COURSE TRAILER


does this sound like you?
You know there is more for you in this life - more career success, more confidence, more fun to be had, and more balance.
- You hate seeing mediocre people promoted ahead of you when you know you could do that job or manage that project brilliantly.
- Imposter syndrome sneaks in occasionally and makes you doubt yourself.
- Your confidence wobbles when you have to give a speech or present to your colleagues / boss.
- Your work meetings are scheduled ahead of your self-care or hobbies and sometimes even your family.
- You wonder what your purpose is and if you'll ever find it.
- You're wonderful at saying "Thanks, but it was a team effort" but rarely big-up yourself.
- You want to ask to lead a project or for a promotion, but you don't know how.
- You are exhausted when you get home from work and have no energy left to give to the people you love.
- When your child is sick or has an appointment, everyone assumes you're the one who will drop work and come running.
- You've forgotten who you used to be before you became everything to everybody else!
Let me introduce you to my 'BOLD + BALANCED' course.
Over the past 22 years, I've delivered women-centred programmes for the world's biggest brands such as Tesco, Mars, Dell and Citi Bank. I have helped thousands of women achieve more.
What you'll get from this course:
- Greater business acumen and tools to challenge unconscious bias
- Unshakable confidence & less imposter syndrome
- A bigger network of useful contacts
- A more positive mindset and vastly more resilience
- A stronger voice and greater presence
- More work life balance and improved mental and physical wellbeing
- Stronger relationships and parenting arrangements (because you just can't separate your work and your home life.)
