Working together 121

Bespoke, Transformative Coaching, Creative Mentoring and creative strategy

Let’s work together to give you the clarity, strategy, accountability and creative magic you and your business or freelance work deserve (and celebrate all parts of you). I’m about to explain all about it, but if you want to cut straight to package click on the button!

You deserve a life where you do work you adore (and I bet you’re brilliant at it too), the clarity and confidence to make decisions based on intuition and intellect, to get paid well for your time and the space to have hobbies and rest.

And yes, sometimes it won’t be possible to have all of this simultaneously. But your business can absolutely support you financially, emotionally and sustainably, and there can be room for “more” than “just” your work (even though you love your work).

• You love so much about your life and your business, but you’re always juggling, always feeling like you don’t have enough time

• This means you often feel like you can’t make decisions, and even though you’re time-poor you’re frustrated that you might be procrastinating (when it’s more likely that your focus is constantly being pulled in different directions)

• You love your work, but now your life has changed and the work you were doing (or the way in which it’s being done) doesn’t suit you and your family any more

• You're fed up of being overwhelmed, and whilst you love being purposeful you’re done with the cult of busy-ness

• You look at what others are doing and you feel like you’re falling behind, not just with them but with what you’re capable of achieving

• You feel like you have no sense of where your boundaries are around work, home-life, social media…

• You’re nurturing everyone else, but who’s nurturing you!

What do you want to make happen in your precious business (and the other parts of your life), and to how much of this can you relate?

• You have so many ideas, but get stuck in the detail and fantasise about one thing, then another, without taking action on them

• You really don’t mind working hard, when you’re working hard on something you love - but you’ve got too involved in the noise of life to be working with joy.

• You’re ready to take tiny steps every day towards the life you deserve

• You’re open to looking at things in a different way, and to recognising how brilliant you are.

• You’re ready to feel calm, to feel clarity, to communicate with yourself and those around you with confidence

• You’re excited to explore other parts of yourself, and are open to being playful and curious

• You’re motivated but you just don’t know where to begin to make sense of all the information whizzing around your head.

“You have an amazing skill of being able to really listen to what is being said and tease out the key parts, asking questions to help me reflect on what's most important. You also have an amazing ability to help priorities the important stuff and work out a way to balance all the plates that I had spinning so that I felt in control of my life as a whole. Not only that, I came a away with a life that felt more whole because you helped me fit in all the parts of me that I was previously neglecting in the busy-ness of trying to do too much that I didn't really enjoy. I love that you look at individual areas of struggle but also step back and ensure the whole picture works too.”

I’m a multi-hyphenate, multi-passionate, creative woman and I don’t believe that I’ve been put on this earth to unquestioningly follow one path. Rather I know that when I combine areas that I am obsessively interested with, interests that make my heart flutter, work with focus and positive energy and surround myself with a support network I get to live a life that is varied, fulfilling and rich.

At the time of writing this I am working with photographers, fine artists and jewellers, a contracts specialist for SMEs, a bespoke parenting support expert, a doula, singers, astrologers, marketing experts… I am so lucky.

Some of my clients want to change the world. Others their work. Others their hours. Others to escape the living to work, busy=successful myth. What all of them want is to live a positive, impactful life that brings them and those around them great joy. There is no magic formula here - the power lies within you, but my super power is unlocking that within you.

I help people like you get clarity on the work they’re doing, following their interests and exploring if they lead to paid work, building businesses and making time for hobbies and creativity. At a time when everything feels very reactive, living on adrenaline and “do-do-doing” I help you find the answers to the questions you don’t normally give yourself time to explore (there’s more practical examples of this below, if you’re one for facts).

I hate it when people who offer creative mentoring and coaching services try and pad out what they offer with lots of waffle, so here’s what you get if you work with me in this capacity:

I’ve tried lots of different ways of working with people, and my favourite way is quarterly.

We have an initial session to establish what you’d like to achieve during our sessions, to work out what kind of pace fits you (weekly 30 minutes? All good?) Three mega monthly two hours (with contact from me available whenever? Works for me!)

You can get coaching when you need it. In a busy period and want weekly shorter check-ins? I’m up for it. Want to slow down the pace but still get feedback? Works for me.

I know that you want things to be bespoke, so let’s make it bespoke. You can pay in full or via interest free payment plans: it all works for me.
