About

I could start by telling you about my life struggles, but I’d prefer to focus on your struggles and share with you what I’ve learned over the years, that has helped me to step out of my comfort zone, overcome procrastination and become more productive; in the hope that by sharing l can help you do the same.

So if you’re frustrated with your lack of productivity or perhaps you feel your team could be more productive; if you find it hard to focus and commit to one thing, or maybe when things get uncomfortable you find yourself retreating from your mission back to what is more comfortable, you’re not alone.

For over a year after I closed my business in 2015 I found myself going from one idea to another, never quite focusing on one thing long enough to make it work. I got myself a mentor to help keep me on track, but even then I went back to what I knew, because it was easier than pushing through my discomfort to learn new skills that felt really uncomfortable, to fulfil my true passion.

I was happy for a long while doing what I was doing. And, I’ve no regrets because I learned so much along the way. But… eventually I got the ‘itch’. The itch for a change. I wasn’t fulfilling what I knew to be my purpose and needed to do something about it. I needed to stop procrastinating and take action!

In 2021 on a whim I started a Life Coaching course. Nearly all the big decisions in my life have been on ‘the spur of the moment’. My intention was to work through the course quickly and start a life coaching business.

I started the course in October and planned to complete it by the end of December… then the end of January… the end of March… It wasn’t because I wasn’t committed to the course that I kept missing the deadlines I’d set for myself, but because the course took me on a journey of self discovery. It slowed me down as I had to deal with a few things from my past that were holding me back. I eventually passed and completed the course in July 2022. That was a day mixed with relief and joy.

However, over the months I knew that life coaching alone wasn’t enough for me. I still had this passion for business.. So how could I use what I had learned over the previous months in a way that I would find fulfilling?

I started to think about entrepreneurs and business owners and how like me back in 2015, have an idea but never see the vision through. Most people start a business because it’s something they enjoyed doing, maybe as a hobby or part time side hustle. They don’t realise how hard being a business owner or new entrepreneur is. You have to push new boundaries and when it starts to get uncomfortable, it’s much easier to return to what’s comfortable rather than keep going and push through, or find something new to do. And start the cycle over again.

It takes real grit to keep going and it helps to have someone in your corner rooting for you. Most likely you’ll be surrounded by people telling all the reasons why you shouldn’t do something rather than why you should! For example, you decide you want to lose weight, you tell your family and friends, and they may seem supportive on the surface, but they’ll still suggest the cream cake when you go for a coffee, or perhaps they’ll tell you that you don't need to lose weight. You need to have someone who is there for you, to hold you accountable so you join one of the many weight loss clubs to hold you accountable. It’s the same for any goal you want to achieve, and for business. Especially for business.

And that’s where I found my calling. Helping new entrepreneurs, and business owners and their teams to keep on track, helping them to be more productive and achieve more, through a holistic business coaching approach and for business with teams, building a coaching culture within the business.

Ensuring a good balance in all areas of life can have such a positive impact on you or your organisation, by reducing turnover, burnout and stress, enhancing performance, improving engagement, closing the gap in skill development, bringing about effective communication, increasing confidence and empowerment, helping leaders and managers to effectively coach their teams, encouraging critical thinking and problem solving and bringing about alignment with company goals.

And this is where I find my passion! Working with individuals and organisations to bring about positive change and improved productivity while reducing burnout and stress through holistic business coaching. This gives me such a buzz…
