Gina Gardiner & Friends with Helen Amery - You Are Successful & You Think You Have Everything, Right

My name’s Helen Amery and even before starting Wild Fig, back in 2014, I’ve had a passion for great leadership and great cultures.

Now, my work removes internal interference so that being a founder under pressure doesn’t diminish your impact.

I work with founders whose internal state has become a risk factor in what they want to deliver. They’re still externally achieving, but they’re also carrying a weight of responsibility and complexity that most people never experience.

These people are founders who care deeply about how they lead.

And who refuse to sacrifice their values, relationships, or integrity just to keep performing.

This work didn’t come from theory

For a long time, I lived inside the same paradox many of my clients now recognise.

From the outside, I looked capable, composed, and successful.

On the inside, I was running on pressure, over-responsibility, and self-control.

I could lead.

I could deliver.

But the way I was doing it came at a cost.

I was:

Over-giving and under-receiving
Managing myself constantly to avoid letting anyone down, and to avoid any negative thoughts, feelings or behaviours causing problems
Carrying responsibility that wasn’t actually mine
Holding it together professionally while leaking pressure through reactions in personal relationships

Although nothing was fundamentally breaking. Indeed people commented on how well I was doing. But I knew something was out of integrity.
