The Cadence Method: Leadership Coaching
Unlock the Leader Within: No More Playing Small - It’s Your Time to Lead with Clarity, Purpose, and Unstoppable Impact
You weren’t made to blend in. You were made to lead - with depth, with conviction, with a vision that actually means something. If you’ve been waiting for permission to rise, this is it. It’s your moment to step out of the fog, own your power, and lead in a way that finally feels like you.
Are You Leading On Empty?
You’re in a senior role, with a seat at the table - but somehow, you still feel stuck. Like you’re running on fumes, managing everything except your own growth.
✓ You’re constantly putting out fires, but never feel like you’re actually moving forward.
✓ Your team looks to you for answers - but no one is helping you grow.
✓ You crave meaningful influence but feel invisible in the room where decisions happen.
✓ You’ve lost touch with your purpose - it all feels like performance without meaning.
✓ You’re exhausted from leading by doing instead of leading with intention.
✓ You wonder how others make it look so effortless while you’re drowning in to-dos.
✓ You’ve outgrown your current role, but don’t know how to evolve into something more.
✓ You feel like you’ve built your career by being reliable, not strategic - and now you want more.
If you answered YES to any of the above let me show you another way.
In 6 Months, You Could Be Leading With Clarity - and Scaling With Purpose
✓ You walk into meetings with unshakeable clarity, trusted to lead - not just execute.
✓ You’re seen, heard, and respected as a strategic force in the room.
✓ You’ve stopped over-functioning for everyone else - you’re no longer the safety net.
✓ Your purpose is sharp. Your decisions are anchored in it.
✓ Your leadership creates real value - and people finally see it.
✓ You’re not just climbing the ladder. You’re building your legacy.
✓ You lead from your centre, not from survival mode.
This isn’t a pipe dream. This is what aligned, empowered leadership actually looks like - and it’s within reach.
It's Not You. It's the Way You're Leading
Let’s be real.
You’ve been hustling your way to credibility. You’ve earned every ounce of trust by showing up, staying late, fixing what others missed.
You’ve led through action.
But you’re stuck in execution mode - while the kind of strategic leadership you crave feels just out of reach.
You’re not broken. You don’t need to work harder.
What you need is a shift.
From reactive to intentional. From over-responsibility to aligned influence. From overwhelmed operator to strategic leader.
Because leadership isn’t just about how much you do. It’s about who you become.
And there is a method for becoming that leader.
I’m the Coach Who Gets It - and Guides You Through It
My name is Liz McMillan. I’m a business strategist, two-time CEO, and the creator of The Cadence Method - a leadership coaching framework designed to help high-performing leaders scale their impact without sacrificing their soul.
Over the past 20 years, I’ve spent 35,000+ hours analyzing, shaping, and scaling businesses across the US and Australia. I rose from Analyst to SVP, then became CEO - twice - leading two companies through 8- and 9-figure exits.
But I’ve also been you.
I’ve been the overachiever. The plate-spinner. The leader who looked like she had it all together—while barely holding it together.
Until I hit a wall. And had to rebuild.
The Cadence Method was born from that rebuild.
It’s the roadmap I wish I had. Not just to lead better—but to lead in a way that felt aligned, expansive, and true.
Today, I help corporate leaders like you shift from exhausted executors to influential, fulfilled, purpose-aligned leaders.
And I want that for you.
The Real ROI: Become More Valuable to Your Team, Your Organisation - and Yourself
You’ve built the systems. You’ve led the teams. You’ve delivered the outcomes.
But who’s been building you?
Strategic leadership isn’t luck. It’s built.
When you invest in your leadership acumen:
✓ You become the go-to for high-stakes initiatives.
✓ You influence decisions that shape the future.
✓ You gain credibility not by doing it all - but by knowing what matters most.
✓ You become more valuable - to your organisation, your team, and most importantly, to yourself.
This isn’t just career growth. It’s internal liberation.
When your leadership is aligned, strategic, and values-led, everything changes:
✓ You feel grounded, clear, and powerful.
✓ You move from reaction to creation.
✓ You stop proving your worth - and start embodying it.
That’s the transformation that’s possible through this work.
The Real Levers: Influence, Impact, Alignment
If you’ve landed here, I know one thing for sure:
You’re ready for more.
✓ More influence.
✓ More impact.
✓ More alignment.
✗ Without selling your soul.
✗ Without running yourself into the ground.
✗ Without losing sight of who you are.
You don’t have to burn out to prove your worth.
Success isn’t about doing the most.
It’s about leading with clarity, conviction, and a deep sense of purpose.
It’s about knowing your value, claiming your voice, and creating change that actually matters.
This is leadership that feels true.
This is where legacy begins.
