Embarking on the journey of entrepreneurship wasn't just a career pivot for me; it was a leap towards freedom and fulfillment, that came with lots of uncertainty and indecision. After dedicating nine years to a charity as CEO , I made the bold decision to pursue self-employment for two reasons close to my heart.

Firstly, I craved the flexibility to nurture my family amidst the demands of my partner's shift work. In my previous role, I was fortunate to have earned trust and fostered strong relationships, allowing for such flexibility. However, as I explored new opportunities, I realised this level of autonomy was a rare find.

Despite my nerves, stepping into the world of self-employment was undeniably the right move, one I wish I had made sooner. Joining Think Productive, a global leader in productivity and well-being training, breathed new life into my career. The impact of their methods on my own stress management and decision-making abilities had been huge. I wanted to share this passion and solutions. I'm enjoying it so much, and can't believe it's been almost 10 years.

Although the path was uncertain, I embraced the challenge and pursued further growth. Investing in coaching and facilitation accreditation expanded my tool kit.

Reflecting on my journey, I recognised the transformative power of peer learning and the value of community, especially for solopreneurs like myself.

Inspiration struck when a friend expressed interest in a team day despite working solo. January marked the inception of a pilot session catered to individuals craving community and professional development. Witnessing their enthusiasm and growth firsthand ignited a fresh perspective on my mission.

As I immersed myself in the wisdom of thought leaders like Steven Bartlett and Arianna Huffington, I realised that the principles they advocated echoed the very essence of my productivity work.

The seeds of the 'Focus Programme' were sown—a six-month journey crafted to empower business owners, solopreneurs, and the self-employed. Through tailored support and focusing on the work and habits that make the most difference, participants will meet their goals without succumbing to stress or burnout.

I'm thrilled to unveil this new chapter, driven by a passion to empower others and foster thriving communities within the realm of entrepreneurship. I am so excited!
