a little about Coaching

“Elizabeth has a fascinating energy and ability to lift your thoughts above your business, allowing you to look down with fresh eyes and challenge your mindset. Her innate talent to guide me through the clutter and into the opportunities beyond meant I was given a fresh perspective to grow, develop and love my business on a new level. She’s an utter joy to work with, and she inspires me as much as she guides me.”

Caz Harrison, Making Waves.

 

Whether you’ve been running your own business for a while, or are beginning something new, clarity of vision, congruence of values and the ability to remain authentic whilst stepping into your full potential are vital. But this isn’t always easy to achieve alone.

Even with crystal clarity of vision, making the aspirations you have for your business and your life a reality, can sometimes be challenging.

Particularly for those of us with a creative mindset or who feel there is a depth to their work beyond just bringing home a pay-cheque, so many other factors come into play.

It can be easy to be drawn away from what's truly important, lose your motivation, your mission and your mojo to boot.


I am so glad I decided to approach you to do one on one coaching because you have, very gently, helped me to see that I could do more than I remembered I could.  At that time, I didn’t feel as though I knew how to access my creativity at all and I was scared.  You gave me small tasks and encouraged me forward step by step in a way that I felt able to do. Then, of course, progress fuelled confidence and I started to gain momentum.   I’m now so excited about getting …[my business]… out into the world!  Anyway - the upshot is a great big THANK YOU!   You’ve really made a difference! “

powerful processes to shift what’s holds you back and open up new possibilities

powerful processes to shift what’s holds you back and open up new possibilities

Coaching is an evolving conversation and clients typically begin their coaching journey because they have a desire for one or more of the following:

Setting the foundations for a rebrand - getting real clarity around what you stand for, who your ideal clients are and what lies at the heart of your offering. This is the essential first step before engaging with a designer or copy writer.

Clarifying your website or communications - ensuring that the message you want to project is conveyed with style and grace, aligns with the authentic essence of your brand and the direction you want your work to take.

Creating a new offering - crafting something wonderful from your unique passion and gifts and creating a process and customer experience that adds real value and is a joy to deliver.

Find a way of working on your terms - one that takes into consideration all those things in life that are important to you and enables you to be more creative, have more vitality and enjoy your work more.

Making a transition - whether it is elevating your business and taking it to the next level, moving on from an existing company to a new area of work, leaving employment and venturing out into business for yourself or simplifying your working life to spend more time with family.

Empowering your process - crafting a customer experience and an in-house process that is streamlined, efficient and enables you to work with our ideal clients in a way that is empowering and effective for everyone involved.

Setting clear expectations and managing your challenging relationships. We can easily get into a space where we feel our clients are overstepping boundaries and we struggle to manage expectations or communicate without the fear of conflict. Coaching can help you establish the right boundaries, manage your client relationships and give you the confidence to communicate clearly and effectively to make things work for you and your clients.


“Thank you for last nights session. It’s opened the flood gates of creativity and removed the emotional block that’s led to feeling a little bit out of love with what I have been doing. Knowing things weren’t aligned, but not having found the support I needed to get it all back on track.  I love your approach and am so excited to be doing this work with you.”

Tamsin, Happy Client