It’s time to lead in a way that reflects your truth - not your exhaustion.

If Nothing Changes... You Risk Burning Out Before Your Biggest Work Is Done
You’ve come this far by showing up, stepping in, and getting it done. But if nothing changes, you’ll keep doing all the things - without ever having the space to lead strategically.
You’ll stay stuck in execution, stretched across too many responsibilities, and still feel like you're not making the impact you know you're capable of.
Because leadership isn’t about doing it all yourself. It’s about aligning your energy with what matters most - so you can multiply your impact through others, not in spite of them.
And if you don’t make that shift? You risk burning out before your biggest work is done.
You were made for more than operational excellence. You were made to lead at a higher level - where your decisions shape strategy, your voice moves the business forward, and your presence creates lasting value.
That’s the version of you your team needs. And it’s the version of you this work will unlock.

Born From Experience. Built For Leaders Like You
For years, I led companies through transformation - scaling teams, delivering results, and creating value at every turn.
But behind the scenes, I was the one holding everything together. Managing pressure from the boardroom and the kitchen table. High-functioning, over-functioning - until it finally broke me.
I was the one holding everything What followed wasn’t just a professional reset. It was a personal reckoning - and a complete realignment of how I wanted to lead, live, and build.- at home, at work, in life.
The Cadence Method was born out of that realignment.
It draws on two decades of strategic leadership and the lived reality of leading when the stakes are high and the cost is personal. It’s built for leaders who have delivered outcomes, but feel disconnected from the way they’re doing it.
This isn’t about doing more. It’s about leading differently - building a leadership rhythm that sustains you, scales your impact, and creates lasting value at every level.
Because you can’t keep pouring out what hasn’t been restored. And you can’t create meaningful impact by losing yourself in the process.
The Cadence Method
Five Steps to True Leadership Transformation
The Cadence Method is a complete transformation system - built to realign how your team leads and what you’re building.
The Cadence Method is a strategic coaching and leadership development framework designed to help CEOs, executives, and emerging leaders scale their impact. It creates deep alignment between the leader and the business - unlocking clarity, effectiveness, and long-term value.
Here’s how the process works:
-
We start with perspective. Through a structured self-assessment, and a leadership clarity audit, we uncover strengths, blind spots, and opportunities for growth. This builds self-awareness and sets the stage for intentional leadership evolution.
-
We define the deeper “why” behind your leadership - and align it with the mission and trajectory of the business. Purpose becomes a practical anchor for decisions, priorities, and the kind of leader you’re becoming.
-
We translate your values into daily leadership behaviours - how you lead meetings, make decisions, communicate, and show up under pressure. This creates consistency and credibility, and strengthens trust across your team and organisation.
-
Together, we identify what needs to shift - in how you think, lead, and build. You’ll define meaningful leadership goals and map the behavioural changes (Leadership Imperatives) needed to scale your impact.
-
Finally, we zoom out to design your next chapter - shifting from manager to leader. We focus on influence, delegation, and system-building so your leadership is scalable, sustainable, and a catalyst for broader business success.
This isn’t about becoming a better manager.
It’s about evolving into a leader who drives clarity, alignment, and long-term value - for the business and everyone in it.
Still Wondering? Let’s Get Real.
✗ “I don’t have time to slow down for coaching.”
✓ That’s exactly why you need this. You’re leading without space to think. This creates it.
✗ “I should already know how to lead.”
✓ You were promoted for performance, not taught for leadership. This is your training ground.
✗ “What if this doesn’t work?”
✓ It already has - for dozens of leaders like you. It’s proven, structured, and personalised.
✗ “I’m not sure if I can justify the cost.”
✓ You’re investing in your capacity to lead, grow, and influence - with a ripple effect that touches every part of your career. And depending on your organisation, leadership development like this may be supported or reimbursed as part of your professional growth. It’s worth asking - because your company benefits when you lead at your best.
✗ “Is this just more mindset fluff?”
✓ No. This is practical, strategic coaching built on decades of real business leadership.
✗ “I’m not sure this is the right time.”
✓ There’s no perfect time. But there is a cost to waiting.
What Awaits When You Align Leadership Style
✓ Leadership presence that commands respect and inspires trust - without needing to be “on” all the time.
✓ Behavioural alignment so how you lead reflects your values - consistently, under pressure, and in every room.
✓ Scalable influence that allows you to create momentum through others, rather than doing it all yourself.
✓ Increased visibility and value across your organisation - you’re seen as a strategic driver, not just a doer.
✓ Internal ease - that powerful sense of “I’ve got this” that comes from leading in alignment with who you truly are.
This is the leadership edge that shifts everything - from your daily experience to your long-term trajectory.
