𝙄𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪, 𝙠𝙚𝙚𝙥 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜!

My "old" life was "ok", but I always suspected there might be more out there for me 

Then I got made redundant.... 

After the initial panic, I decided to use this as an opportunity to do what I'd never really done before: 
- find out what I actually wanted from life 
- get myself the support to help me 
- and CHANGE my life 
And I can honestly say I have never looked back! 

Now I want to support as many people as possible to live the life they love, now - however that looks for you at work, at home, and for life as a whole. 

There are various ways I can support you, including 1 to 1 or small group coaching
- Kickstart your change - a 4 week programme to get you taking empowered action 
- A little shot of confidence - a 4 week programme where you'll walk away knowing you are amazing! 
- Get your ideal role - a 4-6 week programme preparing you for your ideal role 
- CHANGE - a 3 month transformation programme taking you from where you are to loving your whole life 

I also run masterclasses, past subjects have included: confidence, creating change, managing conflict, working with different personality types 

I work with both individuals and organisations too, for more information DM me!  

I am passionate about equity - not just everyone having the same opportunities, but having flexibility around what we each need to be able to do our best at what we chose.

And I'm passionate about everyone living the life they love now - no more waiting - so if you're ready then reach out to me now!
