What do you love most about your job?
Helping business owners, founders and leaders get "unstuck", tame their biggest business dragons, get clarity and focus about their goals and how to get there - and to become the best version of themselves at work and home.
Throughout my entire 30 years in business, I've always loved working with business owners and leaders the most: I can talk to them for HOURS about why they took the career paths they did; where they want to go with their businesses; and what's holding them back.
I love the process of finding creative solutions to business challenges; of taking people on a journey "from x to y by when", and walking by their side as they grow in confidence and skills, with happier and more engaged staff and significantly increased profits.
What inspired you to start your own business?
It's in the genes: I'm a serial entrepreneur, from a family of entrepreneurs and business leaders. Over the generations, we've founded law firms, medical practices, surveying and valuing firms, farms, breweries, consultancy practices, hospitality businesses. I had a couple of side-gig businesses at school and university, and I always knew I would end up being my own boss in the end.
I've been an economic development consultant in a family business, working in the UK and overseas - where I led the foundation of Poland's first small business support centres and advised both the Scottish and Polish governments on inward investment policies.
I've been lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time, and in the right role, to have led some truly transformational projects - both within companies and for whole sectors (and even countries).
Subsequently, I've helped high-net-worth individuals find and restore their perfect period property. I've managed the MBA programmes at one of the UK's leading business schools. I've even led the organisation that helped save our native red squirrel from extinction!
In fact, I've been told that I've worked with so many businesses, in so many sectors, in different consultancy roles that I'm technically unemployable as a CEO or MD in any "normal" business... Which - though hard to hear at the time - has absolutely been my (and your) gain.
I've been trained in coaching techniques, and in the creation and facilitation of mastermind groups by the world's biggest provider of leadership development programmes.
And when I found that their ethos and mine were no longer compatible, I walked away, tore up the rule book, and re-invented the business mastermind and mentoring programme for the 21st century.
Why should our clients choose you?
I love being a game-changer. A fire-starter. A visionary - who can help other leaders unlock their inner awesomeness.
Clients should choose me because I love working with business owners and leaders. Because I know I add real value to a business, as well as delivering a significant ROI. Because I'm humbled that my clients love working with me enough to call me The Leader Whisperer.
And because I've finally admitted to myself that I'm flipping AWESOME at this business development/coaching/mentoring thing ?
And though I'm new to Bark, they can always check out my recommendations on LinkedIn....
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes - I've been working remotely for a couple of years now, and I'm as comfortable doing a 1 hour virtual mentoring session as I am facilitating my exclusive Zoom-based business mastermind groups for business owners and leaders, or delivering online VIP days.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Although I am happy to work with clients on a face-to-face, but socially distanced and masked basis, at this point in time in the pandemic's trajectory, I prefer to work virtually, sweetie...
90 Day Leadership Growth Programme
Carefully designed to take you from where you are now, to where you want to be, each session in this programme focuses on a different aspect of your entrepreneurial journey and business growth pathway.
We'll meet virtually every two weeks for an hour, and our sessions will combine some awesome and very focused learning, that can be practically and immediately applied, together with hands-on, sleeves rolled up, mentoring that will help you maintain momentum and move past the challenges that are holding you and your business back.
Exclusive VIP Deep Dive Days
A one-to-one day or half day session focusing on your choice of the following topics:
🔹 Be, Have, Do: Strategic Goals & Your Pathway to Growth
🔹 Putting your Imposter Syndrome Back in its Box
🔹 Finding your Purple Cow
🔹 Customer Avatars & Compelling Conversations
🔹 Packaging & Pricing
These will be intensive, practical and very hands on sessions. But they'll also be fun - because there's no point doing anything if you're not enjoying it 😃
At the end of the session, you'll probably want to go and lie down in a darkened room with a glass of something...
And whilst your mind may not be blown 🤯, your mindset will be significantly enhanced, and you'll have some concrete action plans to implement over the coming months that will help you drive your business forward.
1-2-1 Mentoring
Now, more than ever, the challenges of being a leader make you feel like you’ve been abandoned in the loneliest place on earth, with no map, compass or guide to get you out of there.
So imagine how you would feel if you could spend quality time each month, in a completely safe space where you can openly and honestly talk about your most pressing business questions and challenges.
You know, the ones that are causing you sleepless nights and holding your business back.
The ones you can’t discuss with your team, your boss, your Board, your bank or your significant other – not because they’re not good people (although they sometimes can be the source of the problem), but because they don’t walk in your shoes.
If this speaks to you, we need to talk.
It's time to work on not in your business and your life
