Leadership coaching for women -
and the organisations that invest in their growth.
Partnering with capable women at a transition point where their current way of leading no longer fits
Leadership & career support for women
You’re capable, experienced, and committed, yet the way you’ve been leading yourself and others no longer feels sustainable or effective.
What once worked creates friction, hesitation, or fatigue. You sense a shift is required, even if the path forward isn’t clear yet.
You’re navigating complexity, growth, and expectation, often without a confidential, objective space to think clearly and honestly about how you want to lead next.
This work supports women at that transition point - where a new way of leading is emerging and needs space, clarity, and intention.
Courage comes first. Confidence follows.

Welcome to
Slay Your Dragons
Hello, I’m Sadia Ghazanfar, a Professional Certified Coach, former operational leader, Affiliate Practitioner and Scholar at University of Michigan, and founder of Slay Your Dragons.
For the past seven years, I’ve worked with women navigating growth, complexity, and increased responsibility - supporting them to move beyond self-doubt, develop confidence, and lead in ways that feel grounded and sustainable.
My approach is reflective, practical, and rooted in real-world leadership experience. I create confidential, objective spaces where women can think clearly, build emotional resilience, and evolve how they lead, without pushing harder or burning out.
This work is for women who know their current way of leading no longer fits, and are ready to step into what’s next with clarity.

INVESTING IN YOUR LEADERSHIP
Leadership can feel isolating, particularly as responsibility and visibility increase. Having the right support creates space and time to think, make considered decisions, and move forward with confidence.
Choosing to invest in your development isn’t about fixing yourself - it’s about recognising when your current way of operating no longer fits the level you’re working at now.
This work is for women who are ready to develop greater clarity, self-trust, and intention in how they lead, and who understand that meaningful growth rarely happens alone.
You don’t need to navigate this transition by yourself. The right partnership can make all the difference.
