About me
I have been a Career and Life Design Coach for eighteen years and I love it.
I’ve had the honour of working with people all over the world, helping them to create lives and careers they love, through my coaching programmes, online courses, corporate trainings, membership, books, journals and podcasts.
I’ve coached a long list of clients from Google, Apple and UN Women, to recording artists, best-selling authors, and leaders in the tech, finance, creative and music industries.
My book ‘Burnt Out: the exhausted person’s six-step guide to thriving in a fast-paced world’ was published in April 2021 and has been translated into multiple languages.
I’m host of the Audible Series The Career Change Coach and creator of the Project You journals.
Over the years my work has been featured in the Telegraph, Independent, Sunday Times Style magazine, Red, Psychologies, Stylist, Grazia, Metro, BBC and many more.
For many years I lived with my business in a bag - I travelled the UK for 6 months in a campervan named Beryl, learned to surf in Costa Rica, sailed among the whales and glaciers in southern Chile and road-tripped my way along the Californian coast.
Now I’m enjoying the adventure of creating a life I love, as a working mum, living in South East London with my husband and our 8 year old son.
I am a firm believer that our lives are our greatest creative projects.
That the magic we have as human beings is our ability to dream things up and then, through committed action, turn those dreams into reality.
And that there is no better feeling than realising that you did it. You had the courage to go after your dream and now you are living it.
I’m also a firm believer that we are designed to thrive.
And that if you’re not thriving - if you are feeling burnt out or exhausted most of the time then it is a sign that something is not working, something has to change.
I have lived by this quote since 2007:
"Don't ask what the world needs,
Ask what makes you come alive
And then go and do that,
Because what the world needs
Is people who have come alive"
- Harold Whitman
My journey
It All Began With A "No."
My journey onto the path of living a created life, going after my dreams and helping others to do the same, began the moment I stepped into the world of work. I looked around at my new 9-5 office-job existence and I knew that there was no way I could live like this for the next 40+ years of my life. Having been a good girl my entire life, I was suddenly done with doing what I was told and I said 'No. I’m not doing this. This is not the way I’m going to live and work for the rest of my life’.
I had to find another way.
And so I did.
Now, I love nothing more than showing other people how they can set themselves free from ways of living and working that don’t work for them and choose another way.
And that is what Another Way is all about.
I can’t wait for you to join me on this adventure too!
