Urban Legends Coaching
Challenging the stories we tell about leadership.
Skills and leadership development coaching for professionals navigating complexity, influence, uncertainty and modern work.
Why Urban Legends Coaching?
Urban Legends Coaching explores the stories we inherit about leadership — and helps you write your own.
Urban environments are layered, fast-moving, diverse, and constantly evolving. Decisions are rarely clear-cut, influence matters as much as authority, and leaders are expected to navigate pressure, ambiguity, and competing perspectives.
Urban Legends Coaching takes its name from this reality.
The "urban" reflects modern professional life: dynamic, demanding, and interconnected.
The "legends" are not myths or heroic personas. They are the everyday leaders who quietly build trust, make thoughtful decisions, and create meaningful impact through how they show up.
This coaching is for people who:
Want to lead well, not loudly
Value substance over performance
Are navigating real-world complexity, not idealised leadership models
At Urban Legends Coaching, leadership development is practical, reflective, and human. We focus on skills that work in context — helping you develop clarity, confidence, and capability in the environments you actually lead in.
Testimonials
Nadja began coaching me just as I was about to retire. I was overwhelmed with conflicting advice from friends and colleagues who all wanted the best for me. Nadja gave me the space to pause; appreciate the scale of this change and listen to my own thoughts and ideas.. I would highly recommend Nadja as a coach. She is an expert listener and will help you to identify what really matters to you. She will challenge your preconceptions and help you appreciate yourself a little bit more. If you're in a rut, facing a big change, or just want some time to reflect, Nadja is the perfect person to have by your side. I was very lucky to find her.
I had a brilliant experience with Nadja's coaching. Her sessions were full of compassion, emotional intelligence and sensitivity towards personal, cultural, and professional differences. I felt safe and free to express myself, sharing my thoughts, experiences and struggles. while creating a cheerful and warm space for speaking up, Her approach of combining compassion and humour with challenging questions opened up a window through which I could have a glimpse of what shapes my struggles and challenges.
Working with Nadja made a genuine impact and I felt more confident about my decisions ... Nadja asked good, and often challenging questions which helped me clarify things, and brought a sense of humour that made the process feel a lot less overwhelming. I hugely appreciated her approach and thoughtful guidance.
