During my process of rediscovery I realised the thing that totally lights me up and is truly my zone of genius is helping my clients showcase theirs.
This is for many reasons, not least because I have a problem with coming out of the shadows myself. I have a really good reason for that and it is because I've talked it through with a coach that I now know why I find it so difficult putting myself front and centre.
My first business was a huge success, I had product in all of the major high street stores and supermarkets, not just in the UK but in the US and Australia. I had become central to the business and most of the PR was centred around me as a mum of three kids under 3 when I set up and how I grew this incredible "thing" with a complete life of it's own. When I lost the business (mainly through naivety) the newspapers went to town on me, not only did I have the dubious honour of being front page news (yeh I know slow news day) but there were also sandwich boards outside the local newsagents carrying my name and headline too).
Deepest joy, since then without realising it, I have firmly been queen of being invisible. That doesn't mean I don't know what to do. Quite the opposite as I did it again for my second business (without me being the story).
I guess in many ways I'm lucky as I'm a natural story teller, and the writing and ideas just flow. I don't use or even have a list of "what to post today" and I don't follow any social media calendars because I just write from the heart and whatever pops into my head at the time (ok admittedly this isn't a great strategy as such but it does mean I'm able to keep things real).
Then I started to use all this knowledge to help others and well the rest is confined to history.
Being business savvy and being visible and knowing what to do and say is a real gift I think and I really do love to use everything I've learned over the past 20 odd years to benefit my clients, it feels like a gift to be able to pass on this experience and knowledge.
There's so many ways I can help and they're all showcased on my website but the best way to start is to book a completely free, no obligation chat so that we can get to grips with how I can best help.
