Heathrow on a sunny weekday morning. Flying for fun.

The kind of freedom I once dreamed of. And now have.

Building in more freedom is a common goal for my midlife Executive Coaching clients.
We’ve worked hard for decades.
We will no longer accept waiting for retirement to have freedom

We know how to deliver at a high level.
We also know what it takes.
At this midlife stage, space and choice matter as much as results and reward.

So we design a way to work that gives us our time back.
That lets us live well, so we can lead well.

Feels good. Feels sustainable.

#midlife #leadership #confidence #freedom

We’re halfway through November’s edition of The Confidence Club. Midlife professional women re-igniting their Confidence, together.

This is what transformation looks like.
- Remembering their successes
- Stronger awareness of when hijacked by impostors
- More peace knowing we all experience these dips
- Lots of sharing and cheering

The power of community is undeniable when women support each other through growth.

We go again in January 2026. Join the waitlist to be the first to know. Seats are limited to protect the magic of our small group.

#confidence #midlife

It’s all very well having a formula to keep my confidence topped up. But what happens when something happens and my routine is knocked off? Don’t panic. Don’t grump. Accept a different way is needed for a few days. Listen to your needs and see what can come from doing less not more for a bit. I always find an injury is a sign to slow down. Especially at 51. Plus, eat the chocolate. #confidence #habits

Friday Feels!

My weekly dopamine dose of the good, the victorious and the joyful as an Executive Coach.

What are we celebrating this week? Recognise your efforts. Here’s what I am clapping for my clients in a vague-to-protect-confidentiality summary.

✅ I get it, Governance is an intensely boring word. But if you are attempting to lead an organisation and your leadership team without it you are wasting your time, energy and opportunity.
✅ Get out of the friend zone. You’ve been promoted so stop hovering around your old desk. You are causing confusion. People are waiting for you to lead so step into it.
✅ Make peace with losing what feels like a battle of resistance knowing you are building the right culture to win the war and set your team up for growth.
✅ Procrastination. It’s not laziness. It’s fear or boredom. Once we know that we can hack ways of getting things done and clear our conscious. What sweet relief.
✅ Facilitating a leadership team discussion to eliminate the awkwardness preventing holding each other to account.
✅ Recorded the final episode of series two of our Work Differently Imagined podcast and enjoy recapping the learnings about the skills that will create continued success and happiness in the future of work.

And for me:

✅ Carved out some time to build an AI Operations Director for my Executive Coaching practice. Nerd!

Insight and tips for your leadership as we explore Work Differently Imagined. Wrapped up tidily in 24 minute episodes so you can get informed and get on with your day. Link in bio.

Seriously? As an Executive Coach I teach inclusive leadership and sometimes it’s an exhausting despair to feel like it’s still needed. And then we have this …

Just back from a week at The Body Holiday. Sweaty 7am workouts. A 1km ocean swim that looked intimidating. Did it anyway. Loved it.

Afternoons slowed right down. Yoga. Meditations. Time to think. And sometimes, not think at all.

All capped off with sunset cocktails. Good food. And the midlife prize of deep, uninterrupted sleep.

This is my self-confidence formula. Strength. Movement. Stillness. Nature.

Wild how one holiday ticked every box. Powering me up to finish 2025 in confident style.

Registrations for Confidence Club close at 7pm tonight. We start Friday.
If this has been sitting open in your browser tab, now is the time to decide.
Confidence Club is a four-week coaching group for experienced women who want to finish the year with more confidence, clarity and control.
You’ll get: ✔️ One live session each Friday at 10am ✔️ A small group of no more than eight ✔️ Tools to manage spirals, lead difficult conversations, and make decisions with less doubt ✔️ A coach who respects your experience and helps you think clearly ✔️ A workbook to keep momentum between sessions
You’ll get the structure to think clearly. Tools that shift things quickly. A space to step back, regain control, and move through the rest of the year with more confidence.
If nothing changes, you’ll keep pushing through on your own. Has that been working?
£475. Link in bio or DM me. We close at 7pm.

