Is this you?
- You're a risk professional in financial services and you're swamped with important regulatory and project work - that the rest of the organisation doesn't seem to value
- You spend too long firefighting and not enough time developing your large team
- You never have enough time to manage the risk projects AND build the culture you need in the team
- Some of your direct reports are struggling to lead their teams, and you don't have the time to dedicate to developing them into the leaders you know they can be.
- You've moved from managing a team to leading a strategic unit, and it's a step up in complexity and volume
- You want to lead authentically, and not have to pretend to be someone you're not
- You feel like you have to fit it all in around family life, and are spending way too many evenings and weekends trying to keep the plates spinning.
About Helen Wright
Leadership, without the bullshit
I work with risk professionals in Banking to help them stop firefighting and avoid burnout, so they can lead authentically without sacrificing their weekends to slide decks.
I’m not your average leadership consultant. I’ve led risk teams through the best and worst of times, from post-crash chaos to everyday corporate politics. I've done it with empathy, integrity, a bit of swearing and a lot of humour.
Now I give people the leadership manual — the stuff nobody hands you when you're promoted. I give people what they should have had on day one. No theory, just tools, space, and mindset shifts and a whole load of building teams that want to work for you.
I'm here to cut through the fluff, teach the human side of leadership, and help you build the kind of team culture that makes people feel safe, stretched, and actually enjoy work.
