The Leaders Lounge
Lead with confidence, make an impact, and stop the second guessing.
Gain the tools, support, and real time strategies to manage people, navigate challenges, and build a team that respects you without the overwhelm.
Leadership can be a lonely, messy job. But it doesn’t have to be.
You’ve been thrown into leadership with high expectations but little support.
One day you’re a team member, and the next, you’re expected to handle tough conversations, make decisions, coach your team, and somehow not burn out in the process.
Sound familiar? You’re not alone.
That’s exactly why The Leaders Lounge exists
It’s a one stop coaching and community membership built for new and emerging managers who want real support, practical tools, and a space to become leaders people actually want to follow.
What happens in The Leaders Lounge?
Inside you'll get:
Live group coaching sessions - so you’re not just reading about leadership, you’re actively improving it.
A real, trusted community - where you can talk through challenges, get support, and know that you’re not alone.
Monthly learning themes & Q&As - so you’re always growing in the right areas without information overload.
Practical strategies, not fluff - because you don’t have time for leadership theories that don’t actually help in the real world.
You don’t have to figure this out alone.
This is where new and emerging managers come to build confidence, tackle challenges, and actually enjoy leadership.
Are you ready to grow?
Leadership can feel isolating, but you don’t have to do it alone.
If you’re a new or emerging manager, you’ve probably felt this:
You feel like you should have it all figured out, but every day brings new challenges you weren’t trained for. Decision fatigue? Constant.
You want to grow, but leadership training is either too expensive, too vague, or just plain irrelevant to what you’re actually dealing with.
You’re supporting your team’s growth, but when’s the last time you invested in your own? (Spoiler: You deserve it just as much as they do.)
You miss having a space to talk through real challenges - not just generic leadership theories, but the actual day-to-day messiness of managing people.
And what happens when you don’t have that support?
🚩 You get stuck in the same patterns. Overwhelmed, second-guessing yourself, and constantly firefighting instead of leading with intention.
🚩 Leadership starts feeling like a lonely climb. Even when things are fine, there’s no one to check in with who truly gets what you’re dealing with.
🚩 Self-doubt sneaks in. And before you know it, you're playing it small instead of stepping up as the leader you know you can be.
That’s why The Leaders Lounge exists.
This space is built for new and emerging managers like you - so you can get the coaching, support, and real time feedback you need to lead with confidence.
Whether you’re managing a team, running a business, or stepping into leadership for the first time - this is your place to grow.
As part of The Leaders Lounge, you'll get:
Learning that actually fits into your life
Every month, we focus on one key leadership topic - the things that actually matter in your day to day.
Whether it’s a recorded masterclass, private podcast episode, or in-depth article, you’ll get bite sized, actionable insights that help you lead better immediately.
Bonus? Members get to vote on the topics - so we’re always tackling what’s most relevant to you right now.
Live Coaching (The real magic happens here)
Each month, we jump on a live coaching call to dive deeper into our topic, break down real world challenges, and get practical solutions that actually stick.
This isn’t a “sit back and listen” kind of call - this is where you get peer coaching, real time advice, and the kind of insights you can’t Google.
Ask Me Anything (No waiting for “office hours”)
Got a tricky situation at work? Unsure how to handle a tough convo?
Pop your question into our ongoing Q&A thread, and get feedback from me and the community - on demand.
No need to wait until the next call.
Quarterly Challenges (Because growth shouldn’t be boring)
Leadership development shouldn’t just be about theory - it should be felt. That’s why every quarter, we run a 5-10 day challenge designed to push you out of autopilot, build new habits, and shake things up.
These challenges keep you motivated, engaged, and consistently growing.
A Private Community (Goodbye, LinkedIn lurkers & Facebook noise)
A secure, no social media platform where you can be honest, share wins, ask questions, and get support from leaders who get it.
Think of it as your go to space for leadership convos that actually matter.
An Ever Growing Resource Library
Need a template for giving feedback? A guide to running better team meetings? A podcast episode on coaching your team? It’s all inside the Resource Library.
Everything we add stays available, so you can access what you need, when you need it.
The Leaders Lounge isn’t just another leadership program.
It’s a space where learning, connection, and growth happen in real time, without the information overload and trying to figure it out alone.
Because when leaders come together, amazing things happen.
What joining The Leaders Lounge will do for you
When you join The Leaders Lounge, you’re not just signing up for a community - you’re equipping yourself to lead with clarity, confidence, and integrity.
You will...