“I just want to make it to the Christmas holidays and then I will start my new habits”. Sound familiar?

If you’ve been thinking “I’ll start fresh in January,” you’re not alone.

I used to limp towards the end of the year hoping merely to survive the final gauntlet of intense results chasing, strategic planning and party season.  The next eight weeks are a lot:

End-of-year target intensity. Strategic planning where presence, clarity, and boldness matter. Navigating vital yet awkward performance reviews.
Oh and party season with more glitter and less rest
And outside of work? The mental load ramps up with family obligations and the expectation for everything to be jolly.

All of this while already running on low reserves and hoping the break will somehow reset everything.

I’m not being dramatic. These are our everyday professional and personal responsibilities and they require our best. What if you chose to go in more empowered and energised?

Confidence Club gives you the structure, tools, and clarity to move through all of it differently. The doors to The Confidence Club slam shut at 7pm Wednesday. And they won’t open again until 2026.

If you’ve been mulling it over, this is the last chance to work on your confidence in 2025.

Four weeks. One hour a week. Real support. Tangible shifts. A group of sharp, thoughtful women who want to finish the year feeling like themselves again.

Here’s what you get: ✔️ Four live coaching sessions (Fridays at 10am UK) ✔️ A small group (max 8) so you’re heard, not lost ✔️ A workbook to build momentum between sessions ✔️ Tools that shift things fast ✔️ Coaching that respects you and your experience
 Full price: £475 We start Friday 7 November at 10am.

Plucking up the courage to do a 1km ocean swim. Definitely feeling unconfident. I have done 1500m swims before but in lakes or a pool. Ocean waves and current makes it so much harder. All the people I swam with were so fast. Amazing swimmers. To regain my confidence I had to swim my own swim. Remind myself I’d done the distance and knew how to cope. Just. Keep. Swimming. I did it! Felt so proud of myself.

You invest in others. You make sure people have what they need to grow. You pick up the slack. Spot problems before they surface. You protect time and energy for everyone else.
When it comes to your own development, you wait. You hesitate. You tell yourself you can do without.
You hold back when the focus is you. You’ve made it normal to come last.
Confidence Club is a decision to change that.
It’s four weeks of live, structured coaching.
Here’s what you get: ✔️ One live session each week on Fridays at 10am ✔️ A small group (no more than eight) ✔️ A framework to rebuild confidence in how you think, lead and show up ✔️ Coaching that helps you take action, not just talk ✔️ Tools you’ll use that day ✔️ A workbook to keep progress moving between sessions

You bring real work scenarios. Your pride in your high performance. The exhaustion and the effort just to keep everything together. The pressure you’re under. The second-guessing, the people pleasing, the perfectionism …
 We share tools to help you work out a confident way of working that suits you in midlife and honours your high performance.

We start Friday. Registrations close Wednesday at 7pm. Price: £475.
If you’re ready, send me a message. I’ll send the link.

👻 Monsters, ghouls and imposters 🎃

Happy Halloween everyone.

Feel like we are being menaced? It’s not Halloween. It’s our imposters, saboteurs, inner critics. Giving us a fright with their clammy fingers grabbing our shoulders and whispering in our ears “you’re not good enough”. Going bump in the night inside our heads with racing worries about needing to ensure everything is going to run perfectly. Spreading social media comparison slime all over our self-esteem.

Be gone ghouls!

Yes, you guessed it. Imposter management is big part of The Confidence Club. We all experience them and therefore there are some tried and tested techniques I can share about how to manage them. Bring them out into the light and cast a shush-spell to override them.

It’s not a trick, treat yourself to The Confidence Club

I created Confidence Club because I know what happens when confidence slips.

In my first career on the outside I was flying. Driving big projects, managing big budgets, trusted as a senior leader. However, inside, I was burning out and quietly unravelling.
 But inside, I was burning out. Quietly unravelling. I didn’t recognise myself. And my confidence had slipped so far, I didn’t know how to get it back.
The end of that chapter was messy. Awkward, sad, confusing.
 Which was a shock, because up until then it had been adventurous, rocket-fuelled, and full of joy.

