Today is content creation day for me.

Not content like for socials.

In my world, content is about creating a learning experience that hits the client's goals.

I only do this after meeting key people involved in the program, to find out their needs and what behaviour change with impact means to them... we focus on what they need to DO, not what they need to learn.

This is where many trainings fail.

Each goal or objective is written as something actionable.
It's bloody hard to measure 'understanding' or 'know'.

Each session - whether delivered in person or virtually in person - has interaction, activities and real play, not role play.

It has things you can put into practice in your job or business. It has a call to action and next steps. And when part of a program, it has coaching and mentoring to help what's been learnt stick. Humans experience 'the forgetting curve' which is why many self paced generic video type courses or once off tick-box trainings do not bloody work.

So if you want a better, more impactful experience for yourself or a team at work - let's cut the crap and focus on you, not what the 'mentor' or 'coach' wants to tell or sell you πŸ˜‰

Losing 16mths of mortgage payments hit me hard.

The realisation that potentially, I was in the proverbial, left me thinking "How do I solve a problem like losing my biggest single deal of the year, along with another client workshop in less than a wk?"

Through nothing I did (or didn't do) - purely down to travel chaos and the geopolitical situation.

It was tough... bloody soul destroying.

That was my reality earlier this year. Running my own biz development meant I had closed/won to the tune of almost 40k that was now a closed/lost gap.

In corporate sales terms, it may not sound a lot... my reality after carving out a chunk for the taxman, paying my biz insurances and fees, meant it was the loss of 16 months mortgage payments.

Sure, it hit me hard... for a while had me questioning was I even capable of doing what I do.
(Reminded me of the time I had 4 high-level recruitment placements slide in the space of a week because of offers recinded, a partner deciding not to move and a counter offer of +25k that could not be beaten.)

I digress.

So what did I do instead? Rolled up my sleeves.
- Engaged with a biz mentor for support & accountability
- Re-clarified my message + ideal customer
- Sharpened up my offering.
- Used AI for research and fishing, not human connection & outreach
- Quicker follow up on referrals and leads I'd generated thru outreach
- Fine tuned my messaging to align with buyers personal behavioural preferences.
- Held my nerve on pricing
- Let go of the outcome.
- Stopped the panic with resilient practices daily.

The result?

- Over 75k new in my pipeline.
- Closed won a new client, plus a new partnership and gained 2 repeat bookings. (Always grateful)
- Secured radio & press that helped build my authority & brand
- A SheInspires | Recognition. Leadership. Opportunity. award nomination & finalist confirmation
- Content filmed for new approach
And most importantly...
- Revenue Gap closed, mentor & content services paid for & back on track.

All while delivering workshops and coaching sessions that create an impact and improve performance for others.

Celebrating how far I've come with a cheeky blowdry. Happy Friday

Remember a few weeks ago, I shared I'm a SheInspires - Celebrating Women award finalist?

When I set up in March 2023 I would not have thought being nominated for one award was possible... yet here I am shortlisted for this prestigious award midway through year three.

Today is my interview with the panel of judges.
My small in size but large in global reach business gets to be mentioned alongside some great businesses...
It's a very competitive category - course it is - so to even make the final cut is a blessing.

Excited? Of course.
Nervous? Definitely!
Grateful? Always.πŸ’›

That combined with a day of leadership coaching for a lovely client reminds me that I get to do some amazing things and call em work!

Wish me luck 🀞🏻

Your team isn't lazy - their calendar is doing them a dirty on prioritising what is important and what can wait.

"Should this be a meeting?" is something I work on with teams often because we get so caught up in the hustle, we often lose track on what is important AND what is urgent... versus what simply isn't.
Find out what I mean in this short video...

Aswell as Creating Lightbulb Moments training and coaching for businesses, I'm launching The Corporate Insider for working women...

But what and who is The Corporate Insider?

πŸ’« Part coach.
πŸ’« Part mentor.
πŸ’« Part corporate translator.
πŸ’« Part community.

Helping working women stop blaming themselves for how they feel at work (and outside of it!) And start living and working on their terms and to their rules.

Stopping the Sunday Scaries and helping ease those post holiday blues.

Leaving you more in control, with higher self worth and a plan to move you forward - whatever that looks and feels like for you.

Helping you create your best BET that balances out how you hold your BOUNDARIES, your ENERGY & your TIME.

No tick box training or generic coaching.

Instead, a bespoke blueprint with 1:1 time and space built around your busy schedule, plus the opportunity to have other women alongside you for chats, questions and bouncing ideas.

Think of it as a place to maintain your sanity in a world that's often losing theirs around you.

This explains better than me typing here... πŸ’›

Drop me a πŸ’› if you're interested in finding out more

(or if you have a working woman in your life that would benefit from being part of it.)

My top tip before you go on holiday?

Plan your 1st and 2nd day back after your holiday...

Day 1 morning is always 3-4 hours blocked for email, admin and catch up.
No sales calls, delivery or project meetings unless super urgent. Remove the overwhelm.

My day 1 went swimmingly, meaning this morning has been a breeze and already I've been able to:

- Complete a New client onboarding call and NDA signed...

- Confirm 2 day booking for leadership training with existing client in July & Sept.

- Finish a PR pitch drafted ready to share with Laura at Laura Perkes, PR with Perkes

- Team charter completed and ready to send to Alice | The Award Winning Social Media Confidence CoachπŸͺ© as part of their workshop follow up.

