been able to make that successful transition without his coaching and help. Above all else, in my view he created an independent “sounding board” and framework that ensured I keep everything in check. I learnt a lot of new skills and whilst the new surroundings were scary and sometimes intimidating, the discussion with Rob was challenging, supportive and thought provoking. I learnt a lot about myself and gained a lot of new skills. I have used the framework many times since. Rob became my Coach, but I consider him also my friend.
I have been working with Rob for over a year now. After having made a large change to our business, I was looking for a personal coach outside of the organization who I could feel comfortable with to bounce ideas and challenges off. As a leader of an organization going through a massive change, I found it of huge benefit to be able to confide in someone like Rob in every day challenges, whether it be business or personal related. Since having started with Rob, I feel more confident in my leadership style. I have since enrolled a couple of my Leadership Team members through this same coaching program and have engaged with Rob to run a full day “Re-Invent” workshop. This is a workshop designed purely to bring a leadership team together in helping define what the key priorities for taking the business to the next level are and helping define what to let go of. A workshop that I would highly recommend for any team!
I was given a recommendation by my manager to work with Rob Wilson at a time where I needed assistance in navigating my future career. Luckily for me I had been afforded options and was at a crossroads in terms of a selecting a pathway to continue my leadership journey. It was important for me to ensure that I could get into a headspace that would allow me to make a clear decision I could be confident with. Rob worked with me to raise awareness of my values and motivations which was crucial to understand my internal drivers, identify gaps and create a career narrative. Rob’s coaching has allowed me to open my mind to different perspectives, engage in deep reflection and challenge myself. I was able to connect and feel comfortable with Rob immediately. He possesses a professional, insightful and thought-provoking approach, and I would recommend him to any leaders who are about to forge into the next stage of their career or utilise executive coaching to enhance their leadership skills.
Working with Rob was an amazing experience! I was a leader that lacked confidence and had self-worth issues. Rob was able to provide a range of tools and frameworks to allow me to understand how to change my way of thinking and take immediate action. At times, the process was confronting and I took a number of leaps of faith along the way. Rob was able to support, coach and guide me introducing a range of concepts and knowledge that enabled me to make real change. Rob understands people and is able to challenge them to think differently, guiding them to make positive change. The outcomes were almost immediate starting with a feeling of lightness, the weight of the world lifted from my shoulders. Some of the outcomes of our work together included stronger relationships at work, better facilitation skills and an ability to coach and mentor colleagues so that they too grew as leaders. I am a different person both professionally and personally as a consequence. Today I continue to grow as a leader, I feel positive, calm and happy. This has empowered me to focus and achieve my life goals. Thank you Rob, you have changed my life.
I started working with Rob when I had just been promoted to Marketing Director and working for the first time on the Executive Team. I wanted to make sure that I hit the ground running and so I enrolled the support of Rob to help me in bringing my best leadership to this new opportunity. Working with Rob was great and through our work together I was able to experiment with new styles and approaches to leadership in a way that felt safe. He approached each coaching session with an openness and ability to explore a breadth of leadership topics. Through insightful questions and frameworks I was able to rethink my leadership style and try out new approaches. This has enabled me to build stronger team performance through empowerment, and deeper relationships across the organisation.
Working with Rob was fun. His interaction style and visionary leadership as a high-performance coach was open and easy to relate too, very friendly and confident. He has an ability to create real people engagement by bringing out the strength-based qualities of the team and developing them into a greater team potential. The REINVENT program was an excellent learning process and stepping stone that opened the door to reset the team’s mindset, putting past negatives behind us, acknowledging individual contributions and collaborating, maximising our strengths in teamwork. It also taught us stress management tolerance not to get caught up in the minor issues that cause us to lose sight of our goals. Thanks to the work we did with Rob, the overall mood of our team is one of optimism and happiness.