Eventually, I got the space and support I needed to pause. To remember what made me brilliant. And to design something better for my midlife.

That’s why I created Confidence Club. So high-performing women stop relying on hope that things will get better. Spoiler: it doesn’t unless you decide to take control.

It’s a four-week small group coaching experience for high-performing women who want to reset their confidence, lead with pride and presence again, and stop putting themselves last.

What’s included:
✔️ Four live coaching sessions (Fridays at 10am UK) ✔️ A small group (max 8) — everyone gets to be heard ✔️ A workbook to build momentum between sessions ✔️ Tools you’ll actually use that week ✔️ Coaching that respects your experience and moves you forward

We start Friday 7 November. Registrations close on 5 November. Early bird price is £400 and there are just 2 seats left at that rate.

It’s Saturday Night.

Strictly’s on. Bra’s off. You’ve finally sat down on the sofa.
 And here it comes. That quiet feeling that something’s just... off.

You’ve kept it together all week. Meetings, decisions, the group chat, the shopping list, everyone else’s needs. You smiled through it, got it all done.
Now you finally have some peace. And suddenly it hits. That low-level flatness. Just... not quite you. Like your confidence spark feels a bit dim, and you can’t quite name why. But you know you’ve been doubting yourself more and more lately, and it’s starting to wear you down.

If that’s you, I’m running a free live workshop next Thursday evening, 23 October.

It’s for women in midlife who feel a bit stuck, especially the ones who are brilliant at showing up for everyone else but feel quietly disconnected from their own needs.

We’ll talk honestly about what happens when confidence drains and how to start getting it back.

Hey ladies ... confidence a bit wobbly?

Confidence wobbles don’t fix themselves.

If you’re quietly spiralling in overwork, second-guessing, or feeling ‘I can’t keep doing this’ then I’ve got something that will help.

I’m running a free 60-minute workshop on Thursday 23rd October at 7pm UK for high-achieving women in leadership who are giving their all, but not feeling like it’s working. Or worth it.

We’ll cover:

- What’s draining your confidence right now
- What needs to shift so you can feel more in charge again
- Simple tools you can use straight away to power up your confidence

This is a real coaching session with practical exercises. Not a webinar. You’ll see how I coach, what actually shifts when you stop trying to do it all alone. It can help you decide if The Confidence Club is right for you. We start in November.

This free session is your chance to experience it first.

Register now. Link in bio.

I’ll start to feel more confident once I build the perfect plan. Yeah? How are you getting on with that? The cautionary tale of the Perfection Trap or how to stop over-thinking and delaying and start taking baby steps and feel like a Queen in the process.

Any lasting change starts with a powerful reason.

Let’s have a cold, hard look at what is at risk if you do nothing.

Reflect today on why does this matter to you? What’s your reason for wanting your confidence back?

Not a polished answer. The real one. The messy one. The honest one. The secret, shameful one. Find that and your change is underway. And if this feels hard for you, what will it mean for others who love you?

… when your energy is drained confidence starts to wobble.

What drains our energy as high performing leaders? The constant meetings, whiplash from constant change, holding it all together for everyone else … I’m sure you can add a few more here.

What is the impact of this drain? You doubt decisions. You stay quiet in rooms you used to own. You say yes to be liked. You are drawn back into more junior roles because that feels good and safe.

This #confidence dip is absolutely not about ability. It’s about capacity. Want to learn more? Maybe The Confidence Club is for you. Link in bio.

Midlife brain fog distractions affecting your productivity? Here’s something my clients and I have been working on this week? #executivecoach #midlife #productivity #perimenopause

Meaning matters in our work.

When I experienced burnout in my first career in data science I didn’t spot that a key ingredient was missing for me. Meaning.

I spent years working hard for a mission, with an epic tribe of talented people who lifted me up for a goal we all believed in. I loved it!

