The traditional way of doing business is no longer working.
We are facing unprecedented challenges in the world, and our old ways of thinking and working are not equipped to handle them.
Life seems even more challenging at the moment?
Levels of mental health and wellbeing have been thrust into the spotlight and there's more and more people not doing well.
We need to shift our focus to what truly matters: people.
I work with a diverse range of clients, from seasoned professionals to ambitious individuals seeking personal and professional growth.

I work with people. In fact, I love figuring out how to develop people into better versions of themselves. I'm thoroughly convinced that what we believe enables us to belong. Belong as leaders, belong in teams and belong in community. It's this sense of deep belonging that empowers people to embrace their strengths and foster deep connections... one-to-one and one-to-many!
My strengths bring together diverse perspectives and expertise I've honed over the 30+ years I've been in creative roles, business, working with people and teams, and leadership positions. My approach is always "you" focussed and bespoke, starting exactly where you need me to.

😍💥🔥🎯 62 Ways to think more creatively #33 IGNITING YOUR CREATIVE SPARK
At heart I’m a self professed dreamer, artist, and thinker. I’m totally convinced that what lies within me is an unquenchable thirst for creation. But did you know that the act of creating can, in itself, become a source of endless inspiration? It's a cycle as beautiful as it is empowering – the more you create, the more you're inspired to create. I can certainly vouch for this. When I’m in my creative flow, the ideas for innovation, creativity and that hit of adrenaline kicks in and before I know it… I’m on a roll. Sometimes I have crazy ideas, like putting timber floor panelling on the ceiling, (fortunately I married an incredible creative in Lincoln who makes my crazy schemes become a reality. He makes all the crazy, practical!!)
The Creative Cycle: A Symphony of Inspiration and Creation
Imagine creativity as a river that flows through you. Each act of creation is like a pebble thrown into this river, creating ripples that spread outwards, touching shores you never knew existed. This is the essence of the creative cycle – a self-sustaining loop of inspiration and creation. Here’s what I’ve discovered works for me:
Cultivating a Consistent Creative Practice: Your Pathway to Unending Ideas
Set Aside Dedicated Time for Creativity: Establish a specific time each day or week solely for creative activities. It could be early in the morning, during a lunch break, or in the evening. The key is consistency. This dedicated time slot becomes a ritual, signaling to your brain that it's time to focus on creative tasks. Whether it's 15 minutes or an hour, having a regular schedule helps in building a habit.
Keep a Creativity Journal: Carry a small notebook or use a digital app to jot down ideas, sketches, or inspirations as they come to you throughout the day. This practice not only ensures that you don’t lose those fleeting creative thoughts but also encourages you to actively look for inspiration in your daily surroundings. Reviewing and adding to this journal can be a part of your dedicated creative time.
Incorporate Creative Exercises into Your Routine: Engage in short, focused creative exercises daily. These can be quick sketching sessions, writing prompts, brainstorming ideas, or even DIY crafts. The objective is to keep your creative muscles active. You can vary these exercises to cover different aspects of creativity – one day it might be visual, another day it could be verbal or musical. Over time, these exercises can significantly enhance your creative skills and thinking.
The Magic of Momentum in Creativity
I’ve found that when I immerse myself in this cycle of creation, my capacity for creativity expands. Each act of creation builds momentum, propelling me towards my next idea. It’s a virtuous cycle – the more I create, the more my reservoir of ideas grows.
Transforming Challenges into Creative Fuel
Even when I face challenges, I’ve found the hidden opportunities to express my creativity in ways that sometimes surprise myself. I’ve kind of adopted the stance to embrace difficulties as catalysts for innovation. One thing I often ask myself is, “How can this challenge spur my creativity?” Often, the most profound ideas arise from the crucible of challenge.
Your Creative Journey: Uniquely Yours
Remember, your creative journey is as unique as you are. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach. What matters is that you keep moving in this cycle, keep creating, and keep exploring. Your journey is about finding your rhythm in the symphony of creation.
