Navigate your life and your career
Choose leadership
Leadership is not just for the C suite exec, but rather a mindset of choosing to step up and engage with all areas of our potential – as dedicated professionals, as community members, and as family members.
Your next big adventure
Sometimes we are all about keeping the calm and happy to let the road take us where it leads – whether this is an intentional strategy or just happens. There are other times when we feel like storm season – what seemed like paradise has suddenly twisted and turned into one drenching after another. And sometimes, we are ready for the next big adventure.
“You helped me clear the leadership fog with your step-by-step approach.”
– Jason, General Manager
Why Choose Leadership?
Chooseleadership operates on the belief that within all of us is greater potential than we usually allow to shine through. For many of our clients, a little assistance is all that is required to ensure that the journey of reaching potential is no longer perceived as a difficult chore but a motivating rediscovery. We ALL have the ability to choose leadership.
About Lanie Byk
Over the last 15 years I have combined my background in the corporate world with my education as a Leadership Coach, Facilitator and Adult Education specialist to create a confidential space where leaders can compassionately explore themselves, their purpose, and their role in creating a better future. And then we follow it up with a dose of brave and strategic actions.
"I love working in diverse areas of leadership – it's quite incredible to see how learning in one area can inform another.
I recently had a week that included leadership coaching with executive directors in state government, delivering a PRINT® Program to a senior team of a national not-for-profit, presenting a national Zoom leadership program to ready young female lawyers for partnership prospects, facilitating amazing Aboriginal women at WA Aboriginal Institute and discussing values with Aboriginal women in custody."

Our clients have lovely things to say...
"I now after working with Lanie have a different view of myself and the negative voices have been quietened to allow me time to think and become more real and accepting of myself. Over this short time that, I’ve worked with Lanie, I have developed and gain such confidence that I, like never before, trust myself and my skills and knowledge.
The different perspectives I’ve learnt throughout Lanie’s mentorship regarding my personalities, my strengths and weaknesses and the techniques along with the evidenced-based resources and teachings, make every hard pill easier to accept and try on for change. The person-centredness reinforced my self-esteem & self-awareness, and so my personal limitation has shifted. Thank you Lanie 😊"
"I had the pleasure of working with Lanie for a series of coaching sessions as well as completing my PRINT profile. Right away Lanie put me at ease. She listens without judgement and was able to create an atmosphere of trust and safety where I felt comfortable talking to her about challenges I was facing and areas of my work where I needed help. Lanie is kind, calm and very perceptive. She was able to cut to the heart of whatever we were discussing with well-considered questions that truly helped me to reflect and be more honest about what I wanted and needed. Thank you Lanie, for the much-needed confidence boost and for showing me a world of possibilities for growth both professionally and personally."
"Lanie has been an incredible coach. Over the last 2 years helped me build my professional confidence which has grown my career success. I look forward in continuing to engage with her in the future."
"Lanie has supported me from the beginning of my journey in her facilitation role and then as a coach. She has excellent cross-cultural communication skills and always works on tangible actions. I have found her coaching to be incredible, but furthermore, Lanie as a person and woman, to be invaluable.
I would recommend Lanie unanimously."
"Lanie led our team through a series of reflective and engaging techniques that helped us explore and understand our individual strengths and weaknesses, as well as understand the motivators and styles of each of our team members. Her ‘learning through doing’ approach was an effective and gentle way to appreciate how we can collectively make best use of our strengths, and has provided me with lessons I continue to use."
"Thank you for your PRINT® feedback and your coaching session. I have got a lot out our time together, the main thing was my confidence in my ability and to lean into my uniqueness."
"Lanie has been working with WAALI (Western Australia Aboriginal Leadership Institute) since our inception in 2016 and continues to do so. Lanie is a pleasure to work with, as she always presents with absolute professionalism and humility in the Aboriginal leadership learning space. She is a very popular member of the WAALI family, and her experience and commitment to our organisation is highly valued.
I would highly recommend Lanie for any work or project that she undertakes."
"I had previously worked with Lanie when I implemented the inaugural Pilbara Experiential Leadership Program in the Pilbara. Lanie facilitated the seven events over a seven-month program. Her skills evidenced at the LWA program prompted me to invite her to facilitate the workshop hosted at SCH. "
"Lanie is an exceptional coach who has mastered the art of asking great guiding and challenging questions with grace that opens doors to further exploration and opportunity. Lanie is always available and goes the extra mile to check in and follow up. I have always enjoyed creating new spaces, opportunities and programs with Lanie, who is always open to exploring new ideas, strategies and approaches. I continue to recommend Lanie to work with my team, colleague and network, as the outcomes she leads others to achieve are always positive and rewarding."
"Lanie has consistently delivered leadership training and coaching services to the program participants and graduates of the Western Australian Aboriginal Leadership Institute. Lanie is conscious of her positionality as a non-Indigenous facilitator and offers a culturally safe and supportive environment for Indigenous Australian participants. Lanie is genuine in her engagement, listens and sees feedback as an opportunity for constant improvement.”
"Lanie, I am truly grateful for your advice and guidance. You helped me clear the leadership fog with your step-by-step approach.
Look forward to working with you again."
