“Feel the fear and do it anyway.”

I’ve recommended Susan Jeffers’ book for years.

Recently, I had to take my own advice.

Climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge, already in my 60s, with a fear of heights, tested me more than I expected.

Fear didn’t disappear.

But something else showed up alongside it — resilience.

A reminder that it’s never too late to do something that stretches you.

Not by pushing harder…
But by staying with yourself as you take the next step.

I just wanted to share this achievement. I’m smiling here, over half way up after breathing through the tricky bits and feeling the air on my face ..

I made it to the top ..

For any woman wondering if she’s “too old” or “not able” anymore…

You might be more capable than you think…

What an amazing week it has been at UK Startup & Scaleup Week.

Super grateful for the opportunity to speak about ‘keeping going and not worrying about fitting a stereotype’ yesterday. Joined others telling their inspirational stories of resilience on Day 5 . Everyone so generous with their time. encouragement and insights.

Every day there have been so many tips and techniques about starting and growing a business .

This is such a wonderful business community where people share expertise and lift each other up.

This is so true ..
Looking for ‘glimmers’ rather than responding to triggers.
I’m looking forward to working with you and have appointments from 17 June .

“ If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change “

I was reminded of this quote ( it’s one from Wayne Dyer) this week when a client tested out some NLP techniques to manage stressful situations in her new management role .

I’ve been using NLP (Neurolinguistic Programming ) for over 20 years since becoming a practitioner.

It’s a brilliant tool to help us reframe.

I’m super impressed with the way Marie has put it into practice this week and is seeing such positive results.

The effort brings the payoff every time ..

I thought I would share some of what really served me well when I was facing a challenge recently. Hope it helps...

Top 10 things I learned to do when Managing my own Transition As a Coach and Facilitator who enables others to mange change. Ive been busy.

I have a natural affinity and ability to assist and coach others to grasp their aspirations and help crystalise their future intentions. Whilst an Associate with Working Transitions I have been fortunate to have coached internationally across many sectors. My work stems from my own core values and beliefs that all people are unique, creative and whole.

You will need to dig deep to rediscover your latent qualities and be proud of who you are. This will lead to a focused level of self-esteem so that all your future employers have the opportunity to see your value and engage with your natural your valuable talents. This will help you so that when you are applying for jobs and having interviews you can freely and confidently sell yourself. Together we can identify your transferable skills and unique strengths in a way that you can write about them and talk about them to secure the job you want and move forward successfully in your career.

It is very common to talk ourselves out of an opportunity before we even start applying because we are convinced we won’t be successful. I will work with you to uncover your natural potential and overcome your limiting beliefs.