I could build things from nothing, invent the solutions, work the hours, have the tough conversations, get things done. But when the organisation’s meaning became fuzzy and leadership changed tone I disengaged. I was still present and serving, but the fire had gone out. I was running on empty and heading for a crash.

Meaning matters, pay attention to it. We explore this more deeply in this week’s Work Differently Imagined podcast with Clare Russell and special guest Angela Rixon from @mywisdomcareer and author of Meaning Over Purpose.

Angela’s research dives deep into what truly motivates people and uncovers how leaders can harness meaning as a strategic lever.

In this episode you’ll discover:

🧩 Why meaning and purpose are not the same
🧩 How to lead teams where everyone feels their work matters
🧩 Why meaning will be even more critical to lead well in 2030 and beyond

This conversation is bold, honest, and packed with insight you won’t hear in most leadership playbooks.

Work life balance. It’s not a myth.

Join me as I take a break from my normal desk in London and coach remotely from Devon for a week. Filling my cup with misty walks, sea swims, log fires, yoga and lots and lots of good conversations. So what if the WiFi only worked in the entrance hall 😳.

Work can be how you want it. If you know what you need and build the confidence to ask and make it happen. #confidence #coach

Being nice will make you likeable. Unfortunately it can make you overlooked.

You’re great with people and selflessly keep things running. 
That’s lovely. However, if you have potential for more, your niceness might be inadvertently blocking you.

⬆️Nice doesn’t get you promoted. 👂Nice doesn’t get you invited into the big conversations 💰Nice doesn’t get you a fair piece of the pay rise pot

Ouch. It’s nice to be nice, but that’s not what we need from leaders.

Leadership isn’t about being liked, it’s about being confident to be clear, consistent and trusted to make the tough calls in a fair way for the right reasons.

And of course, don’t forget to be confidently kind, compassionate and human.

Where are you being too nice?

51 today.

I feel a deep, contented self-confidence at age 51 having done the work to know more about myself, what makes me happy and fulfilled, and using my habits to get me to that place and keep me there.

Here is what I am reflecting on today.

🩷 Health is wealth. I’m now lightly designing how I want to be and feel at 60 and 70. A peaceful, vibrant longevity is the goal.
🧠 Work must have meaning. If I’m going to give something my best it has to be on the right topic with the right people.
👨‍👩‍👧‍👧 Time with parents is precious
🌞 Friends are the sunshine of life
😎 I care less about what people think of me
⛔ No is a complete sentence.
🍁 Joy is found in the simple things. Nature, seasons, books.
✈️ I want more experiences; I need less stuff.
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Any soup is good soup

I hear this a lot in the intro calls I do with clients on confidence coaching:

“I am successful but everything just feels like really hard work and I’ve lost a bit of what made me brilliant. “

Most of the midlife leaders I coach are brilliant at what they do. But they come to me feeling stuck, exhausted, bruised and feeling like they’ve lost a bit of their spark.

They’re still performing. Still delivering. But inside, it feels harder than it should be.

Confidence is usually a key missing piece.

And commonly it’s because we don’t have habits that sustain our confidence.

That’s right, in midlife we can’t just rely on natural resources of confidence.
We’ve been adulting for too long and our confidence is dimmed by the toll of decades of hard work navigating tough targets, toxic cultures and change. Lots of change.

There is good news; there are simple practices to rebuild and sustain our confidence. It takes intention and commitment, but it works.

And when we make that commitment, we stop overthinking , we prioritise, we say no, we protect our energy, we enjoy our work and we inspire others.

Commit to your confidence and it will commit to you.

You don’t have to be confident to do Parkrun.

I’m more confident because I do Parkrun.

My 120th run, and my last as a 50 year old.

This means that 120 times on a Saturday morning I’ve got out of bed and done a tiny epic act that celebrates life.

Our confidence is the result of the actions we take.

An Executive Coach versus the monkey mind. Despite best intentions sometimes you gotta let the monkey mind run wild to burn off steam and get out stuff it clearly wants to be done. Now I’ve cleared out this energy I can settle into deeper focus.

