I’m sorry that I ever lied to you, forgive me, but I was too scared of what you might think of me.
When I very first began coaching, I had the massive misconception that nobody in their right mind would want to work with me If they knew my secret.
You see, when I qualified as a coach, I had finally got my shit together.
I’m confident and full of self-belief, a completely different person from the who I used to be.
I haven’t always been this person you see today.
“Starting a business, OMG are you mad? Why would you give up your great salary and secure job?”
This was the typical response when I told people that I was leaving my job in recruitment to start my own business.
This fear had never even entered my head until everyone else kept banging on about it!
I had been thinking about starting a business for over 4 years and even bored myself with all the talk, I decided that 2013 was my year, I was going to do it regardless of all the negative comments I received!
Overthinking… Gosh, what will they think? Will they think I’m too big for my boots? What will they think of my new hair do? Will they think I’m stupid?
Overthinking about what others think of you can quash your dreams in a nano second, make you feel like 💩 and paralyse you from taking any sort of action.
It’s no wonder so many female entrepreneurs turn to coaching in order to help them eliminate these mindset gremlins once and for all.
I coach so many women who have businesses they love, yet aren’t performing, they want to know what they can change and what they can do to turn their business around. Now, I am no business coach, so I won’t write your strategy for you, in fact most of these women have well throughout out business plans, creative marketing plans and well-established goals.
What they don’t have, is the right mindset or the levels of confidence and self-belief required to make their business a success. This is where I can help them!
Confidence and self-belief, ahh if I could bottle them up and sell them, I would be a very rich woman. Well I can do the next best thing! I can give you a tool kit for life so you can keep developing this much needed skill.
That’s the thing with confidence, it’s self-generated and unfortunately nobody else can give it to you (they can take it away from you if you don’t have the right mindset though)
I have coached so many fantastic women over the years who have worked with me in the hope of becoming more successful at work… Read the rest of this post
Confidence! My number 1 reason – Because I have been where you are right now and, well frankly it stinks!
It pains me to see so many awesome women missing out on life because of this little thing called confidence. My pain magnified because I remember how I felt vividly, not so long ago.
I felt like a bystander of life.
Watching all the cool kids, the confident women smashing their goals and making their dreams reality. No matter what happened to them, whatever life threw at them, their self-confidence was unshakable.
How many times a day does your self-doubt stop you from doing something you really want to?

Impostor syndrome, have you heard about it? Maybe you are one of the estimated 70% of women who are effected by it?
Impostor syndrome is a psychological pattern in which an individual doubts their accomplishments and has a persistent internalized fear of being exposed as a “fraud”.
Sound familiar?

If I could eliminate self-doubt by bottling up confidence and sell it I would be dishing it out during every one of my 121 coaching sessions because every single one of my clients, whatever their reason for working with me, struggle with self-doubt.

How do I overcome my fears? It’s something I am asked as a coach time and time again. Imagine if you were more afraid of what life would be like if you didn’t follow through on something. If you didn’t take action. If you didn’t make your dream a reality?
This mindset is the difference between successful and unsuccessful people. Fear isn’t a bad thing, fear isn’t something that you need to avoid.
Successful people fear missing out, they fear the cost of not doing something. They fear not taking the risk, both in business and their personal life. Successful people are excited by fear, because fear means progress.
