02 — The Liberation Programme
An accessible, structured, five-week coaching programme for women who are ready to show up more authentically. Accessible sliding fee scale and sponsorship opportunities.

03 — Speaking
Talks and facilitated sessions for events and conferences - on leadership, liberation and what it means to define success on your own terms. Available in person and virtually, internationally. Enquire about availability and fees.

THE LIBERATION PROGRAMME

A n accessible, structured, five-week coaching programme for women who are ready to show up more authentically.

The system is broken. You're exhausted. And you're still here - still showing up, still trying to act with integrity in the middle of it.You don't need someone to tell you to breathe through it. You need space to think clearly, get grounded, and figure out how you want to move forward.The Liberation Programme is a structured five-week private coaching experience for women anywhere, who are ready to show up more authentically.

We move through five core territories together, one each week:

  • Feel - Making space for the rage and the exhaustion, without being flattened by either

  • See - Getting clear on what you actually value and believe

  • Root - Connecting to what steadies you, wherever you are

  • Connect - Building solidarity without losing yourself in it

  • Act - Identifying the moves that are yours to make, and making them

WHAT IT COSTS

I run this programme on a sliding fee scale to make it more financially accessible than my usual coaching work.On our intro call, we'll discuss openly and honestly what fee point is right for you.Anyone can sponsor a spot for a woman who couldn't normally access this kind of support - reach out here.

ABOUT ME

Coaching that takes the whole woman seriously

I'm Lucy Russell - double-certified (ICF and EMCC) executive and leadership coach and facilitator.I primarily work with women navigating complexity at senior level, and with female entrepreneurs building something they can genuinely stand behind.My work draws on leadership psychology, emotional intelligence and somatic awareness.Sometimes the most important information isn't in what my client thinks or says, but in what her body is already signalling. I pay attention to both.This sits alongside a deep-rooted belief that the systems many of us are operating in were not designed for us to thrive in.And that is not a reason to shrink. That is the starting point for a different kind of leadership. An authentic leadership that speaks to who you are and what you want.

HOW I WORK

Reflective, rigorous and commercially real

At senior level, leadership challenges are rarely about capability. They are about clarity, authority and judgement - and often, about what is being carried beneath the surface that hasn't yet been named. My role is to work with all of it, so that the shifts made in a coaching session actually hold when you're back in the room.

01 — Emotional intelligence, applied practically
Not as a concept - but as a lived tool for decision-making, presence and stakeholder dynamics. Understanding what is driving behaviour, including your own, is one of the most commercially useful skills a senior leader can develop.

02 — Leadership identity and authority
Who you are as a leader - not who you have been told to be. Strengthening your presence, your decision-making voice, and your ability to hold authority without over-responsibility.

03 — Body awareness as useful information
Alongside cognitive and emotional intelligence, I draw on somatic awareness where it serves my client. The tightness before a difficult conversation, the chronic over-functioning - these are worth paying attention to, not overriding.

04 — Values-led decisions under pressure
Clarity about what you actually stand for - enacted under real pressure, not written on a wall. This is what creates leadership that is sustainable, credible and genuinely yours.

ON CONNECTION & RESPONSIBILITY

"The river that flows in you also flows in me." — Kabir

I am a white western woman living and working in relative safety and privilege.I say that not as a disclaimer - but because naming where I stand is part of the work I ask everyone around me to do. Including myself.Like many of you, I feel enraged by the state of the world. The kind of rage that comes from witnessing systems cause harm on a scale that often feels impossible to meet.What I have come to believe is that we are not separate. We are all connected - and our liberation is collective. Mine is deeply bound to yours, and to the liberation of other women we will never meet, whose lives are also impacted by broken systems.Rage, metabolised and directed, is one of the most powerful forces for change there is.A portion of my revenue is donated to PCRF and Equality Now.
