Reset & Rise - for women rethinking success, work and what comes next

Reset & Rise is for women who are ready to stop circling the same questions and start making clear, confident decisions about what comes next. It explores the realities of modern women’s ambition - the success, the exhaustion, and the quiet sense that something needs to change. It blends real client insight with practical and tactical support to help you reconnect to yourself and rethink your career. Trust me, you don't have to burn the whole thing down in the process.

Why applying for everything usually gets you nothing

Every so often someone mentions, slightly sheepishly, that she's been keeping a spreadsheet. It has the company, the role, the date she applied and a column for what happened next, which is almost entirely empty. She's usually applied for a lot of jobs by this point, and they're not all the same...

Looking at job boards at 1am?

There's a moment in most of my clarity calls when the woman on the other side of the screen goes quiet, and after enough years of doing this I've learned to leave the silence alone. It never comes at the start. Quite the opposite, in the beginning she can usually tell me exactly what's wrong...

Are you complicit in the conditions you complain about?

An 8am coaching session this week turned into one of those conversations I knew I had to share with you. It wasn't meant to be that session. We'd rescheduled a few times - life got in the way, as it does - and by the time we finally met, something had shifted for my client. In the weeks betw...

Why do we shrink when we talk about money?

I can't believe I haven't written about this yet. Money is one of my favourite subjects - and one of the most revealing. In my recruitment career, I talked about salary every single day for over twenty years. I'd go back to clients on behalf of candidates without hesitation - even when the ca...

YOU HAVE NOT GOT A CONFIDENCE ISSUE!

I'm thinking about getting T-shirts printed. On the front: You have not got a self-confidence issue. On the back: Let’s figure out what’s actually going on. Before I completely offend you - I’m not dismissing how you feel. Confidence does take a battering. Sometimes we do lose sight of ...

THE HIDDEN COST OF WAITING TO BE NOTICED

I hosted another Taking Control of Your Career webinar this week. And honestly? Those evenings are one of my favourite things. I love 1:1 coaching. But something different happens when a group of women - usually complete strangers - get into a virtual room together and start telling the truth. Th...

Staying Staying Invisible Feels Safe - Until It Costs You Your Career

Staying invisible feels safe. Until it costs you the career, impact and life you were capable of building. Ok, so let me ask you something. How many times have you told yourself: ‘I’ll speak up when I’m more confident.’ ‘I’ll put myself forward when I’m more qualified.’ ‘I’ll share my ideas whe...

Why successful women still feel stuck

The thing keeping women stuck is not failure- it’s success that came at a cost. And I think that’s one of the most confusing experiences a woman can have. Why? Because when your life looks successful on paper…when you’ve achieved the things you were taught to want…when people around you tell you ...

Confidence returns when clarity returns Confidence returns when clarity returns

You DO NOT have a confidence problem If I had a £ for every time a woman started working with me believing she lacked confidence, I would be a very unhappy millionaire. Which sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it? Unhappy millionaire. But the reason I’d be unhappy is because if women never reali...

You're not waiting to be read. You're waiting to be noticed.

Let me ask you something uncomfortable. Are you secretly waiting for the tap on the shoulder from your boss to tell you ‘You’re ready’ and silently praying that all your hard work will be noticed? It happens more often than you think. Let’s get back to basics and define what’s really going on h...
