Confidence

What are you already good at? How do you get better at the things that you feel inadequate in and what is stopping you? 

“Man often becomes what he believes himself to be” so says Ghandi, and this is something it took me a while to realise; you are most likely to receive what you believe you deserve. So how do you learn to value yourself? How do you change the story in your head so you manifest love, kindness in abundance, because that is what you truly deserve? Contrary to belief, confidence can be learned. It just takes a little practise!

Happiness & Fulfilment

This is the ultimate objective, right? Happier people have better relationships, live longer and earn more money. So how do we attain that calm sense of well-being so that whatever life throws at us, we remain positive? Having had my fair share of ups and downs over the years, I now have ‘tried-and-tested’ ways to give yourself the best chance of happiness. 

Public Speaking

Imagine choosing your A-Level subjects based on how little you could get away with speaking in class. Imagine finding a way to get out of every single university presentation. Imagine almost being let go from a company for being unable to contribute more in group discussions…. well, that was me.

But fast forward 5 years, and two (critically acclaimed, ahem) Best Man speeches later (not to mention hosting a regular live music night at various venues in London)… I was able to overcome it. And I can show you how!

Developing Positive Habits

How often do you hear that negative voice in your head? I was always my own harshest critic but, thankfully, NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programmimg) practices helped me to get it under control. Would you speak out loud to someone you care about with the same inner voice that you use to berate yourself? Techniques to reduce anxiety and affirm positive thinking can make a huge difference to your approach to daily life.

Relationships

Personal relationships, or difficult work ones - generally it’s all to do with communication, and generally there’s a solution for all of them - even though that may seem unlikely at the time. Learn the signs of an unhealthy relationship, and what to do if you find yourself in one. Liberate yourself from your negative beliefs around love, so you can openly give and receive love in a healthy relationship. Most of the time we look back and see the answer was staring you in the face - let me help you get the quicker! 

Health & Wellbeing

“Healthy body, healthy mind!” We all know this, but do you need help structuring a plan to get you exercising or eating healthily more. I know I did! I’m lucky that I’ve always enjoyed playing football, but finding the motivation to go on a run, or to the gym, was as much as a struggle for me as it is for anyone!

Body Language

I always had my hands in my pocket. I needed to sort it out. 

Clarity & Direction

Like most people, I’ve had times where I’ve had to question what I’m doing with my life. In fact, a lot of my 20’s were spent doing just that. Let’s explore where you are at, and put a plan in place so you’re not dawdling for too long like I was…

Career

I’ve had a very varied working life so far, from finance jobs in the City to design jobs in the arts. I have also set up two successful businesses with another on the way!

I’ve also, at times, questioned my career direction and whether I should be getting more out of my job. It’s very common to question, but not everyone looks for an answer… make sure that’s not you!

Conforming

When you think about it, much of our lives are spent conforming in one way or another. Most jobs are spent conforming to someone else’s idea of how our day-to-day life should be structured. 

I feel I did far too much of this early in my career. It’s very easy to follow the path you’re expected to take; it’s much harder to take stock and really ask yourself ‘is this what I really want?’ Instead we go through the motions - making do - until, sadly for some, you’re soon to retire and realise it’s too late. Let’s make sure that’s not the case for you… 

Communication Skills

I was a shy kid. A very shy kid. And this continued into my early career. I didn’t really find my voice at work until my late 20s, which means there was a LOT of keeping my head down in meetings and feeling like I wasn’t doing myself justice. In relationships, I would often just go with the flow, irrespective of whether I was happy or not. 

The first step is interpreting your own thoughts and feelings - only then can you communicate what you really mean, and ask for what you need. How would it feel to ask for what you actually need, in a way that can be heard and understood and without fear of being judged.

Overcoming Procrastination

Oh boy, don’t even get me started… Let me help you put a structure in place that I used to overcome one of the most frustrating habits.
