Hello there Insta!

It's been a minute!!

Behind the scenes I've been cracking on with my favourite part of everything.....helping my people feel like they can do anything they set their mind to!

Nothing beats the warm glow I get when standing alongside someone and supporting them into advocating for themselves effectively. I want all of my people to outgrown me. That's how I measure my effectiveness. And being effective at what I do counts for everything in my world.

Since I last posted I've gained an MA in Coaching and Mentoring and both ICF and ABM/ILM accreditations - but if the practical results don't match up with the letters after my name, am I walking my talk?!

That's why feedback like this means so much to me. ❤️

Me : How do you feel like these last 10 weeks of coaching have impacted you?

Client : I'm SHE-RA!

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Obviously I'm summarising here, but there's a lot of truth in this little moment.

Coaching and mentoring are meant to make you feel like She-Ra. There are lots of points along the way which definitely won't feel as fabulous as that, but on reflection, you should always be able to see how far you've come!

Its moments like these which make all the time, effort and bloody hard work, worthwhile.

If you're interested in being a bit more She-Ra - get in touch!

Hi there!

I've taken a break from here for a while to concentrate on the Masters in Coaching and Mentoring I'm undertaking through the ILM.

I'm committed to my own self-improvement as much as my clients' self-improvement. If I can't walk my talk, who am I?!

It's hard going at times, but I'm sticking with it because I can see how much value I derive from this course, and much value I can hopefully pass on to my clients in the future!

What committments are you making and sticking to right now?

Hello, sudden flurry of newbies on my profile! Welcome :)

Since it's been a while since I said much about who I am and what I do, here's the latest update:

Who am I? - As a Business, Communication and Financial Consultant and Coach, I have a broad experience of working with and mentoring entrepreneurs and self-employed people from all walks of life, to encourage, enable and facilitate growth and to assist in the achievement of goals both large and small.

Just as no two individuals are the same, no two businesses are the same, but all successful enterprises are built upon the same foundations. Knowing what having support in creating and maintaining solid foundations looks and feels like through both my own personal working life, and through working alongside other entrepreneurs in a supporting role, has given me deep insight into how I can reach in to support other soul-led, heart-driven entrepreneurs in the successful creation of their vision.

My background is in education, coaching, finance, mediation & negotiation, and the law as it applies to individuals and corporate entities. I have worked for a number of HNW individuals in senior roles within their organisations and also for over a decade in the larger corporate financial world as head of European accounting departments for large import/export businesses and as advisor to the socially responsible and ethical fund management departments for private investment banks, before setting out on my own as a tax and financial consultant.

In the past decade, I've also become proficient in applying these skills to the legal world as it cross-sects with corporate and individual entities. Since the loss of legal aid to individuals in most cases, and given the high cost of employing a reputable legal representative, there are a growing number of Litigants in Person (LIPs) who require guidance and confidence when facing an often better resourced opponant in an unfamiliar arena such as the legal system. I provide that support and guidance and additionally serve as a negotiation facilitator and mediator as required, both at an individual and corporate level.

After a profitable and enjoyable decade growing and encouraging other peoples' businesses and vision, and overseeing the growth and development of my own venture, I decided it was time to give back some of what I have learnt and benefited from in mentoring those who are at the start of realising their dreams. I now partner with the Institute of Learning and Mentoring and Enterprise Nation as they implement the government funded Help to Grow programme, nationally. Through HTG I offer 10 sessions of clear, concise coaching designed to enable you to better understand and identify your strategy, implement it and expand your business in the direction you desire safely knowing you have a reliable advisor you can count on. Interested in HTG? Email [email protected] or try 07488 867976

Together we can change the world for good.

Change is coming.

I'm currently listening to the production of Susan Cooper's amazing book "The Dark is Rising", which was released at Christmastime, but I've not had a chance to get to yet.

It's full of the fearful, imminent approach of change, and yet it's underlying message is all about surviving and even thriving through that change as it comes. It's absolutely wonderful, and you should definitely listen to it if you haven't already had the chance.

In my own life I'm feeling the impact of some rather huge changes. Since the beginning of the year we have endured the upheaval of, and are now enjoying the results of, major renovations to our home. It's now signficantly warmer and comfier inside. We have all those things you'd take usually for granted, like indoor stairs to upstairs(!), hot water and heating on tap, and insulated walls, floors and ceilings. There's still a longish way to go, but we have future-proofed as far as we are able with solar panels, an air-source heat pump, a new and very efficient water tank and lots of internal wall insulation. This summer we will look to add in battery storage for our excess solar, and potentially a water pump to both bring river water in as grey water for our toilets and washing machine/dishwasher, and to convert the flow to electricity for the batteries to store.

I'm looking at a pivot in my working life too. It feels somewhat that pivoting IS what I do for work! I've been welcoming new coaching clients on board through the government funded Help to Grow programme, begun a Masters in Learning and Mentoring through the Institute of Learning and Mentoring, and begun to offer corporate coaching programmes as well as my online Effective Communication course and my work supporting Litigants in Person through the legal process.

It feels like a lot, but I also feel ready for it - and I have lots more to share!

Change is coming - are you ready for it?