Great way to start a new week, especially just back from holidays. πŸ™ŒπŸ»

Next step to prep for some client coaching - a new program starting on Thursday.

And then fun stuff... getting those flights to Marrakesh booked for Kerry Boland Award Winning Business Mentor & Sales Strategist retreat!
No post holiday blues here.

This is for you if you are a working woman who is good at what she does, yet quietly exhausted by how much that still isn't enough.

You are currently showing up, delivering, and holding it together.

You take on more than you should. You say yes when you mean no.
You make yourself smaller in rooms where you should be taking up space.

You are tired of being overlooked for opportunities you are more than ready for.
Tired of second-guessing yourself in meetings.
Tired of watching people with less experience and more confidence get further, faster.

You want to feel as capable on the outside as you know you are on the inside.
You want to stop shrinking.
You want a career that actually reflects what you bring to the table... without having to become someone you're not to get there.

And right now it feels like you're one of the only ones who feels this way. Like everyone else has figured something out that nobody told you. Like the rules exist, you just were never handed them.

You weren't. But that's about to change. You deserve to be a winner.

Tomorrow I am closing out 2 coaching spots with two brilliant women - they've grown and taken up space. Expanded their biz on one side, gained a well earnt bonus on the other side. V has cleared her work calendar to enjoy her upcoming family vacation... S has decided she is worthy of taking a holiday for first time in 3years.
Which means I am opening my doors from July.

If this post just described your life, I want to work with you. Expand is a 1:1, personal and customised container where you get to expand and take up space without taking on more sh*t from everyone else.
A personalised blueprint. 6 sessions to scope, plan, grow.
An accountability mentor to keep you on track. Oh and 1:1 cheerleading via WhatsApp.

Early bird pricing with a 25% discount is available for anyone who books before the doors officially open.
Drop a πŸ™‹β€β™€οΈ below or send me a DM and I will get you the details. You deserve better. It's time to EXPAND.

There are times when you need to push the pause button and take some time out of the madness.

When life is life-ing and work/business is busy, that can feel like an impossible task - getting intentional about making time for you is so important.

So the well timed Niche Famous Summer Soiree, hosted by the fabulous Laura Perkes Laura Perkes, PR with Perkes was always going to deliver in creating time and space to pause...
With fab food, cracking conversations with Jess Keniston | Whole Body Coaching & Charmian Johnson in the most gorgeous, calming surroundings - my emotional system felt it more than OK to slow down. (We were so busy chilling, we forgot to get a pic together πŸ˜‚πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

No emails, no calls or meetings... our only choices were what to do for ourselves next.

Going into 8 days of client delivery, events, speaking on stage, branded video shoots and a strategy day to help me nail my H2 of 2026... this was the perfect tonic I needed.

(Getting confirmation of my enhanced speaker slot on the way home was the cherry on the cake! The power of good PR showcasing my authority ✨️)

What a week so far... EMOTIONAL!

The most gorgeous client feedback from E, a 1:1 'Expand' container client yesterday. I'd love to post a snippit from it, but it was a 2.5 minute voicenote that made me cry. 😭

Together, we impacted her life at home and in her business by:
πŸ’› building self love and developing self acceptance
πŸ’› levelling tf up with better boundary setting
πŸ’› increasing her productivity without overwhelm through understanding how she ticks
πŸ’› developing ways to feel less stressed overall using her colour energy blueprint
πŸ’› and created a huge, positive impact in her business.

Today, a new biz client discovery call at 10am turned into a 2nd call with their Operations Manager this aft. The feeling of giddiness and excitement you get when you're aligned is palpable. They want to meet in person ASAP to talk next steps.

And at 6pm, a sense of pride.
I received my EMCC (European Mentoring & Coaching Council) award into my inbox. This is a big one from a trust & credibility perspective.

After submitting a ton of evidence, coaching logs, personal statements and completed supervision, the process has all been beneficial and worthwhile. I've fannied about with this for years so am proud of myself that I took my finger out my ar$e and made this happen.

Officially now accredited and licensed for the next 5 years as an Executive & Mindset Coaching Practitioner.

So if you're ready to EXPAND and take up space as you rightfully should - DM me EXPAND to find out how you can get customised guidance, support and tough love to achieve your goals and live, not just exist, in the next 3 to 6 months.

We live in a society of always being connected.

And I get it, I'm a bu**er for it at times too.

But the one time that a manager f'ed me out of it because I had my instant messenger app on DND as I was facilitating a workshop and I didn't respond to him 'immediately, because that's what IM is' - my thoughts on IM changed.

Another time, I was on BBM (Remember that) on my hols one Summer for almost 2hours trying to sort out something that wasn't my issue. That day was ruined as mindset was fried.

Instant Message does not mean instant response.
Remember that as you are:
- feeding yourself
- feeding your children
- on the beach or pool on holiday/vacation
- about to go to sleep
- heading to the bathroom
- or actually doing some other important high value work that needs your undivided attention.

Use your IM status to signal to others there is a delay. Add a note to be more specific.

If on your personal device, have hours where you have no notifications. Delete the bloody things on your time off if you have to.

Or if you must use them, have a holding message as your status "Currently OoO/Currently with Clients, pls expect delayed response of upto 8hours"

You're always tired because your nervous system is on full tilt and you've loops open in your head meaning your cognitive load is at peak.

Stop. Pause.
Reset your rules around IM.
