No client has ever said to me “It’s my budget – it’s keeping me awake at night!”
I guess if I were an accountant this probably would happen quite a lot!
The area I work in, which does lead to sleepless nights and anxiety can be divided into areas and more often than not these two areas overlap …
- People, individual staff members, line managers, certain teams, stakeholders – both internal and external etc.,
- Ourselves, our levels of confidence, our belief in ourselves, our ability to be to ‘step into new ways of being’.
If you are reading this, the chances are that you are already aware that to get different results you need to ‘try on’ / try out new ways of thinking, new beliefs – new ways of being.

My approach to business is practical and down to earth, and I love helping my clients focus on business outcomes, working on what needs to be done on the outside as well as the inner world of a mind-set for success.
