Strategy that drives your success
How does strategy help?
The simple answer: being clear on your priorities and how you’re going to achieve your goals is critical for your business’ survival as well as for your sanity.
From basic sales and marketing strategy, through to very specific strategic input such as developing PR, Internal Comms, CSR, Customer Success, Digital Marketing strategies and plans… getting clarity will help you increase efficiency and drive positive action to achieve whatever your goals may be.
Working together, we’ll focus on strategic planning that’s aligned with your values and goals for lasting success. Ready to see your business grow or create order, sanity, that enables you to enjoy your life and your business? Let’s meet and discuss how I can help.

A note on working together
You don’t have to do this alone.
Relying purely on AI or advice from people you don’t know or trust can be risky, particularly when you don’t yet have the experience to assess what’s relevant or helpful.
Having someone experienced in your corner can make a significant difference.

Why book a call?
Because our work together depends on our relationship. So, for all prospective clients, the discovery phase and exploring the potential work we might do, starts with getting to know one another.
I will ask about you as well as your business or non-profit, so be prepared for that! Not because I’m nosey, but because understanding you, your goals, what really matters and what drives you, will affect whether we can work together. Clarity is also essential to ensure we focus on the right type of work together, to ensure we get you to where you really want to be. Everything flows from there!
Every client works with me slightly differently, but it’s always on a 1:1, and anything I do is tailored to your unique business.
In some cases I offer training, but this is also always bespoke. For example, you may ask me to create a strategy and then, if you have a team, you might ask me to do a little work with your team e.g. design a bespoke LinkedIn sales strategy and then train your team to implement.
Tailored services mean you get the best results! And this matters more to me than anything. YOUR win is my why!
My hourly rate for ad-hoc 1:1 is £250 (exclusive rates are available for members of the Inspired Women Mastermind) however I find clients get better results generally when we work together monthly rather than completely ad-hoc.
I am available to start-ups to work on 12-week programme of support, which is usually sufficient to launch your business as long as you are doing the work between sessions, but most of my clients opt for monthly input on 6-month or 12-month basis, so I offer discounted rates for these.
My day rate for all other services varies, and may be reduced in exchange for equity and/or commission in the case of fractional sales leadership roles.
My Values
I serve those whose values align, and where connection, relationship and collaboration sit at more than a superficial level. Shared values are important to me to ensure I can really add value to my clients. I help those who enjoy quality relationships in life and business. That’s why I’m sharing mine here with you…
My core values:
1
Kindness I see kindness as the outworking of love. It’s the fingerprints of Jesus in the lives of others. And it really, really matters. When we are kind to one another, we build relationships and create space for each other to thrive. And we can be kind in the way we give, invest and treat those we interact with at all levels. Kindness always wins.
John Lennon nailed it when he wrote “all you need is love”!
As a Christian, I believe that we can only love because God first loved us, and that Jesus is the best role model for kindness that there ever was! My relationship with God is what drives my values and the way I show up in my work. Which is also why I don’t work with people whose businesses involve spiritual work that is not in agreement with Biblical teachings.
2
Respect -Treating others the way they would wish to be treated and honouring one another in the way we behave is important. I build relationships with people who are respectful of me, themselves, and others, and offer that same respect in return. I treat my clients with the upmost respect and promise confidentiality to all clients as standard.
Not judging, but instead always seeking to understand is part of respect – which also ties in with kindness.
3
Authenticity– Working well together to achieve your goals requires us to build relationships, which needs us to be honest about who we are and what matters to us – with ourselves and each other.If we hold back, we prevent a relationship from developing in which we can work closely, and the relationship is then hampered. And what’s the point of that?
Love yourself. Love life. Be yourself! And enjoy more fruitful relationships. But you’ll also get further in what you want to do to make the world a better place, when you can be yourself.
4
Integrity: For me, kindness, respectfulness and authenticity are all a part of integrity, really. Integrity is about honesty and good morals. For me that means: being a person of your word, being reliable in keeping your promises, and being trustworthy with secrets that aren’t yours to share. That’s why you can count on me to do a good job for you as we work together.
Integrity means not using power to manipulate or exploit others and instead caring for them. It means owning your mistakes and not blaming or shaming others. It means being true to yourself and standing up for your decisions. It encapsulates trusthworthiness, reliability and honesty which are very important to me. These attributes are critical in relationships and is a non-negotiable for me and those who I help.
I'm a heart-led leader, are you?
Heart-led leadership is a servant-hearted leadership style where the focus is not how much money we make, but how great our impact is, and how many people we can help. Money follows in business when we serve well and know what we’re doing in business!
Often referred to as “gardeners”, heart-led leaders tend to nurture others well.
We aren’t necessarily all soft and fluffy. We’re kind. But we’re also ambitious, purposeful and focused! We are keen to improve ourselves so we can help others better and show up to the best of our abilities in life.
As heart-led leaders, we are driven by purpose, sometimes multiple purposes, and this causes us to look beyond our own success, to play an infinite game (read more about The Infinite Game by Simon Sinek here). We aim to leave a legacy that is more than our bank balance. We love to provide opportunities for others to thrive, to impact the world around us, and look after those dearest to us, too.
This is me.
And if it sounds like you too, we’ll probably get along!
