Communicate with Confidence with Kirsty

29/08/2024

Goodbye 👋 X

I started my confidence and coaching business on the back of the end of my second maternity leave 2019 and at the start of lockdown 2020. I wanted to move away from teaching to, understandably, have more time with my children who were very little. I had some amazing experiences and clients. My skills as a teacher and pastoral leader were my basis and a wonderful resource. However, the following year after starting coaching I lost my beloved mother. It’s been the hardest thing I’ve endured. In fact I doubt I will ever fully recover. Prior to this I grieved for my darling father and brother. I do still have a huge loving family. I’m thankful. There are 2 sisters, 2 brothers, husbands, wives, nieces, nephews, cousins et al. I have a wonderful husband and two beautiful children. Some very close and kind friends. But my confidence and anxiety was off the scale, along with age related hormonal changes. So I paused and slowly took the foot of the pedal of my business. I couldn’t practice what I preached. I turned inwards, the opposite of communication & confidence. I continued to work part time as a drama teacher directing and producing performances and working with a great array of students. I acted well.

Obviously I had some great clients in that time but I did not feel like I was a completely authentic coach. I felt like I was hiding from myself.

This year I decided I needed to change things up and I have a new role starting in September. It will be full time. It will be a fantastic opportunity.

So I have decided to close this account and close the chapter on my business….Perhaps once my heart has healed a little more I will be able to work with clients one to one again with greater clarity. Perhaps there’s a different coaching pathway here…

Until then thank you for the support.

I’m not sure why my insta ain’t connecting with Facebook but I guess that’s why I’m not a social media guru!!! Send help. Ha!

I just want to shout at the moment about the need to tackle low mood, low self esteem and low confidence. I’m not saying it’s easy to become confident but it’s easier to stay on the sidelines wishing and hoping for better things. If you have a toolkit, a plan of action, a set of realistic goals then you can and will achieve. Too many women hold themselves back and to be honest I’m sick of women, young women, mums apologising for themselves. I do it too. Why do you say sorry and apologise when quite frankly you do not need to??!!!! Apologising for oneself is total BS!!!! Let’s rise above it. Let’s raise up women who have strength. At what point in life do you say I’m sick of apologising for myself? I’m not saying I’m the knowledge on positivity and confidence but I will not accept women apologising for things beyond their control.....just saying! Try not saying sorry. Just for a day. See what happens! This inherent culture can do one! Now is the time.....XxX

Amazing what a bit of make up can do!!
Confidence...it is really all about mindset isn’t it? I used to care so much about what people thought about me. Now I couldn’t possibly give one iota! You like me or you don’t. Up to you! I know who I am. I’m 43. Mum to two gorgeous kids. Wife to a hard working messy husband! I love the arts, theatre, dance, music, fashion. I’ve travelled the world, lived in London and had a lot of experiences before having kids! I don’t fit into a box or category and I’d much rather be talking the big talk, not the small talk. I love mentoring other women to find their happy. Get in touch to start realising your dreams!

I can’t not post on World Mental Health Day...another rocking Shakespeare quote. I believe Caesar to Cleopatra..(coming attacha!)...so let’s heed the advice - do not listen to the negative thoughts for they will keep you locked up and holding back from achieving! The world is such a strange place at the moment but being strong mentally will help you to break the chains of doom...This week I’ve struggled - real highs, real lows but it is my mindset that directs the course of my fate. I have the toolkit to survive. Over the years I’ve learnt to find strength even in the darkest moment.I’ll build you up and help you find your way! I’m particularly interested in working with women who run small businesses and within education
