Finally a leadership community designed exclusively for middle managers who want to lead with clarity, get recognised, and grow their careers, without the stress and second-guessing.
You're caught between senior leaders' demands and your team's needs... and no one sees how much weight you're carrying
You’re constantly firefighting, juggling priorities, and second-guessing your decisions.
You've watched colleagues with less experience leapfrog ahead while you feel stuck.
You wonder, "Should leadership really feel this lonely, stressful and thank less?"
If this is you, you're not alone. Leading from the middle without guidance or support is one of the toughest jobs in business today.
Maybe you've tried to fix it by:
📚 Reading leadership books that sound good but don't stick in real life.
👩🏽💻 Attending one-off trainings that inspire you for a week, but then nothing changes.
🎧 Piecing together advice from blogs, podcasts, TEDs, and articles, hoping you'll figure it out on your own.
But here's the truth, all are good yet none of these give you practical tools, ongoing support, and community that understands the reality of middle management.

Hi, I’m Sally Foley-Lewis, and I know exactly what it’s like to be stuck in the middle juggling the expectations of senior leadership while trying to lead a team effectively.
With over two decades of leadership development experience, I’ve coached and mentored middle managers across industries to lead with confidence, execute with efficiency, and drive real results.
I’m a multi-award-winning Certified Speaking Professional (CSP), author of multiple books including The Productive Leader and Successful Feedback, and the creator of leadership frameworks like the "Burger Model for High-Performing Middle Managers" and the E.E.C.C.™ Feedback Formula.
I created The Middle Matters Membership to give middle managers the support, training, and confidence they need to thrive in their role and advance their careers without burning out.
