When we know the truth and don’t listen…
Love. As you pack up your house to move, and clear all sorts of things that are no longer required for where you’re heading – not just physically but within your very being – you pick up and flick through an old note book. You find notes from sessions with your mentor, dated nearly three years ago. You chose that mentor because she calls you to truth and she’s not cheap. You want to invest at that level because you want to live at that level. You want to pay the big bucks because you care deeply about living your truth and doing whatever it takes. It means that, before each session, you feel nervous and sometimes scared about what might be revealed.

5 things every woman must stop doing in her career

Asking for something you want? What are you prepared to give?
This asking for what you want thing is a big deal. Time and again, women tell me they either don’t ask often enough, or when they do, they don’t even get close to the results they want. That means there are opportunities being wasted. Financial rewards going to someone else. Help not being received. New […]
The art of the ask
A favour. A pay rise. A new project. An opportunity. Want it? Then ask for it. Be bold. I work with a lot of women, and know quite a few more, who don’t ask. They don’t like to. It’s as if they believe that if they ask, they’re being a nuisance, or making life difficult […]
Treading quietly is not the enemy of being a powerful speaker
The path from keeping quiet about what you want to speaking like a powerful woman can be bumpy. Once you realise no-one’s going to just hand you what you want without you asking for it, and you clear away what’s been stopping you from giving yourself permission to speak up, the inclination to turn up the […]
