Supporting organisations, leaders and teams and women leaders in STEM to step up and standout. Live in the High Peak with hubby and 2 mad cockers!
Reflection isn't a luxury — it's leadership in motion.

Each week I pause to ask: What did I learn? What do I need? What am I proud of?

How do you make space for reflection in your week?

No tech, perk, or policy replaces the power of feeling valued.

The best workplaces recognise that wellbeing and performance grow together.

What would make work more human for you? 🌿

View from the office today.

Back in my home town all week on UK Mediation training.

Another way I can support my clients.

When conflict arises in business, the last thing you want is a drawn-out legal battle. That's where mediation comes in, a smart, strategic alternative.

It's cost- and...

Confidence isn't about never doubting yourself. It's about moving forward even when you do.

Every time we act despite fear, we build new evidence that we can.

What helps you move forward when fear kicks in? 💪

Word of the Day: Self-Belief

It's the quiet force that turns “I can't” into “watch me.”

It's not about ego, it's about trust.

Trusting your judgement.

Trusting your voice.

Trusting that you already have what it takes to lead.

But here's the thing… most of us weren't taught to...

Travelling (and a few sat-nav mishaps) have reminded me that detours often lead to unexpected growth.

In business, too, the scenic route sometimes teaches the best lessons.

What lesson has the road taught you this year? 🚐

Leadership isn't a title — it's an action. It's the way we show up, listen, decide, and care.

Journaling prompt: “How do I want to show up as a leader this week?”

What action defines great leadership for you? 🌸

Today's joy? A muddy dog walk, strong coffee, and the the autumn leaves. 🍂

Small sparks of joy keep us grounded when life's busy.
What's been your spark this week?

A quiet morning, coffee in hand, dogs snoring, and a page of gratitude in my journal.

Gratitude shifts the lens from “what's missing” to “what's working.”

What are you grateful for today? 🌸

Culture isn't created by posters on a wall; it's shaped by daily decisions.

When values like integrity and respect are lived, not listed, people flourish.

What does a values-driven culture look like in your organisation? 🌿

I've been experimenting with Radaar, Vocable and ChatGPT lately, not to replace creativity, but to support it.

Last week something unexpected happened… I became one of Theo Paphitis' #SBS winners.

It made me think about what business recognition really means, especially when you're small, purpose-driven and doing the work mostly behind the scenes.

So I wrote about it: the win, the impact, what's...

I worked with a brilliant woman recently who stopped apologising for having a voice. Instead of shrinking, she stood tall, and her whole team rose with her.

Confidence doesn't mean being louder, it means being clearer on goals and where you're heading..

What would stepping up look like...

Some of my best ideas come while walking Dalton and Kelvin across the High Peak District hills. There's something about fresh air and wagging tails that clears the noise.

This week, I've been reflecting on how important space is, not just physical space, but thinking space.

As business owners, we're often so focused on keeping everything running that we forget to take care of ourselves.

Winter can quietly drain your energy and impact our mindset, but with a few intentional shifts, you can protect your mental wellbeing and show up as your best self.

Every thriving business begins with strong foundations — purpose, vision, mission and values.

Over the years, I've learnt that when decisions are anchored in what truly matters, everything else flows more easily.

Strong leadership often goes unnoticed when everything's running smoothly — but its absence is impossible to ignore.

When leadership goes wrong, teams lose direction, accountability fades, communication breaks down, and motivation drains away. The result? Confusion, burnout, and a...