Defeat the Sunday Scaries with this simple approach: look back to look forward.

Rather than letting doom rule your thoughts, take charge and look back at your weekend or previous week. Note done what you achieved, what went well, what you are grateful to have in your life.

Neuroscience tells us that if we feed our brain with evidence of good then it strengthens the resilient, problem-solving, can do, put things into perspective. From this stronger, more possible state now is the time to look ahead at your week and start to process, prioritise and solve it.

What’s it like to be in one of my Group Coaching Sessions on Confidence?

The pictures tell the story and if you want some words, how about this. It’s time all about you, joining other people sharing deeply and honestly about how they are and what they want. Together we offer, support, guidance and just the right amount of challenge to get you moving. You get clarity, practical tools and a lot of cheerleading. You leave feeling clearer about what makes you great and what you want and, plus more confident in your ability to go and get it. Great!

Want to know how an Executive Coach keeps their skills sharp?

📚Dedicate time to reconnect with the basics. Do the simple stuff really well.

🤓Learn new stuff. Like this Team Coaching Fundamentals course in Organization and Relationship Systems Coaching. Complicated name, complicated topic, simple frameworks to make it engaging and effective

👂Regular time with a rockstar seasoned trusted coach to discuss your practice and review your coaching sessions. We call this supervision and it’s incredibly insightful and useful to assess my practice.

👩‍🎓Train other coaches. Teach the practice to help others build their confidence and capability. Side benefit a) feeling epic about giving back and b) getting a reminder of the huge number of tools in my toolkit

🗣️Connect, connect, connect. Never be lonely. Meet up with other coaches to talk about coaching and running a business and get your energy boosted. Feels good.

🏋️‍♀️Be consistent with my mental and physical health to walk my talk on habits that support confidence and happiness.

If it feels like time for you to begin working with a coach then the link is in my bio.

Off to a meeting, happy as a clam. Suddenly, in the clammy grip of a ghoulish imposter who had climbed out of some internal drain to ruin my day with a painful memory of messing up. You’re not good enough. Yikes!

Unwelcome? Yes. Unhelpful? Mostly but as our imposters are part of us there is some clumsy message in there somewhere.

Luckily I was going to meet with some fellow coaches and they gave me a wee bit of help to unpack. My conclusion: all the fuss basically was a reaction to me stepping out of my comfort zone and my imposter trying dissuade me from stretching in order to keep me safe. As a well-trained coach I know that my imposters are not in charge and I can decide to keep going if I please, aware that I might need to be a bit gentler on myself as I get uncomfortable.

Get out and move. Get natural light. Even if it’s cloudy. Sun is obviously a bonus. Get the tunes on. Take an audiobook. Or a podcast. Or simply take your messy mind for a walk. Unjumble, sort and prioritise. Get set for a happier, more effective day. 20 minutes is all you need. 10 will do.

Imposters? They love to tell us urgent stories about how we should be. This Executive Coach is happy to accept that perfect isn’t real.

Woah! I’m way overdue to introduce myself to new friends and let everyone know the 2025 version of what I do.

WHO I WORK WITH
I coach leaders in midlife who want their career and life to feel exciting again, not exhausting. I’m the coach that gets recommended when leaders say ‘I feel stuck, burnt out, overlooked and frustrated and I am over it.’

WHY ME?
I’ve walked the same path. I spent 20 years in leadership roles in data science, mostly as Operations Director or Chief of Staff. I led in big, global teams, lived and worked overseas, launched businesses, surfed rapid growth and downsizing and had the time of my life.

I was all in and never paused to listen to the little but persistent warning signs that I was heading for a crash. After years of intense roles I burnt out and this had a catastrophic effect on my confidence and health. I wanted to walk away from my career and that was terrifying as it was the only thing I knew how to do.

This story has a happy ending as I accepted help to rebuild my confidence, reconnect with what I really loved and was great at and used this energy and focus to pivot my career and wellness.
