business coaching for female entrepreneurs

With so much change and uncertainty in life and business, particularly over the past few years, I’ve been thinking about how to develop more resilience within myself and my business. Being resilient is essential to help us thrive in dynamic and competitive environments. It’s about facing challenges and difficult situations, learning from them, and emerging stronger and more capable as a result. We can take practical actions in our day-to-day work, but we also need to develop emotional resilience to manage stress and cope with setbacks. “Everyone[...]

In the early years of my business, I had to get out and about, arrange meetings and network to find clients, as there was no social media and even the internet was unpredictable!   It worked very well for me, however …   Since then, advances in technology, digital marketing and social media have to a greater extent taken over and although I enjoy the creative content, I do feel the process of running a business has become more complicated and overwhelming.   So, I’ve decided to simplify everything!   Simplifying busi[...]

Have you read Gay Hendrick’s book The Big Leap?   Gay writes about the Upper Limit Problem, a negative emotional reaction or a form of self-sabotage, that can occur when we start to achieve success beyond what we’re accustomed to.   It’s usually based on perception, beliefs, and past experiences.   Recognizing and overcoming any self-imposed limits (many of us have them), is essential if we want to achieve and sustain success.   As it’s now September, with a sense of renewed energy, I'm challenging any doubt and[...]

When chatting with fellow entrepreneurs, the biggest thing I’m hearing is that most are struggling with the amount of content required to market their small business these days.   The overwhelm is real!   I wanted to let you in on a little secret that’s going to help you save tons of time, create content with ease, and stress less! It’s a visual content library that has thousands of stock photos, videos, Canva templates and more.   It’s called Haute Stock — the original stock photo & video membership for women entrepr[...]

Although much has been written about the importance of high vibrations for positive outcomes, it’s not always easy to stay positive when faced with the real-life challenges of day-to-day living.   So, as I was feeling low in energy and motivation recently, I decided to prioritise my emotional and mental wellbeing for the month, and reflect on what works to lift my mood and emotions.   Taking the focus off work for a few weeks has shown me that business isn’t about ‘doing’ more but about ‘being’ more.   We are here to le[...]

Do you find yourself avoiding tasks or situations that you know you need to face?     Many years ago, I avoided dealing with a website issue. It felt too difficult and a lot of effort to sort out, plus I didn’t know where to get help.     So, I didn’t do anything for months and months and months.     What a waste of time!     It held me back from developing my business, until finally, I found someone who had the technical knowledge, and then …. it wasn’t as overwhelming as I had[...]

“I have to be seen to be believed” is a quote attributed to Queen Elizabeth II, and yet it’s also very relevant for small business owners.   Because one of the most successful ways to market our services, attract an audience and earn more money is to be more visible.   A few years ago, I was approached by an international organisation to work with them, following a presentation I gave at a Women in Engineering conference.   This would never have happened if I’d stayed behind the scenes.   However, I know it can f[...]

  Some years ago, I took a big leap and invested a lot of money hiring my own Business Coach.   I knew intuitively I needed an elevated level of personal support, as I'd reached a point where I just couldn’t figure it out all on my own.   Fortunately, working together made a significant difference and that was the year my business transformed!   If you're at the next stage of business growth, working with a Business Coach, one to one, or in a small group, has several benefits.   Here are just a few…  [...]
