About Impact Coaching International founded by Jess Wiggins ICF-Accredited Leadership Coach, UK.
Our Leadership Coaching Philosophy.
In a world that demands more from leaders than ever before, we’re not here to create more of the same. We help you become exceptional, the kind of leader who doesn’t just manage performance, but ignites potential and creates meaningful impact.
Leadership is not a position, it’s a practice. It’s about the daily, deliberate choice to lead with focus, humility, authenticity, and courage. It’s about building trust before chasing performance, and culture before control. It’s about doing the hard, human work of growth, first in yourself, then in others.
Exceptional leaders move with confidence and purpose, while bringing people with them. They create teams that are not just high performing, but deeply engaged, fulfilled, and proud to contribute.
But to lead this way, we need to rethink leadership altogether.
The Next Evolution of Leadership Is Human.
90% of HR leaders believe that to succeed in today’s work environment, leaders must focus on the human aspects of leadership (Gartner Inc Survey 2022, Gartner HR Research Identifies Human Leadership as the Next Evolution of Leadership)
Leadership today isn’t about titles, toughness, or control. It’s about being real. It’s about leading with empathy, integrity, and authentic connection.
This is Human Leadership and it’s the foundation of everything we teach.
When leaders lead like humans, people thrive.
Performance improves.
Culture transforms.
Talent stays.
Clients want to work with you.
And the entire business becomes magnetic, from the inside out.
Leading the human way is how you become exceptional and make an impact that matters.
The Human Leadership Helix Model.
Our high performance business and leadership coaching is grounded in our unique Human Leadership Helix Model, a leadership philosophy that puts people at the heart of performance.
Just like DNA, exceptional leadership is built from two intertwining forces; self leadership & leadership of others.
Together, these form the genetic code of powerful leadership, one that evolves leaders from the inside out, creating ripple effects of impact across teams, culture, and business performance.
Integrity.
Self leadership. The self-alignment to lead with purpose, authenticity, and confidence.
Interdependence.
Leadership of others. The relational awareness to empower, collaborate, and lead through others.
Because People Are the DNA of Your Organisation.
When you activate your people, everything changes.
We help you embed the right leadership DNA so your culture thrives, your people excel, and your business performs with purpose.
Let’s lead differently.
Let’s lead human.
Our Business Values.
Impact | Integrity | Human | Excellence | Growth
Our values shape everything we do. They guide how we coach, how we lead, and how we help others lead with purpose and impact.
-
We believe leadership is a force for good. Our coaching helps create exceptional leaders, stronger teams and a better world. One where people feel valued, respected, and empowered to make a difference.
-
We lead by example. Integrity is at the heart of everything we do, showing up with honesty, consistency, and authenticity. Doing what’s right even when it’s hard. In our coaching, this means being open, creating safe spaces for real growth, and supporting leaders to align their actions with their values so they can lead with purpose and courage.
-
We believe exceptional leadership is about putting people first. Leading with empathy, authenticity, and respect creates trust and engages teams. Our high performance business and leadership coaching focuses on the human side of leadership, helping leaders bring their full selves to the role, realise their potential and build businesses where people feel valued and empowered to contribute.
-
We hold ourselves to the highest standards, the same standards we expect of the leaders we coach. Everything we deliver is thoughtful, evidence based, and designed for real world impact.
-
We believe ongoing development is the key to exceptional leadership. By embracing learning, reflection, and adaptability, we help leaders develop their leadership capabilities, overcome challenges, and unlock new levels of impact, transforming potential into progress.
Why People-First Leadership Delivers Results
Impact Coaching International was founded with the mission to make exceptional human centered leadership the industry standard so other people don’t have to experience the things I did.
The driving force behind this mission is a bigger vision for business to be used as a force for good in the world and I see putting people first as the way to achieve this.
“I believe that people are the heart of every business and if we teach our leaders how to lead their people in a way that inspires, engages and motivates them (the human way), the business will take care of itself.”