Stand firm in your values – You’ll choose what’s right over what’s easy (even when it’s hard).
Own your space and speak up – No more questioning your worth. You know what you bring to the table.
Make an impact that actually matters – Your team trusts you, respects you, and wants to follow your lead.
Handle the hard things with confidence – Difficult conversations? Big decisions? You’ve got this.
Lead with influence, not force – You don’t have to change who you are to create real progress.
Build a career you actually enjoy – Leadership doesn’t have to feel like a constant uphill battle. It can be fulfilling, exciting, and sustainable.
Here’s the truth: Leadership was never meant to be a solo sport.
Sure, you’ve got colleagues. A Slack channel. Maybe even an industry group.
But do you have a real space where you can show up honestly, ask hard questions, and be challenged to grow - without worrying about how it looks?
That’s why I created The Leaders Lounge.
This isn’t just another leadership group where people share articles they didn’t read.
It’s a coaching first community where you’ll actually learn, strategise, and get real support as you navigate leadership in real time.
What makes this different?
You’re not just learning - you’re getting coached
Coaching is what makes this community powerful. You’re not just consuming content; you’re actively working through challenges, applying tools, and getting feedback in real time.
You don’t have to filter yourself
This is a trusted, social media free space where you can candidly share struggles, bounce ideas, and actually be supported. No hierarchy, no judgment - just people who get it.
You’re not figuring it out alone
It’s not just me sharing insights - it’s a group of leaders tackling challenges together. You’ll learn from each other, share perspectives, and get the kind of support that traditional workplaces don’t offer.
This is what leadership should feel like.
Collaborative, not isolating.
Empowering, not exhausting.
Practical, not theoretical.
If you’re ready for that kind of leadership growth... join us in the lounge.
The truth is, I needed this space too...
So many leaders have told me how lonely, overwhelming, and what the hell am I even doing this whole leadership thing can feel. And honestly? Same.
Running a business, leading a team (even a team of two), working from home, and wrangling a toddler who believes sleep is a conspiracy - it’s a lot.
And while I love what I do, I’ve felt the same pull you have:
- Where do I go when I need to talk things through?
- Who do I turn to when I feel like I’m winging it?
- Where’s the space for leaders to just be real - no corporate
masks, no “I have it all together” BS?
I wasn’t finding it, so I built it.
The Leaders Lounge isn’t just another leadership program.
It’s not a networking group where people pretend they’re crushing it while secretly panicking.
It’s not another static course that sits in your inbox collecting digital dust.
It’s a living, breathing community where leaders learn, support, and grow together.
Because leadership isn’t a solo quest...
Harry didn’t even do it alone - right?!
And I’m not here just to coach you - I’m here to be in the trenches with you. To learn, to grow, to figure sh*t out alongside you.
Because that’s what real leadership is: growing while leading.
If you’re ready for a place where you can show up fully, be challenged, be supported, and become the leader you actually want to be - then The Leaders Lounge is your space.
Pull up a seat and jump on in.
The Leaders Lounge isn’t for everyone - and that’s by design.
This isn’t just another leadership group where people sit back, lurk, and hope they magically become better managers by osmosis.
This space is for new and emerging leaders who want real, practical coaching and support - because let’s be honest, figuring out leadership on your own is exhausting.
You will get the most out of The Leaders Lounge if you are:
A New or Emerging Leader
(or managing a business & people)
Maybe you’re new to management, stepping into leadership, or running your own business and managing people for the first time - but one thing’s for sure: you want to lead well.
You're ready to learn the skills and strategies that actually work (instead of just hoping you’ll figure it out as you go).
Growth Oriented
(Even if you doubt yourself sometimes)
You don’t need to have it all figured out, but you do need to be willing to learn.
You want to build confidence in your leadership decisions, handle difficult conversations better, and actually feel like you know what you’re doing (because let’s be real, leadership can feel like a guessing game).
Looking for Practical Support
(not just more leadership theory)
You’re overwhelmed by the day to day reality of leading and need real support, coaching, and tools you can actually use.
You don’t need another book or corporate webinar - you need a real space where you can ask questions, get coached, and work through challenges in real time.
Ready for Connection
(because leadership can be lonely AF)
You don’t want to feel like you’re the only one struggling with leadership challenges.
You want a trusted community where you can be real, share what’s actually hard, and get advice from people who GET IT.
The more we connect, the more we grow.
The Leaders Lounge is NOT for you if…
You want a passive learning experience. This isn’t a course - it’s an interactive coaching and growth space. You’ll get the most out of it when you show up, ask questions, and engage.
