Are you wearing a 'Pretender Mask'?
Pretender masks are developed through conditioning in childhood and young adulthood, where you learned that positive outcomes happened for you when you behaved in a certain way.
In adulthood, the wearing of the mask can become exhausting, and creates a complete disconnect to the person you are underneath it all, which is 'The Pretender Model' at play. The Pretender Model was created by Angela Cox, founder of Paseda360, and consists of four different masks most commonly used by those who experience the disconnect between their true selves, and the person that shows up to others in their life.
You know there's more to you than the way you portray yourself to others. Perhaps you don't know exactly what it is. Its often something you can't quite understand or put your finger on.
Do you ever wish:
🐆 You knew who you really are beneath all the conditioning and expectations?
🐆 You had the courage to be authentically you, without fear of judgement?
🐆 You could learn a lot about yourself and develop a deep self awareness?
🐆 You could identify and break free from past patterns that keep you stuck?
🐆 You could address that critical inner voice that puts you in your place?
🐆 You may have felt the feelings of deep curiosity about yourself but not known where to start. Sometimes it shows up in you feeling something could be missing, or a knowing that you need 'something' but you just don't know what that 'something' is.
Whether you're an executive or senior leader running on empty while chasing impossible standards, a business owner, constantly questioning your worth, a talented professional who can't seem to smash through that next level, or if you're simply considering your next move, together we'll get to the heart of what's stopping you and unlock the transformation that actually sticks.
The first step to finding this out is closer than you think.
Stop Being Stuck is your chance to peel back the layers, understand your patterns, and start the journey of deep self discovery.

"I never expected to overcome my fear of driving but that's exactly what happened when I worked through Stop Being Stuck. I didn't mention to Leanne the feelings and fear that I have whenever I have to go somewhere on the motorway. To me, it wasn't relevant but during the first session I realised I was limiting my opportunities because of a past situation. This programme helped me see how it connects to everything else I struggle with. I enjoyed the havening, it was unbelievable that I drove home on the motorway straight afterwards"

"Leanne helped me to acknowledge a 'worst self behaviour' when reacting to a particular family member. This had come from wearing a Pretender Mask called the Persecutor of Others. I didn't know what that meant until I went through the Stop Being Stuck process. I have re-evaluated the relationship with myself and others. The havening touch technique was incredible and I cried during the whole of the Limitless Light Therapy. In such a short time this has already changed me as a person, and I have noticed that as I'm responding differently, so are other people."
A little bit about me:
I’m the founder of Blue Leopard Coaching and my job is to help you get out of your own way, take bold action and start creating the success you know you’re capable of.
Whether it’s in your career, your confidence, or the way you show up to the world (and yourself!), I’m here to help you go after everything you want, unapologetically.
I know what it’s like to feel stuck. To doubt yourself. To constantly hold back, and watch success come easily to everyone else, while you stay in the same place. But I also know what happens when you decide to back yourself.
Once I stopped waiting for permission and started taking action, everything changed. I went from feeling like an imposter, to leading large and high-performing teams right across the UK in the corporate world, gaining promotions and building the kind of career and life I never thought possible. That confidence and ability to step up and own your success isn’t something I was born with. Certainly not. It is something I built.
I want to help you build it too.
I’ve studied, invested and worked with some of the best in the industry, learning what it really takes to develop a success mindset, overcome self-doubt and turn ambition into results.
I know what it takes to break through the fear, take action and actually see progress. If you’re ready to stop playing small and start making moves of your own, I’m ready to support you as you make that happen. 🙇🏼♀️

By choosing Stop Being Stuck, you can expect:
🐆 Pre-programme homework - thoughtful preparation work sent by me and completed by you in advance to help you get the most from your Stop Being Stuck programme.
🐆 Session 1: Exploration Session (90 minutes) - we'll dive deep into your patterns, triggers, and we'll cover the Pretender Masks, including the masks you may wear. This is where the magic begins.
🐆 Session 2: Event Havening (approx. 60 minutes) - using neuroscience backed techniques to disarm emotional charges from past events that are still impacting you today. We'll work with your brain chemistry, the havening technique, distraction and sensory reprogramming techniques. I'll fully talk you through how this works, whilst I guide you through the session. This works at the clients pace, so whilst we say 60 minutes as a guide, it can be less than, or more than this, so it's advisory to give yourself enough time.
🐆 Session 3: Limitless Light Therapy© (approx. 60 minutes) - reconnect with your inner child and shift perspectives to support your past, present, and future self, through a therapy technique. Again, this works at the clients pace, so whilst we say 60 minutes as a guide, it can be less than, or more than this, so it's advisory to give yourself enough time.
🐆 Programme homework - integration work to help solidify your insights and transformation.
🐆 Session 4: Follow-up Session (30 minutes) - reflect on your journey and celebrate your insights.
Delivery Options:
Online: A 4 week programme with sessions spaced a week apart.
In Person: Stop Being Stuck is delivered in person as a half day intensive at the Blue Leopard Coaching Liverpool practice, with the 30 minute follow-up session delivered online a week later.

"I've always been a chronic people pleaser in most areas. I know how much of myself I've sacrificed and I decided to do Stop Being Stuck as I didn't want it to continue. My job of six years has left me totally burned out yet I hadn't done anything about it for fear of letting my manager and team down. I was able to pinpoint the exact moment in my childhood that the people pleasing started, with Leanne's help. I was only 4 years old. It has been emotional and truly transformational. I will be putting myself first from now on and I've applied for two exciting new roles already since this. Thank you Leanne for showing me what is possible!"
Here are some FAQs below:

What If I Don't Know What I Want To Work On?
Perfect! That's exactly what the exploration session is for. Many clients discover things about themselves they never expected - like NG, who overcame her fear of driving, or SO, who pinpointed the exact moment her people-pleasing programming began.

What Results Can I Expect?

How Is This Different From Your Other Programmes?
Stop Being Stuck is the foundation - it's about understanding yourself deeply before taking action. My 12-week and 6-month programmes build on this foundation to help you step into action and thrive mode. This programme is pure self discovery.

You can do! Stop Being Stuck is the perfect stepping stone to Life Ignited or Life Unlocked, where we build on your self awareness and move into action taking and transformation through co-creation of your life strategy.

Understanding your mask is the first step to authentic living.
