You carry it all. What if you didn’t have to?
You’re the one who makes things happen. You have an idea in your head and bring it to life.
You’re the visionary, the problem solver, the strategist, often all at once.
You wear every hat: marketing, finance, operations, and leadership. You manage teams, projects, and expectations. And somehow, through it all, you keep going.
As the weight of decision-making grows heavier and there’s no one who truly gets it, the loneliness creeps in.
But leadership doesn’t have to be lonely.
Welcome to Lonely Leaders
A membership designed exclusively for independent leaders like you.
A space to connect, share, and be supported by others who get it.
Because leadership is hard enough, why do it alone?
This membership is for you, if you…
Work in isolation – You lead projects, a company, or creative businesses and often feel like you’re carrying everything alone.
Struggle to put yourself first – You’re passionate about your work but constantly prioritise others, leaving little time or energy for yourself.
Juggle multiple roles – You’re not just the artistic visionary; you’re also managing finances, marketing, fundraising, operations, and leading teams (if you have one).
Feel the pressure of decision-making – You’re responsible for the big calls, from creative direction to financial sustainability, often without a trusted space to offload.
Are the energy source of your team – Whether leading solo or with a small team, you’re the driving force and feel the responsibility of sustaining everyone.
Want connection, clarity, and courage – You crave a space to share, reflect, and gain the confidence to make bold moves in your leadership without burning out.

So does this sound familiar?
If any of this feels like your reality, you’re not alone and you don’t have to keep navigating it by yourself.
Listen, we have been where you are. We know what it’s like to lead alone, to carry the responsibility of making it all happen, without a space to release the weight. That’s why we have created Lonely Leaders.
This membership is built on the belief that leadership is stronger when shared.
Here, wins (big or small) are celebrated, questions are encouraged, and vulnerability is welcomed.
Through guided sessions, co-working spaces, expert guest workshops, and regular check-ins, you’ll gain both practical tools and emotional support.
You’ll find clarity, energy, and resilience, not just for your work, but for yourself. No more leading in isolation.
It’s time to lead with community.

Meet Vicki, your Lonely Leaders Instigator
Hey You. I’m Vicki Igbokwe-Ozoagu, Director of Empowerment at people make it work.
Being a lonely leader is something I’ve experienced first-hand, and, at times, still do.
It doesn’t truly go away, right? Some days are full and connected, while others can be dark and overwhelming. When I look back at my journey, the brighter times were when I found spaces to connect with like-minded individuals on their own paths. Spaces where I could share ideas, speak out loud and get meaningful feedback, vent a little, laugh, cry, and celebrate without fear of judgment.
As a coach, mentor, and facilitator, I’ve supported Artistic Directors, CEOs, creative entrepreneurs, artists and more. Leaders who hold the vision and make it happen. Many of them know what it’s like to walk into a room and feel like an outsider. To be the only one with their perspective, their lived experience, their way of seeing the world. I’ve helped them prioritise themselves, put their visions first, and build sustainable habits that support both their well-being and work.
I understand what it’s like to feel stretched too thin, questioning every decision, and yearning for spaces where you can simply be. Spaces where your superpower, being yourself, is truly celebrated.That’s why I created Lonely Leaders, a space that brings together everything I’ve wished for at different points in my journey. A space where you can find connection, clarity, confidence, courage, and the kind of support that reminds you that you’re not alone.
Let’s navigate this journey together.
Lonely Leaders is here to change the way independent leadership feels.
Less isolated, more connected, and fully supported.
Whether you’re joining for yourself or investing in those you work with, this membership ensures no leader has to navigate alone.
