The energetic and impactful coach.
About Me
Coaching is where I am meant to be…
The Early Days: Who am I?
High Achiever: Head Girl, 1st class degree in Marketing, educated at top university.
Confident: School plays, choir concerts, public speaking. I feel different - is that ok?
Adventure and Resilience
Freedom: Camped for 90 days across Europe, travelled East to West Cost USA
Patience and Bravery: Sept 11th made finding a job difficult. I hustled my way to a Marketing role at M&S Money.
Ambition and Flexibility
Top Performer: Promoted often, recognised as one of the top 1,000 performers at Halifax Bank of Scotland.
Curious: Experimented in a number of roles, including new branch openings, internal comms and product marketing. (Do you recognise Howard off the TV ads?)
Belonging and Authenticity
Recognition: Awarded a place at The Marketing Academy for top young marketing talent who have the potential to become C-Suite executives.
1st Coaching Experience: Started to get the bug.
Adaptability, High Adventure and Pain
Fiercely Ambitious: Head of Marketing at Manchester Airport Group at 29 years old. Became CIM Fellow member.
Sadness: Ectopic pregnancy, high stress, traumatic birth.
Gratitude and Experimenting
New Purpose: Motherhood became the making of me, with two under two! Started to take a photo of life everyday (I’m now ten years in and still going!)
Trying Something New: Self-taught family photographer with a client wedding in Italy my absolute highlight. I was featured in Huffington Post for my daily photos.
Reflecting and Innovating
Experimenting: Hybrid working (before it was a thing!) for a not-for-profit organisation interacting with the UN. I made the role work with my children.
Pivoting: Took a shine to company culture and developing people.
Connection and Vulnerability
New World: During Covid, took on Head of Marketing role at an Edtech business and became Managing Director aged 39.
Speaking My Truth: Realigned my life to fully live my purpose and values. Bravely resigned with no job to go to.
Living my absolute best life!
Investing: I have clarity on the life that I want to live. I have completed the Professional Co-active Coach training which is accredited by the International Coach Federation (ICF). I have invested more time in me than I have in my whole life!
Choosing: There are more choices. I am more intentional. I live life on my terms with richness and joy. It is not always easy but it is the best feeling in the world.
What's your joy project?
We all need more joy in our life, that is certain! I use my love of photography (having taken a photo of my life every day for over ten years now) to capture moments, experiences and memories that bring more joy in to my life. It feels priceless.
One of my major joy projects is making my own jewellery. The impact and power of wearing precious gemstones can be huge, if you know how. Go have a nosey over on my Instagram and see what you think.
If you take nothing else away from visiting my website, how can you inject more joy into your life?
