My entire reason for doing what I do is to help you, as an individual. It’s my mission to see you empowered and thriving in your day to day, and helping others to increase your own impact through your business and beyond.
The men and women I work with both within my communities/memberships and on a 1:1 are all people with a growth mindset, who are motivated, enjoy learning and growing, and place high value on relationships. My communities and clients are all committed to leaving others better than we found them, and see service as a core focus in our personal and professional lives.
Every single one of my memberships and service offerings provides a confidential, safe space to discuss and overcome challenges, and in all of these you’ll find I show up personally to offer my expertise and support, something my clients and members have said they find hugely valuable.
As an award-winning entrepreneur, multi-million-pound business builder, and experienced leader with over 20 years spent growing businesses of my own as well as with and for other people, what I share is from lived experience, not from a textbook! Although I do have two degrees, am a member of the CIPR, and am an ILM- certified Business Coach/Mentor, and a Business Growth Mentor with the Association of Business Mentors. So I’m not averse to putting myself through education to better myself as a professional.
My mission is to help you succeed in business, ensuring you don’t sacrifice your wellbeing or your family life, and empowering you to make a difference in the world through your work.
I am someone who understands the importance of prioritising work, rest, family and play when growing a business, as a mother of two myself who has built multiple businesses whilst raising my young family – and yes, I’ve been there for the school runs, the sports days, Christmas nativities and still built multi-million pound businesses! It’s definitely doable. But it certainly isn’t easy!
I am not someone who’ll baffle you with jargon or make you feel small. I also won’t make promises and drop impressive sounding numbers to convince you I’m your ideal mentor!
However I have helped clients go from no business to valuations of as much as £22m, and everything in between.
I have helped established businesses solve major challenges, (in one particular case, I was brought in as their Head of Marketing and on my first day, an audit of their marketing activities highlighted a major marketing glitch they hadn’t spotted, which it emerged had cost them hundreds of thousands of £s – and I was the first to notice. Fortunately, I found and solved the problem that same day!)
In another scenario, I discovered that my client had been spending thousands a month on a particular platform, as part of an ad campaign running across multiple platforms, but it was achieving absolutely nothing and they had no idea!
Although I am not currently offering to take on any further Fractional CMO/CSO/CRO roles, I am available to support as an advisor, consultant, mentor, coach or non-exec director, depending on the type of role clients are looking for me to take on, and the intensity and frequency of input required (as well as the level of investment they’re willing to make).
I am a “safe person” that clients and members alike come to as a listening ear, a professional and trained sounding board, as well as for strategic input and advice. If you’d like to talk about working with me or joining any of my memberships, don’t hesitate to get in touch and book a call.
Why work with me?
I work under strict NDA’s and in total confidence with all my clients, disclosing only what I am given explicit permission to disclose, where it is appropriate. You won’t ever know who all my clients are for this reason, but that’s why you know you’re in safe hands with me!
I am ICO registered, insured with Professional Indemnity cover, as you should expect of someone advising businesses professionally, and have a current membership of the CIPR whose code of ethics and conduct I also subscribe to.
Beyond my years of business experience, clients especially appreciate and benefit from my expertise as a leader in Marketing and Sales Strategy. Having worked in-house within marketing, PR/Comms and Sales, agency side in marketing and PR, as both a freelance consultant and as an employed director within start-up businesses, I have a broad and deep marketing and sales skillset that has led to me being described as “a unicorn” by one client (because apparently I am a rare and precious creature that isn’t found generally in ‘the world out there’)!
Sometimes clients hire me in a Fractional CMO/CSO capacity, although I’m now fully booked for this work. I can, however, offer up to 8 hours/one day per month for clients seeking regular strategy and planning support for their businesses, or occasional support with exhibitions or events where they need a pro networker by their side to represent their business, subject to availability.
I have specialist knowledge of PR, which includes social media and personal brand strategy, crisis management, CSR, marketing communications strategy and planning, internal and external communications strategy, media relations and more. I’m also an accomplished and experienced public speaker and am often asked to share at conferences and networking events, as well as at online events.
I have appeared on numerous podcasts, and love being able to share as a guest, both as a subject matter expert in relation to business topics including sales/marketing/PR/organic growth strategies/networking/business growth generally, as well as on less business-focused topics such as female empowerment, servant leadership, motherhood, neurodivergence, purpose/identity, personal development. When speaking on-stage I tend to prefer to share with entrepreneurial business leaders, to inspire them and encourage them to dream big, boost their business and increase their impact as leaders of businesses as a force for good in the world.
With experience at Director and C-Suite level across both B2B and B2C businesses, and as a volunteer Chair of Trustees in a charity, I am an experienced leader, but there’s no ego with me. I work with clients who understand that we leave egos at the door when we’re working together, and that honesty and vulnerability in our relationship is the best way to get them the results they desire.
