My mission

I help successful retail and fashion business owners regain their headspace, future-proof their margins and sustain both their business and their wellbeing in times of rising pressure.

I believe running a retail business should be fun and exciting. But it requires laser focused, enthusiastic and passionate business owners to overcome day-to-day challenges and keep the business moving forward. A clear-headed focused business owner can keep the business on track, develop it and grow it. But sometimes we can lose focus and get lost in the day-to-day challenges….  

This is where I come in, I can help you! 

  • Independent and confidential person who’s been there, to talk things through and discuss the challenges, be your sounding board… 
  • Swap business self-doubt for confident business owner to achieve success. 
  • Actionable insights and accountability to keep you on track and motivated towards achieving your main objectives. 

Focused business owners create happy teams which make happy customers; happy customers spend more money! 

And to give you the confidence that I have the credentials to support your development: 

 

  • 35+ yrs experience running multiple businesses, in numerous sectors including Fashion retail, Retail, Leisure, Hospitality and Manufacturing.  
  • I have navigated the highs and lows of running my own business.  
  • I understand the challenges, pressures, frustrations, loneliness, and the feelings of uncertainty that are associated with building successful businesses.  
  • I am a certified master’s (MA) level 7 Executive business coach (University of Warwick Degree course) accredited by the Association of Coaching.
