An Evidence-based Approach

Unlock Your Mid-Career Potential with Essential Skills and Strategies

Our coaching programs are designed to support managers and directors in navigating the complexities of leadership at this pivotal stage. Tailored to address the unique challenges and opportunities of mid-career professionals, our experienced coaches provide the guidance and strategies you need to thrive in an ever-evolving business landscape.

A Tailored Expertise & Personalized Approach

Our coaches bring a wealth of industry-specific experience, ensuring that our coaching is comprehensive and tailored to your profession's unique demands. We stand out by providing a highly personalized coaching experience. No two career journeys are the same, and our approach reflects this belief, allowing us to address your specific needs and goals. At FRONTIER Leadership, we focus on the gap between leadership and performance in the areas of values-based leadership, negotiation, career strategy, strategic positioning and work-life integration.

Competency Development

We strive to close the equitable competency performance gap for women in leadership through facilitated learning and customized development.

Leadership Effectiveness

At FRONTIER Leadership, we champion an evidence-based, equitable, and values-driven approach to leadership. Many leaders, particularly women, enter mid-career without the foundational tools they need to thrive. This gap often manifests as imposter syndrome, self-doubt, and perfectionism, leading to exhaustion and, eventually, burnout. Traditional leadership training tends to focus on surface-level solutions, offering few lasting benefits.

Re-establish your leadership foundations with a comprehensive assessment of your values, strengths, styles, and competencies. Integrate leadership and performance management strategies for greater alignment and measurable results. Apply advanced techniques to elevate your business strategy and amplify your organizational impact. Strengthen your leadership profile through a refined personal brand—polishing your resume, cover letters, LinkedIn profile, and biography. Hone a leadership approach that aligns with your values and ambitions, enhance decision-making skills for impactful career choices, and master the art of building high-performing teams that foster innovation and success.

Negotiating Your Worth

Negotiating your worth as a mid-career professional can feel overwhelming and disheartening. You might find yourself at a crossroads—either having secured a few equitable roles and ready for more, or experiencing a frustrating stall in financial progression despite your increased contributions. In some cases, being undervalued for too long fosters feelings of inadequacy, resentment, and helplessness. It’s time to break that cycle and stop under-valuing yourself. Through our coaching programs and personalized sessions, you’ll gain the clarity and tools needed to understand who you are, what you truly offer, and how to confidently position yourself for success in any negotiation.

By distinguishing between worth and self-worth, addressing barriers to advancement, and assessing your assertiveness, you’ll build the critical skills to negotiate effectively—whether for compensation, leave, or client relationships. Our three-day leadership intensive will guide you in identifying your desired salary, understanding your market worth, reviewing compensation trends, and mastering the art of leading impactful compensation conversations. Understanding your value is the first step toward career profitability, and mastering negotiation ensures you secure what you deserve.

Career Strategy & Interview Success

Mid-term career planning is essential to proactively manage your progress and navigate the ever-changing Canadian labour market. Design a career strategy for transition, advancement, or succession that aligns with your values and goals. Build a framework to identify opportunities, lead with authentic presence, and develop leadership competencies.

Through interview trials, refine your stories, speaking points, and presentations to hone your skills and manage expectations. Whether climbing the corporate ladder or exploring entrepreneurial paths, create a clear roadmap to confidently advance your career and achieve your aspirations.

Strategic Positioning

Mid-career is the perfect time to gain a competitive edge by strategically aligning your expertise, leadership presence, and career goals. Understand systemic barriers to advancement, your role as a woman in leadership, and the power of collective influence. Build situational agility to navigate work conversations and networks with confidence, positioning yourself to seize opportunities and drive meaningful impact. 

Work-Life Balance for Mid-Career Women

Achieving work-life balance in mid-career is essential for long-term success and well-being. At this stage, you're balancing increasing responsibilities at work with personal goals, family, and self-care. Prioritizing balance allows you to sustain high performance, reduce burnout, and create space for growth in both your professional and personal life. By managing time effectively and setting clear boundaries, you can foster resilience, enhance productivity, and make intentional choices that align with your values, leading to a more fulfilling and sustainable career journey.
