The Growth Minded Leadership Platform
Most high achievers don’t lack leadership. They lack a way to recognise it, describe it, and prove it.
That matters — because if you can’t see your own leadership, you’re less likely to speak up for it, less likely to be recognised for it, and more likely to miss the promotion or opportunity that should have been yours.
The Platform with its 'Stick Figure' Framework is a translation engine, helping you turn what you already do into clear evidence of leadership.


The Blueprint for Recognising Your Own Impact
THE FRAMEWORK
The Growth Minded Stick Figure Framework is a unique coaching methodology built from years of working with people at every stage of their careers, from those just starting out to those leading at executive level. The core insight behind it is deceptively simple: talented people consistently struggle to see and articulate who they are as a professional. They have the evidence. They lack the language, the structure, and most critically the self-belief to use it.
Your Base — The Ground You Walk On
Before we talk about leadership, we need to know what you actually do. Not your job title. Not a list of responsibilities. The real craft, the real skill, and the level of complexity you operate at. This is the Base: the foundation of your work, and the starting point for being understood properly.
Your Leadership — The Spine
Once the Base is clear, the next step is to understand your leadership. We use the Spine to map ten core leadership dimensions, from Strategic Thinker to Builds High Performing Teams, and assess each one in two ways: the evidence in your stories, and your own confidence in owning it. The difference between those two scores is where the insight lives — it shows where confidence is low, where stories are missing, and where action is needed to close the gap. Using your real work examples, the framework identifies leadership patterns, highlights habits to strengthen, and turns insight into practical actions that help you lead with greater clarity and confidence.
Your Opportunity — The Head
The Head represents where you are going next: the promotion, the new role, the board presentation, or the career pivot you are working toward. It helps you define the opportunity, identify the leadership dimensions that matter most to succeed, and then filter your past stories to remind you of the evidence you already have. From there, you can build and refine a practice pitch, capture the key points rather than memorising a script, and set clear objectives and actions that move you toward a stronger, more successful outcome.
THE HEART OF THE FRAMEWORK
Your stories are the evidence.
This framework is built on real experience — not claims, not adjectives, but things that actually happened, the choices you made, and the outcomes that followed. The more stories you capture, the more powerful the framework becomes. Over time, your catalogue becomes the most complete, evidence-based picture of your professional identity you have ever had.
