Bio:
Being in business doing what you’re passionate about can be exhilarating yet challenging. As a business owner, you’ve got a lot of plates to spin, and it can all feel like a big ball of spaghetti in your head. As a business mentor, coach and sounding board I help you to untangle that spaghetti and figure out where you want to be and how you’re going to get there.
When it comes to finding the right mentor for you, you want someone with the qualifications and professional experience to help you with your challenges. But on top of that, you also need a business mentor who understands you and what you’re going through. As someone who left a 30 year career in financial services to pursue my dream of running my own consultancy, I know how it feels to start, grow and run a business.
Before making the leap to do my own thing, I worked across a whole host of departments like marketing, product development, research, and strategic planning. I know how all of these areas overlap to create the bigger picture, and I help the people I mentor by bringing that big picture perspective before we chart the details of the next step.
So far I’ve worked with over 60 clients, with businesses of all shapes and sizes, and I’ve loved using my experience of overcoming barriers in business to help passionate people piece together their roadmap to success.
I’m also fascinated by mindsets, how they work, and how they affect us in business. It’s something I’ve come across in all of my studies and qualifications. All the way from the Degree in Psychology and Masters in Business Administration, right up to my ILM7 in Business Mentoring and Executive coaching.
But I don’t use what I’ve learnt to impose a single, off-the-shelf answer to your problems. I’m your sounding board, there to guide you towards the solutions that fit you and your business.
Qualifications:
ILM7 Certificate for Executive & Senior Level Coaches & Mentors; Masters Buisness Administration; MA (hons) Psychology
