I’ve always been creative, expansive and ready to have a go at things. I’ve had this entrepreneurial spirit all my life. Wanting to make ‘it’ better, seeing things that need doing and just acting on that impulse. I leave humans and things better off than I first find them.

My working life has been varied and yet the golden thread that runs through all the different 'hats' I've worn is training. I was born to teach, to make simple, to facilitate.

I started my career as a waitress, eventually opening seventeen TGI Friday's - going from rubble to restaurant in 6 weeks teaches you a LOT about structure, systems and how to handle humans in any situations!  I've trained 1000s of people during my working life - at the London Fire Brigade, in the Video Conferencing industry (before Facetime was even an idea), and in other various guises and disciplines along the way.

I started my own first business (ad)venture in 2011 - 'Workshops That Work' morphed into Helping You Shine in 2014. It took 6 years to feel fully confident as a business owner, despite all my corporate experience. I had to build up my self-belief. I had to strengthen my mindset. I had the skills, but I didn’t believe it or know it. So, you see, I’ve been there.

I'm so glad you are here; it likely means you are ready to create the life you long for, personally and professionally. We all need someone to help us to access our quiet courage and step beyond ourselves into the ambitious beliefs, goals and desires we have - let me be your Chief Cheerleader and help you achieve them.

I believe in you.
