Are You Ready To Embrace Your Awesomeness And Excel In Your Career?

You have got your ideal job.  You nailed the interview - you were confident, gave great examples of your experiences, competencies and skills - you were so excited for the opportunity and knew you would be awesome if you got the role.  And the hiring manager believed this to!  

Fast forward a few weeks or months, and you are now starting to doubt yourself.  You are panicking about what you don’t know or understand at the moment.  You feel like a fraud and all confidence is ebbing away.  You are struggling to sleep, you are putting in more hours, but the to-do lists are not getting any smaller, you feel out of control and this feeling of anxiety is growing on a day-by-day basis.

You are a swan - perfectly calm looking, but under the water the legs are frantically trying to keep you going in the right direction!

You are not alone.  You are not a fraud.  You are genuinely awesome.  I believe in you and can help you re-believe in yourself!

If you are ready for change, now is the perfect time for you to invest in your own personal development, to learn more about yourself and start your amazing journey towards genuine confidence and a more fulfilling life.

Why Should I Choose You To Be My Coach?

Hi, I’m Lindsey and I’m very pleased to meet you!

I am a gentle but powerful professional life and executive coach who specialises in working with women who struggle with the imposter syndrome to help you feel genuinely confident. Using a toolkit of coaching tools and techniques to deepen self-awareness, you can learn to appreciate your own unique attributes, and then harness these to excel in the career you love. Really knowing, understanding and acknowledging your strengths and what gives you energy means you can utilise your own uniqueness to be able to implement simple strategies to show up in all situations in a way that is authentic to your true self. You will find you will achieve even greater results in all areas of your life, and feel genuinely confident in your actions, decisions and communications.

I believe in you and can help you re-believe in yourself.

I love working with successful, talented women. I have faith in you and your potential. I only work with a limited number of individuals at any one time and am 100% committed to you. I believe you can achieve a deeper level of self-awareness that will propel you to even greater success in the future. 

I am an accredited coach, with over 10 years and 700 hours of professional coaching experience and am committed to my own continuous professional and personal development. I know of the struggles you are experiencing and can help guide you through your own journey, but I will never take away from you that this is your journey - you are the expert in your life, I am the expert in coaching.

You need to feel comfortable and happy with whoever you decide to be your coach - this is an important step in your personal development and you need to be totally sure you have the right person to support you during this time. 

Being coached by me gives you:

Coaching Session Options

 

  • If you want a coaching program that offers you a roadmap to deepen your self-awareness and improve your self-confidence, then look no further! For the investment you receive email access to me throughout the 3-6 month program, and 6 x 1 hour tailored coaching sessions that can cover:

    • Acknowledging your unique combination of strengths, skills and experiences

    • Developing strategies to calm your nervous system and stop self-doubt from holding you back

    • Working through and challenging your inner thoughts

    • Understanding your values and aligning your life around these

    • Cultivating a positive mental attitude

    • Creating an action plan to excel in the career you love

    • Building your own toolkit to ensure you can keep your confidence high in the future

    If you are interested, please book a no-obligation 30 minute chat, where we can discuss if this program is for you, any questions you may have and, if we are a fit to work together, to get this booked in for you!

  • Individual coaching sessions can help you:

    • clearly define what you want to achieve and why

    • have a safe space to discuss thoughts and ideas

    • work on your mindset

    • keep focused and moving forward

    • build self-confidence through action

    Having had the privilege of working with amazing individuals over the years, I know your coaching journey is as unique as you are.

    As such, individual coaching sessions can be booked for 60 minute time slots and you can choose adhoc sessions or decide to book a series, whatever is best for you and how you work.

    (If you are new to coaching, and are unsure of the number of sessions you will need, from my experience, if you are working on one behavioural change goal, fortnightly 1 hour sessions over 2-3 months will normally see amazing results.)

  • An Everything DiSC® workplace profile and a 60 minute coaching session focuses on increasing your self-awareness to understand your strengths, and natural tendencies, whilst developing strategies to increase your effectiveness and build your confidence in your own unique abilities.

    You will receive a personalised PDF report which details your results, giving you a resource you can keep referring back to.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

 

  • I work with you as a ‘thinking partner’ to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself to be able to make informed decisions about how to move from your current state to your desired end state in the most effective way. I will ask you questions, and challenge your thinking, giving you the time and space to unlock new understanding, different perspectives, and exciting strategies that will work for you.

    The work isn’t always easy but it can be transformational! You are always in control, and the sessions are tailored to your requirements. Here are some of the areas we may cover when working together:

    • you will have time and space to define your goals and create plans to achieve them

    • we can explore your strengths and where you get your energy from

    • you will learn what excites you and what drains you and will develop strategies to support you when facing into either

    • you will discover why some relationships are harder than others, and how within your own sphere of influence, you can maximise the chances of achieving the results you want with others

    • you will learn to accept yourself, and others

    • you can decide if you want to develop your strengths to the next level, work on ways to overcome limitations, or a mixture of the two, with a greater knowledge of how any of these decisions will affect you

    • I hold you accountable for the changes you desire, and also help provide any additional support that may be required

    • I will ask questions to challenge your current thinking

    • you can explore thoughts and actions in a safe environment to gain greater self-awareness and decide ways to think, react or do things in the future.

    This short video also explains more about the type of work I do.

  • Everything DiSC® is a non-judgemental psychometric tool used to help deepen self-awareness. The profile is focused around the behavioural traits of dominance, influence, steadiness and conscientiousness. No profiles are ‘better’ or ‘worse’ than others; the point of the profile is for you to understand your unique ‘mixture’ of traits.

    If you select a coaching session that has this option, you will be emailed a unique link to complete a series of questions online. There are no right or wrong answers, you just need to answer the questions honestly. The results of this will produce a detailed 20 page pdf that is unique to you. This report creates great discussions in the coaching session. We can then use this information to help you improve relationships, communications, decision making and action-taking, as well as create powerful strategies that work for you to help move you from where you are now, to where you want to be.

    You can learn more about DiSC profiles in this webinar.

  • I use secure video conferencing for coaching sessions. This allows us to meet face-to-face via an online meeting room, at convenient days and times without location being a limiting factor.

  • I only work with you if you are 100% committed to achieving the results you want. My commitment to you is that coaching sessions with me can definitely support you in achieving this. Once you book your session(s), there are no refunds, however, you can reschedule sessions, if you need to.

  • Once you have made the commitment to your own personal development, you can book online and the coaching will commence at the date and time you have selected!

    If you are interested in Embrace Your Awesomeness Program, book a free 30 minute online meeting with me, and, if you decide the program is a fit to help you achieve your goals, I can then schedule this to start at a date and time that works for both of us!

  • You can book a free, no-obligation online meeting with me where you can ask any questions you may still have. I will answer these for you, and provide any additional details about coaching so you can feel assured that this coaching will support you in achieving your goals.
