Leadership rarely arrives with a neat instruction manual. Sometimes it’s a knotty conversation you didn’t see coming. Sometimes it’s a decision that sits firmly in the grey. And sometimes, it’s simply the quiet question am I handling this the right way?

That’s exactly why we introduced our new ‘Ask the Experts’ feature. And now, we’re delighted to say – it’s officially live!

Meet the experts answering your leadership dilemmas

Beth brings energy, warmth and a refreshing honesty to leadership challenges. An award-winning author of WorkJoy and an experienced leadership coach, she’s on a mission to make work feel better – more human, more fulfilling, and of course, more joyful!

Honest answers to real leadership challenges

Together, Beth and Sarah bring two distinct – but deeply complementary – lenses to leadership.

Starting in the spring issue of Edge magazine – available exclusively to members of the Institute of Leadership – they tackle real questions submitted by readers. No theory-heavy jargon. No one-size-fits-all advice. Just thoughtful, practical guidance grounded in real experience.

Your question could be next

We’re now inviting submissions for our upcoming editions of Edge, for summer, autumn and winter 2026.

So, whether your challenge feels big or small, strategic or personal – the chances are someone else is facing it too.

  • A tricky team dynamic
  • A conversation you’re putting off
  • A decision that won’t sit still
  • Or simply a moment where you need a second perspective

Anonymous submissions are always welcome.