You’re looking for corporate-y, one size fits all leadership advice. If you just want to tick a “leadership training” box, this isn’t the space for you.
You aren’t interested in doing people management well. This space is focused on building leadership skills and confidence that makes people want to follow, you need to be interested and set on doing the same.
If you’re nodding along, thinking, “Holy heck, this is exactly what I need” - then welcome.
The Leaders Lounge is your space. Your support system. Your place to figure things out alongside other leaders who actually get it.
Jump in now.
Your leadership (and sanity) will thank you.
If you're a company manager, leader (or up & comer), this is how your organisation will benefit:
Increased engagement in the vision, strategy and purpose of the company through a supported development pathway in your Leadership journey.
Stronger foundation of trust, safety, and respect within teams led by committed and resilient leaders who are emotionally intelligent and know how to regulate their emotions.
Increased team satisfaction, connection, and collaboration from working with a Leader who has the skills to coach, have courageous conversations, and give effective feedback.
Higher productivity and efficiency in delivering work due to proper success planning, clear priorities, and solid confidence in their skills and capabilities.
Decreased leave and absenteeism by effectively supporting Leaders in how they manage themselves, their workloads, and their teams. Especially through challenging times.
Increased innovation, collaboration, and learning due to a forward focused Leadership mindset and strong coaching skills, and the courage to give empowering feedback.
No matter the context in which you lead, every single person around you will benefit from what you learn. This is for business owners, managers, coaches, teachers!
What people say about working with Tash
“I cannot recommend coaching with Tash enough!
You have to be open to the issues that you have been struggling with and once you work with Tash to identify the crux of things, it’s so rewarding to see them change.
I would never imagined that I would be where I am now, positive, confident in who I am, living a life of intention, thriving in a career I absolutely love and working with such great and understanding people.
Tash created a space for me to truly be myself which has allowed me to be the best version of myself!”
Ashlee
Head of HR
"Tash has a way of making the vulnerable easy to talk through and work through to get clarity and conviction.
Working with Tash levelled me up in a number of ways in both my personal and professional life.
If world class athletes have coaches, then I reckon if you want to be a world class leader or live a world class life, then you probably should too.
And Tash is a world class coach."

Want to become a V.I.P Leader?
If you’re ready to develop your leadership skills, build influence, and create success with integrity...
V.I.P Leaders is exactly right for you.
You will get everything you need and nothing you don't. No BS or fluff over here.
The Leaders Lounge difference with Tash Pieterse...
I’m an Internationally Certified People Leadership Coach with over 13 years in corporate HR, a Bachelor’s in Business Management (HR & Strategic Management), a Diploma in Positive Psychology, and certifications in Dare to Lead and Riders & Elephants Leadership. Yeah, I’ve got the receipts.
But what really matters?
I’ve spent my entire career inside the leadership trenches, navigating the messy, challenging, and deeply human side of leading people.
I know exactly what it feels like to be a new manager, overwhelmed and questioning whether you’re cut out for this. I’ve lived the self-doubt, the exhausting decision fatigue, the moments where you think, Am I even doing this right?!
And after coaching hundreds of leaders and seeing the gaps in traditional leadership development, I built something different.
A space for leaders who don’t want to figure it out alone.
The Leaders Lounge isn’t a passive learning hub or another generic leadership course. It’s a real time coaching and growth community for new and emerging leaders.
A place where you can be honest about the hard stuff, build confidence, and get real support from people who actually get it.
I would 1000% recommend Tash to anyone who wants to feel genuinely supported
"I approached Tash for support and coaching after realising just how overwhelmed and stuck I felt. It surfaced in all parts of my life and no matter how much effort I was putting in, I was struggling to feel good about what I was doing and how I was showing up.
Working with Tash has been a life-giving gift. Not only did she provide practical things I could implement in my busy life, but she created a space where I could challenge a lot of my thinking and beliefs, supported me as I worked to shift them, while feeling safe and empowered to do so.
It never felt rigid or forced - the way she could be her genuine self and somehow layer that with technical expertise made it such an empowering, impactful, yet fun experience.
Her coaching and support has helped me to build a daily mindset that is more gracious, kind, curious, and believing. And because of that, I find myself approaching situations, especially hard things, with a more grounded confidence that is resilient and brave.
I would 1000% recommend Tash to anyone who wants to feel genuinely supported in making some challenging mindset shifts and building deeper self-confidence!"
