I was in the boarding lounge at Heathrow Airport, in tears. (Not one of my proudest moments, I have to say) I was crying because I was about to do something amazing.

As women leaders, we can’t control all the criticism or judgment that we’re going to receive from others. It doesn’t matter how big or small your vision is. The very nature of declaring that you stand for something, or that you’re making any kind of change, opens us up to feedback from others. Whether you’re […]

The concepts of “self love” and “self care” get talked about a lot in personal development circles. You might catch yourself thinking that you really should be doing more to take care of yourself, or show yourself love. (Feeling like a failure about your lack of kindness to yourself kind of defeats the point, don’t […]

If you wear lots of different hats in the course of your life, you know how valuable it is to know how to say no politely. It’s one thing to say no to things you don’t want to do. But finite time and energy also means turning down requests for things we’d love to do […]

Last week saw us hosting our inaugural One of many™ Women’s Coach Training. It was truly a phenomenal week of transformation. I have to say I am both thrilled and relieved to have accomplished this training at 37 weeks pregnant! And it struck me as a time of giving birth to two babies at the […]

As women we have a tendency to put ourselves last and therefore deplete our reserves. Over the years I’ve noticed that men are much better at taking care of their basic needs.
