How will we help?
Client acquisition training
You’ll soon see that ‘sales’ is nothing more than helping, serving, and supporting people.
Taking a psychological approach, we’ll understand what’s brought your client to where they are now, what they’re looking for, and the opportunities there to support them. Plus, we’ll look at ways to improve your referral and advocacy rates.
Accountability
Accountability is the difference between saying you’ll do something and actually doing it.
Without action, there are no results. It’s why everything you’ll learn is accessible and easy to implement – so there are no excuses.
You’ll set targets, develop a plan, and stick to it.
Extra-revenue opportunities
“Do you know anyone who can help me with…?”
Sound familiar? Your clients rely on you for advice and guidance. You must become their trusted advisor.
You’ll learn how to build a partner network to boost your revenue and give you new opportunities.

Coaching is a journey, not a destination and will equip you with a set of skills that you can carry into the rest of your life. By the end of our time together you will be back in control of your life, know the direction you are going and wake up feeling excited about the new day. You will have your passion back and know what truly drives and motivates you.
Working with me will require you to be;
Ready to be open and honest with yourself
Want to own your story and take charge of your life
Open to new ideas and perspective
Willing to work for the changes you want to make in life
Able to commit your time to regular coaching sessions and work in-between
Understand that I may offer information but never tell you what to do. This is your life, you are in charge of how you live it
What I offer:
An open, non-judgemental, confidential space to examine what has been holding you back
Tools and techniques to discover the real reason nothing else has worked
The neuroscience behind why these work
Absolute belief in you, and that you hold your own answers withing
Accountability
Sessions are client-led, I ask the questions to help you find YOUR answers.
Sessions are usually 60-120 mins, dependant on your preference, although longer 1/2 day and full-day sessions can be arranged with prior discussion. Regular sessions are via Zoom or telephone call or face to face in the Oxfordshire area. We would require 1/2 day and full-day sessions to be face to face but would be happy to travel further for these.

Leadership is a great Responsibility
In a modern-day where remote and agile working is becoming the norm, teams are diverse and rarely on one site all at the same time and with ever demanding pressure to perform, how do you make sure your leaders and your team are performing to the best of their abilities? Fulfillment is becoming a keyword in the workplace and retaining and developing millennials is an increasing concern.
There's an increasing body of evidence showing the impact of performance coaching and team cohesion on a companies output and outcomes. Gimmicks and quirks are nice to have, but it's the connection, vulnerability and an understanding of our core values both individually and as a business, that aligns us and drives our success.
"Leadership is not about being in charge. Leadership is about taking care of those in your charge" - Simon Sinek "
We work with all levels of leadership, particularly new and developing leaders, as well as small to medium (20 people or less) teams, or on a 1:1 basis. Depending on your needs, our programs can be tailored, ranging from a 1-day package to a longer-term agreement.
FIRE WALK
Fire Walk
Curious about fire walking but don't want the pressure of walking for charity?
In need of a recharge, re-set and inner connection ahead of the new year?
Looking for a challenge to re-set your habits, mindset and outlook?
Then a community walk is for you. The evenings include a relaxed, welcoming session to get to know your fellow walkers. We will offer a guided meditation and supportive , empowerment seminar to prepare you for your walk. At the end of the evening you may choose to walk the coals, Cheer on the other walkers or if the time is not right for you, you may choose to watch and cheer instead. Either way we hope to give you new perspective of what is possible and ignite the fire within again.
