V.I.P Leaders
Become the Leader people actually want to follow.
A Leader focused on adding Value, making an Impact, and empowering People
Look, I know you...
→ Often feel overwhelmed by everything going on all of the time, making it hard to find the time or energy be the leader you want to be.
→ Pride yourself on being great at what you do, but struggle with the unpredictable hard stuff like having hard conversations and giving feedback, what will people do?!
→ Want to help the people around you, but you end up doing it all, carrying too much, and not helping people take ownership for their own stuff.
→ Want to create spaces where people feel connected and supported, but sometimes struggle with addressing issues head on and building trusted influence to create change.
→ Sometimes find navigating a lot of emotions between people challenging, which holds you back from effectively influencing others and making a real impact.
And what does all of this cause?
→ Missing out on being a great leader. Yup, self-doubt is a sneaky thing. It’s that voice in your head that keeps you small and keeps you from being the leader you want to be. This isn’t how it’s meant to be.
→ Feeling like you’re on autopilot. If you’re thinking “what’s the point?!” more often than not, that’s disconnection creeping in. This isn’t just about feeling blah—it’s about losing touch with your drive and purpose.
→ Riding the road to burnout. Here’s the deal, overworking doesn’t equal overachieving. It only leads to one place, burnout city. If you’re always running your battery low, hoping to get it all done, chances are you’re drowning instead of surfing.
→ Limiting your impact. When you’re not tackling the tough stuff, like giving clear feedback or setting boundaries, you’re not just holding yourself back. You’re also blocking the potential of your team. And honestly, that sucks for everyone.
→ Trust is tanking. If your team can't see you handling the hard conversations or making the tough calls, how can they lean on you? Trust is what keeps your team connected and engaged, and without it, things aren’t going anywhere good.
→ Stuck in the neutral. Without developing your leadership skills, think emotional intelligence, giving feedback, and nailing those tough conversations - you’re coasting. Leadership is about growth, both yours and your team’s.
Not only does all of this block your potential in your work, it stops you from being your best in life. How you lead yourself, is how you lead your life and your people.
This is where V.I.P Leaders come in!
V.I.P Leaders is designed for you if you lead people. Whether you’re a business owner, manager, teacher/principal, or sports coach.
If you lead, this is for you.
If you're emerging as a Leader, then jump in too.
You’ll learn and build the mindset, emotional, and coaching skills necessary to excel in leadership positions.
You’ll not only build the confidence and effectiveness needed for today’s leadership challenges but also the practical tools to build connection, drive change, and create lasting impact and success. Doesn't that sound great?!
For most of my career, I found myself burning out, tired, overworking and lacking self-confidence…
And I was not alone (which is sad, isn't it).
I had all of the technical skills, capability, and work ethic, but it was the lack of leadership and mindset skills that held me back from being the Leader I always wanted to be and truthfully, really needed. (usually the case)
When I finally got my first people management role after 9 years (honestly, it should have only taken 5-7).
I had all of the technical expertise, but not enough confidence and courage in the actual Leadership stuff.
Knowing what I know now - I had the right foundation, I had the initiative, and the drive.
What I needed then was the coaching and guidance to build my confidence in the value I bring, strengthen my leadership skills (the soft/human skills), and get the support to step up, influence, and lead with courage.
That’s why I created V.I.P Leaders and why you're here reading it! Right?!
V.I.P Leaders is specifically designed for you, if you lead people and you want to do it so much better!
If you're emerging as a Leader, this you're in the best place too!
V.I.P Leaders is not just another leadership course - it’s actually an intentionally built programme that bridges the crucial gap between bad management and effective leadership. Yup, I said it.
Everything you learn here will make your everyday life so much better too.
You’ll be having courageous conversations with your partner or kids, building trust and influence to get things moving forward at home, and you’ll have more emotional intelligence that helps you read people and better respond to what’s going on - all of this = less relationship strains, good right?!
You will get the most out of this programme if you are:
Ready for Leadership
You’re established in your career or business and you have people looking to you for guidance. No matter the industry, position, context, or situation - if you want to be a better leader, this is for you.
Growth Oriented
You’re committed to building your leadership skills and closing critical gaps. You understand that growth involves challenging your limits and you’re ready for self-reflection and becoming better.
Change Driven
You aren’t here for the status quo. You want to lead people effectively and you are here to create it in a positive way, while making decisions that creates progress and results.
Ambitious
You’re here to build your skillset and capability and make a big difference. You want to step up, lead courageously, and create a lasting impact on the people around you.
This is not for you if you are:
✗ You want quick changes and development without putting in the time or effort to learn and apply the tools and skills
✗ You aren’t willing to do the self-reflection work to uncover mindset blocks or challenges that need to be worked through to scale to the next level of success
✗ You want to rest on your technical or skills-based expertise and ride that out for the rest of your career without learning the human (soft) skills that will benefit you
✗ You don’t want to leave a legacy of value and impact on the people you lead and connect with. If you’re not here to create something bigger than yourself, this isn’t for you.
After the programme, you'll walk away with:
Strong Leadership Identity and Mindset
You will know who you are, what you stand for, and most importantly how to be the leader you want to be. You will know your values, strengths, how your mind works, and how to create an environment where not only you thrive, your people as well. When you know this, everything gets simpler.

What people say about working with Tash:
“Coaching with Tash has been invaluable for my personal and professional life. I started with Tash as a very fresh leader and lacked confidence in leading my team, which led to a lack of clarity across the board. Tash helped me work through some blockages around what was and wasn't in my control, which helped me determine what I would then pass on to my team.
Emma, Operations Lead
"I connected with Tash when I was struggling with the juggle of life. I have 2 young kids and was trying to grow my career after taking maternity leave and was have difficulty finding the right balance. I was feeling overworked, overwhelmed and like I was failing.
Tash was fantastic, she listened and heard my frustrations and provided tools for me to take ownership and control of my situation.
12 months on I comfortably prioritise what is important to me, am confident in my own abilities, courageously speak up when I feel the need and show up every day as my best self! Thanks Tash!!"
Cols, HR Manager
The V.I.P Leaders’ Difference with Tash Pieterse
Hi, I’m Tash Pieterse. An Internationally Certified People Leadership Coach with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Management majoring in Human Resources and Strategic Management, Dare to Lead Trained, and have a Diploma in Positive Psychology. I've got the papers ;)
In addition to University - I have a 13+ year corporate career in Human Resources that spanned across public, private and membership organisations. I have also built a thriving coaching practice since 2019.
Not only from my own overwhelming, exhausting, and self-doubt filled experience navigating my career up to People & Performance Manager - I have been coaching professionals and seeing the gaps in the essential skills senior and emerging leaders are lacking, which needs to change.
I have taken everything from my career and what I’ve learned coaching my private clients and pulled it together into this practical, transformational and results driven coaching programme.
I also bring the realities of a full life being a wife, mother to a toddler son, and practicing my own leadership mindset and boundaries to my coaching work which helps me see each person for where they are and empower them from there.
I believe every single person has everything they need to BE the leader they really want to be - it’s my mission and job to help them uncover it and step fully into it.
"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!"
