My Story
I knew I was capable of more, I just couldn't quite see what the next move was. This is my story of how I reconnected with my confidence and flourished.
Throughout most of my HR career, I was plagued by imposter syndrome - I'd come into HR late, I felt like I was playing catch-up and every promotion felt like luck, right place / right time. I had chronic self-doubt despite my strong performance. I was constantly terrified of being 'found out' or 'failing', afraid to speak up in meetings or challenge others in authority, I had difficulty asserting healthy boundaries like being able to 'say no' instead of people pleasing. Eventually I burnt out. At the time, I didn't know it was imposter syndrome.
The turning point for me was coaching. I hit a personal and professional crossroads and working with a coach shifted my life entirely - she helped me to learn how to appreciate and value myself, which in turn increased my self-belief and confidence.
Coaching helped me to understand my core values and strengths and to accept my career achievements as a result of my capability, determination, tenacity and personal resilience, not luck or right place / right time. We dug deep to understand where my imposter feelings stemmed from (sensitive child, not fitting in at school, leaving education prematurely), reframed unhelpful thoughts into empowering ones (based on evidence) and updated my belief system (to match my true operating system).
With more clarity, purpose, a growth mindset and renewed confidence, I truly flourished in my career working in more senior positions and subsequently setting up my own coaching and consultancy business in 2019. I've never looked back since.
That's my 'why' for training as a Professional Coach, I'm a real life case study for overcoming self-doubt and making the impossible possible through the power of coaching. I love helping individuals and teams delve into their true potential.
On a personal level, I love travelling and days out walking with my husband, art, photography, chocolate and Latin dancing. As well as spending time with my family and friends.
