Monday 29th June marked an exciting milestone for award-finalist Career Transformation Coach and Founder of The Career Owl, Kathryn Hall, with the publication of her new book, From Ready to Leader – The Leadership Leap: How to find, win and thrive in your first or next Leadership Transition.
Written for aspiring, new and existing leaders, the book provides practical guidance for professionals preparing to take their first leadership role or successfully navigate their next leadership transition. Drawing on Kathryn’s years of experience coaching professionals across the UK and Europe, the book combines real-world insights, practical exercises and proven leadership strategies to help readers build confidence, strengthen their leadership presence and thrive in their careers.
Many talented professionals reach a point in their careers where technical expertise is no longer enough. Stepping into leadership requires a different mindset, stronger communication, greater emotional intelligence and the confidence to lead others with authenticity. From Ready to Leader bridges that gap, helping readers move from simply being good at their job to becoming the leader others want to follow.
Kathryn Hall said: “Publishing this book is an incredibly proud moment for me. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of helping people transform not only their careers but also their confidence and belief in what they’re capable of achieving. Knowing that this book can now reach and support even more people as they prepare for their first or next leadership role is incredibly rewarding. I truly believe leadership isn’t about having all the answers or waiting for permission. It’s about showing up with purpose, building trust and helping others succeed. My hope is that this book gives readers both the practical tools and the confidence to make that leadership leap.”
