About Me

I remember being sat in the function room of a hotel waiting to hear my professional fate, during yet another restructure. Even though I was told that my job was safe, in that moment I realised that I wanted to have my own business and took action from that point to establish the business that I knew was within me to create. Life changing!

One of the biggest lessons I continue to learn through my own personal development journey is to trust and let go. It is something of a mantra that I keep in mind any time I get a little control freaky, and believe me that can be often! Whenever I trust and let go all the neediness and edginess within me dissipates and magic happens.

Dr Steve Peters, author of The Chimp Paradox, the most enlightening book I ever read. Paulo Coelho, for showing that dreams are there to be fulfilled. Gabrielle Chanel, for her single minded pursuit of goals. Frida Kahlo, for her spirit, individuality and influence beyond her time.

We have one life and I intend to live it fully. It sounds completely cliche and yet we can so easily drift, I drifted for many years and now I love showing my daughter that there is a different way. That each day we can do what brings us joy.

You helped me figure out how to express my dream in a way that really engages people. So they “get it”.

You helped me share/communicate my mission in a way that makes peoples eyes light up when I talk about it.

You helped me to take an honest look at myself and discover my inner strengths, values, passions and what I stand for.

You helped me to discover my essence and how I would use it to make a difference.

You have a way of asking about a challenge in a quirky and direct way that makes you really think.

You are a great ‘dot connector’ and showed me towards the end of the conversation how I connected the dots, and how that may not give me the right drawing I want or need.

You asked insightful questions which challenged and redirected my thought processes.

You gave me different perspectives and shared stories which made me think more deeply about my direction.

I admire greatly your ability to create new ideas and concepts.

I have received from you understanding of how to be joyful in the face of adversity. How to be present for others. How to listen and be truthful to yourself and others.

You helped me to understand that authenticity isn’t about being original, it isn’t fixed, it is where we are right now.

I love how you marry your straight talking business head with your girly being.

You are straight talking and ask me the questions that no-one else will. Often challenging, always supportive.

You help me imagine greater. I have ideas for my business and when I share them with you will often expand them to double or quadruple what I imagine in terms of impact.

You brought me clarity by joining the dots between the different tools I was using…so now I have a meaningful framework for bringing structure to my thinking and my actions, and as a result I feel in control and ready for action.
