I'm here to shape and share stories. Storytelling is the heart beat of everything I do.
As an actor; I embody the character and lovingly and thoughtfully bring them to life.
As a coach, I have two arms to my work; life and business coaching; although often they overlap. My life coaching work asking the big questions; what do you want from your life going forward and what is your version of success. Which may lead to my business coaching work; once you know what you are building how to then communicate that offering/skill/talent/service/product so they can sell and earn with ease.
I love to help my clients (1:1 or in my paid programmes, workshops or speaking opportunities) to build in a way that aligns with their personality, circumstances, goals, skills and season of life. I am help to hold space for your vision and big juicy dreams (big or small) and support you in the process of questioning (and releasing) any limiting beliefs that are blocking and stopping you.
In my speaking work, I intentionally create a journey. I refuse to be one of those speakers that just talks about themselves(!) This is always about you. I want to support transformation. To activate the parts of you that have perhaps been dormant or forgotten and practically support you as you forge a new path.
As a writer and a creator, I want to bring energy, innovation and fresh ideas without jargon. To meet you where you are at and you what you need; knowledge, encouragement, support, motivation, momentum or a reminder of exactly who you are and your brilliance.
I produced and hosted a podcast (often featured on the top 100 business podcast iTunes chart) releasing over 1000 episodes including 200 interviews. Seeking out or creating places and spaces to share deep conversations is one of my favourite hobbies. I also love to share what I am reading, learning and thinking about so follow along.
Since 2000 (the start of my adult life - but really always) I have been committed to following my own path. I know and understand that, that isn't the easiest most straightforward option.
I am sharing this because I get it. I know you want more (alongside being grateful for what you have); to feel more like you, to start now and not wait and do what you love and create wealth and success in all areas of your life.
I bring my blend of roles to my work; a strategist, a qualified personal performance coach, a trained actor, an eternal optimistic, a truth seeker, a curious creative and a story teller/listener, someone who hears what is aligned for you - I don't have a pre made 'success' template you need to squeeze into.
I also bring 'player two' energy - the term 'role play' can be a bit cringe; so I prefer player two. I can be your accountability partner, your sounding board, 'the other person' - the person you are selling to, pitching to or the audience you want to win over. So many people say; 'I'll do the work when the opportunity comes'; however I work the other way round; I would rather help you accelerate the speed of the opportunity coming in by doing the work now; so you are ready to receive it.
Personalisation is always at the forefront of my work. I don't have any formulas or frameworks that you are required to squeeze yourself into. It is always your design; but I will be there to help you build strong foundations; so you can really see what is possible in this next part of your story.
TV, film, theatre, commercials, radio, collaborations, working with global brands, filming days with The Spice Girls, sold out midnight shows, keynotes, in person workshops, fireside chats, being a host, an interviewer, international online presentations (my record is 58 countries joining), a top 100 iTunes podcaster, near to a million views and I feel I am only just getting started...
all from creating a personal brand...
The people I work with are doing amazing things too...
Founders, creatives, journalists, leaders, stylists, speakers, CEOs, digital experts, healers, teachers, medical professionals. RuIe makers (lawyers) and rule breakers (monetising non traditional careers; curating a portfolio career on their terms) innovators, technology trailblazers, dreamers, foodies, raconteurs, game changers, artists, designers, storytellers, strategists, wellbeing experts, band members who want to become solo artists (aka 9-5ers to want to create their own gig). I am constantly surprised and delighted with the variety of people, I have the honour of working with.
Many of my clients are building multi layered personal brands; so have many roles under their one umbrella.
I became a certified Personal performance coach in 2013 (at The Coaching Academy); specialising in personal branding.
I have BA hons degree from Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts ( I won the Jim Broadbent scholarship) and left 5 months early due to landing two jobs back to back and agent from my West End showcase.
I love that working week is diverse; 1:1 packages, being the founder of the 100 club, online offerings, regular collaborations, workshops and speaking on many high level stages.
And I'm a Mum (I have a son and a daughter), a seeker, a runner, a reader, deep thinker and chatter, a curious questioner, a tea drinker, a cheerleader for your success, a Rightmove obsessive (I often dabble with the idea of whether or not I would be a great estate agent - today the answer is yes...) an cosy enthusiast, a northern tourist who has actually lived in London for 26 years (8 years longer than the North)...
I love building, creating, finding a way. Unlocking potential. Telling stories. Reinvention. Knocking my (and your) socks off. Seeing what's possible.

A highly competent and experience speaker.
Equally comfortable in a scripted key note setting with a strict time frame or an off the cuff chat or candid Q and A
Being in person in a live setting with a lively audience is one of my favourite ways to spend some time; however the pandemic changed requirements and opened up so many other opportunities. It also changed my business. I had my busiest year of speaking all around the world from my desk at home in London. There was such a need for connection; for clarity, for answers, for information.
I am London based but regularly travel nationally and internationally; so just let me know your requirements.
My talks are bespoke (although I have shared a few examples below to draw from).
I would love to be able to give your audience what they need and meet them where they are at, so everything will be tailored.This will all be discussed and confirmed in our first meeting, so I can plan and fully prep.
