Finding Your First Clients
You’ve got your business idea, it’s all planned out, you know you can do it, the next step is to get your message out there and find your first clients. So you need a big shiny website, all the social media accounts and a colour coded strategy right? Not necessarily. There are many well qualified…
Finding Clarity
The idea of finding clarity can sometimes make us anxious, because we feel as though once we can see something clearly we have to “do something about it”. Or the thought of finding clarity can be relaxing because we imagine that being clear about things will change how we behave. The important thing to remember…
Finding Calm
Most of the time, if we are stressed, tense, feeling overwhelmed, it is because we have needs that are not being met. Some of these needs can be obvious, we just haven’t got the opportunity to meet them in that moment. Some of them could be needs we tend to bury, ignore, overlook or dismiss…
Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway
You have probably heard me say that this is my mantra for 2020. I wanted to explore it a little bit this month, as September feels like the New Year and whilst that is exciting it is also nerve-wracking, as fresh starts often are. We have made it this far – we have got to…
Taming the Task List
We all have busy lives and our own ways of keeping on top of the To Do list. This month I thought it could be helpful if I shared with you how I manage my tasks and my day, as I’m known for my organisation. I used to joke that Microsoft Outlook was a visual…

Calming the Panic
Have you ever had a panic attack? I think I had my first one when I was about 8 years old, although I didn’t know it at the time. Panic attacks are funny things, they present themselves in different ways. We might imagine that someone having a panic attack will be fighting for breath, perhaps…
Let’s get you there
Where is it that you want to go? I don’t mean physically, although whilst we’re in lockdown there are places that we all wish we could physically go. I mean, where do you want to go in your life? If that question feels too huge, how about this one: how do you want to feel?…
My favourite tip for finding focus
One of the hardest things to find right now is focus. Motivation. The ability to get on and DO things. Of course, there are very good reasons for that. From a practical point of view, those of us who have children are trying to get things done with children in the house. Every parent knows…
Why NOT be confident?
This month I am writing about confidence. I was intending to look at imposter syndrome, and ways we can increase our confidence, or feel more confident about ourselves…. Then yesterday I realised that we need to flip the conversation on its head. Rather than looking at how we can be more confident the question really…
