Look who Showed Up!

The more we show up as our true selves, in our pure energy, unfiltered, the greater our impact in this world. In fact, in my experience, people are quite relieved when we stop trying to be perfect and begin to shine our unique light in all of its quirky glory.

Frankly

Being true to who we are allows the same for others

May realness be our guiding star, within it we recover

All we must do is feel on through, embracing all the learning

For there is not another You and life continues turning

Let’s share our mess, not window dress

Let’s not profess to know it

For human is what we do best

Let’s let it out, let’s show it

We do not need to travel far, connection to discover

Being true to who we are allows the same for others

As well as being a poet, highly-sensitive being and self-confessed Crazy Cat Lady, I am a Creative Leadership Coach, Trainer and Team Coach with considerable experience in coaching clients in the Creative, Manufacturing, and Pharmaceutical sectors. I specialise in helping individuals and teams to work past limiting beliefs, to think outside-of-the-box and to show up as conscious, inspiring and dynamic leaders. I am passionate about helping leaders to show up authentically and I design and co-lead bespoke Conscious Leadership programmes for FMCG organisations wishing to create opportunities for their employees to shine and truly maximise their potential. In addition, I co-facilitate Happy Teams workshops, helping remote teams to build trust and connect to their strengths, purpose and vision in playful, creative and experiential ways. A co-active coach with PCC accreditation from the ICF, I am also Leadership Circle Profile certified and ORSC trained. I graduated from the CTI Inner Leadership programme in February 2020 and know from firsthand experience what it means to do the deep, inner work needed for personal growth. I hold a BA in French and Drama and a PGCE in Modern Foreign Languages. Throughout my coaching career I have empowered individuals to write books, make life-affirming career changes, overcome anxiety and to take giant leaps towards heightened self-realisation, increased authentic leadership presence and spiritual growth. An ex-lawyer and C-suite executive client recently shared that she had “never experienced anything so powerful” and that she is now able to “trust her truth”. One global client team leader reported being “touched, motivated, encouraged and brimming with energy” and another shared that his team was able to “demonstrate their creativity and really get behind their vision”. My personal and team coaching style is playful, intuitive, somatic and compassionate. My workshop facilitation style is dynamic, inclusive, expressive and authentic and my 20 years experience as an international school educator and team leader have contributed to my ease in leading group facilitation. My superpower is using my incredible intuition and sensitivity to see into people and challenge them in a powerfully courageous way. A prolific poet and podcaster, I live and breathe my own creativity and in turn inspire others to do the same

  2. How can your tribe find you if you are not being yourself? Great poem! Especially loved the rhythm and internal rhyme of lines like “Let’s share our mess, not window dress / Let’s not profess to know it.” Many modern poets think rhyming is childish and un-hip. For me, it’s like a secret handshake to an exclusive club. Glad you’re in it. 🙂
