I am a gentle but powerful professional life and executive coach who specialises in working with amazing women who secretly struggle with impostor syndrome - those feelings that you are a 'fraud' in your career, that you will get 'found out' and the belief that you are not good enough to be in the position you are in.

Lindsey is an amazing coach. Kind, understanding and full of great ideas. I am so glad I found her. I was lacking in direction as to how to push my business forward and get the balance right in my personal life. Lindsey helped me to work through which way to progress, guided me to set goals (for which she held me accountable) and helped me to review business progress and keep moving forward.We have reached the end of our sessions and I am now very clear on my business direction, I feel confident to move forward AND business is booming! I am fully booked until the end of the year and looking forward to a very successful 2019! Thank you Lindsey, you're the best! More...

I've been working with Lindsey for a while now, and known her for longer; and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to improve their confidence, communication or management skills. She's a pleasure to work with, absolutely knows her stuff and has been really helpful to me in improving myself. More...

What do you love most about your job?
Being part of amazing individual's confidence building journeys and seeing their transformation.
I passionately believe that you have unlimited potential for change and with the right strategies, you can align your inner and outer worlds to live a full and harmonious life. I work with you to understand more about yourself, gently holding up the mirror in a safe space for you to explore things you may not have previously considered, and then, using this new self awareness, develop strategies to help you show up in a way you have never felt possible previously - standing tall in your own awesomeness and uniqueness!
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have always been interested in people: What makes us tick? Why are some people more happy and confident than others? Why do we sometimes have motivation to follow our dreams, and other times we prefer to keep to the status quo? I was attracted to coaching because it is forward looking - it is accepting where you are, deciding where you want to be, and planning how to get there. I love a good strategy and felt a lot of what I did intuitively in life was aligned to coaching practices. So I embarked on my own journey to become a coach, spending years training and gaining qualifications in advanced life skills, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), Everything DiSC® (a psychometric tool), group coaching and facilitation, relaxation practices and executive coaching and mentoring - all of which have enhanced my own self awareness and ability to ‘experiment’ with my behaviours to create effective strategies to improve my own performance - ultimately becoming the ‘best version’ of myself and feeling genuinely comfortable in my own skin by appreciating my natural abilities and strengthening these. Being the real me takes less energy, gives great results and people easily can get a sense of who I am and what I am about.
Learning to accept myself for who I am - my perceived warts and all - has lead to increased emotional freedom. Knowing what I bring to the party, and knowing where I want to develop have all strengthened my sense of self. So now, I can really show up. As me. No apologies, no trying to fit a mould, no worrying I will get ‘found out’.
And I want to share this with you - to help you feel genuinely confident in your uniqueness, to see yourself as others do, to truly harness your natural skills to excel in the career you love, to wake up (after having a good night of restful sleep) knowing your worth and the value you are bringing to the table, to show up in all your wonderful glory!
Why should our clients choose you?
I love working with successful, talented women. I have faith in you and your potential. I only work with a limited number of professionals at any one time and am 100% committed to you. I believe you can achieve a deeper level of self awareness that will propel you to even greater career success in the future.
I have over 6 years of professional coaching experience and am committed to my own continuous professional and personal development. I know of the struggles you are experiencing and can help guide you through your own journey, but I will never take away from you that this is your journey - you are the expert in your life, I am the expert in coaching.
You need to feel comfortable and happy with whoever you decide to be your coach - this is an important step in your personal development and you need to be totally sure you have the right person to support you during this time. If you are considering me as your coach, schedule a discovery call so we can chat through your current situation, expectations of coaching, and this programme in more detail, and you can decide if I am the right coach for you at this point in your life.
