As a business coach, I work with founders and entrepreneurs to maximise their professional potential. I help people realise that they already own the gold .
I work closely with business professionals to identify their goals, overcome obstacles, and develop strategies for success. The support I can offer is both wide and varied. I cover areas from entrepreneurial mental health and well-being and the development of a personal brand right through to training for fundraising pitches, the art of selling and how to develop key relationships.
MY COACHING METHOD
Through my transformative GOLD Coaching Process, I guide clients towards greater clarity, purpose, and success in both their personal and professional lives
