Leading Cyber - Driven by a passion for change
Our combined 25+ years in cybersecurity and leadership have opened our eyes to critical challenges within the industry, especially the human aspect. We see a pressing need for:
- Meaningful connections: Building a network for career development and peer support.
- Strong leadership: Equipping leaders to navigate complexities and propel growth.
- Improved well-being: Fostering innovative cultures that value both results and people.
We're not alone. Data confirms these needs:
- 82% of new managers lack leadership training (CMI Report, Oct 2023).
- Ineffective leadership is a top reason for industry departures (CIISec Survey, Nov 2023).
- Managers lack training for remote teams (Gallup Report, Jan 2024).
- 25% of cyber leaders will leave due to stress (Gartner Report, Feb 2023).
While we can't solve everything, we can leverage our expertise. Leading Cyber offers:
- Leadership development: Equip yourself and your teams with fundamental skills.
- Mentorship platform: Connect with experienced mentors for personalised guidance.
- Senior leader gatherings: Share challenges, exchange insights, and benefit from collective wisdom.
- Executive Coaching: Work with experienced coaches to help fine-tune your leadership and reach your goals.
- Insightful content: Online resources that will help you tackle the most common hurdles we've seen working with leadership teams
We're here to connect, support, educate, and empower the cybersecurity community. Let's create positive change together.
