Life Coaching for Smart Women at a Crossroads
Creative Female Entrepreneurs
I find immense joy in sharing the invaluable lessons I've learned throughout my journey leading a successful exhibition design agency for more than 25 years.
My coaching style is a fusion of creativity, strategy, and unwavering support, using a combination of CBT, NLP and EFT modalities and I use a unique psychometric assessment for resilience & wellbeing at work (Wraw).
I believe that within each of us lies the strength to tackle life's challenges and that we don't need to "have it all"; we just deserve to have what we truly desire.

You’ve done the work. The training. The soul-searching. And you’re ready to walk away from your corporate role. But here’s what most women don’t hear before they make the leap.
1. Your Identity Will Shift You're not just changing jobs, you’re changing identity. From employee to founder. From team player to decision-maker. Be gentle with yourself in the in-between.
2. You’ll Need a Plan, Not Just Passion Your vision matters. But so does your business model. Before you hand in your notice, ask:
How will I attract clients?
How much do I need to earn?
What’s my runway? Hope is not a strategy. Make a plan.
3. You’ll Need Boundaries With Your Time and Energy In corporate, someone else sets your hours. In your own business, that’s on you. Without structure, you’ll either overwork or drift. Protect your energy.
4. You Might Miss the Old You And That’s OK There may be days when you miss the clarity, the team, the routine. That doesn’t mean you made the wrong choice. It means you’re human.
5. This Is the Start of Something Bigger If you’ve been called to this work, there’s a reason. Trust it. Your business isn’t just a career change it’s a becoming.
Leaving corporate isn’t just about escaping something. It’s about creating something better. Go in with your eyes open, your plan clear, and your heart grounded in why you started.
Want to find out the foundations you need to lay at the start of your business? book a call and I'll give you the first few steps to get you started.
