Business Mentoring for heart-led, value-based business owners and managers who need some space to step back, see where they are and work out what needs attention next.
Not a formula. Not a hard sell. A thoughtful conversation with someone who has built and run businesses too.
Running a business, or being responsible for one, can mean spending most of your time dealing with whatever is directly in front of you.
The next email. The next client. The next decision. The next problem to solve.
It's easy to lose sight of the wider picture: why you started, what's actually working, what isn't, and where you want all of this to go.
Business Mentoring creates room to pause and look at that landscape properly, with someone alongside you.
Not to hand you a map. To help you read the one you're already standing in.
People come to Business Mentoring for all sorts of reasons. Often it's a feeling that something needs attention, even if it's hard to say exactly what.
You don't need to have it all worked out before we talk. Working it out is part of the point.
Business Mentoring grows out of the same thinking as my Wayfinder work, applied to your working life. We don't start with a template. We start with where you are, and with questions like these:
Where am I now?
What actually matters?
What's getting in the way?
What needs my attention?
What can I let go of?
And where do I want to head next?
The destination doesn't need to be fixed.
What you need from your business can change as your life, your priorities and your circumstances change. That's not failure. It's part of running something that's genuinely yours.
You don't have to see the whole path to take the next step.
If you'd like to know more about the thinking behind this, you can read about Wayfinder.
For a lot of the people I work with, their business is more than a way of earning money. It's an expression of what they care about.
That's worth protecting. But it also has to work in practice: for your clients, for your finances and for you.
You don't need to think of yourself as spiritual to work with me. You just need to care about doing your work in a way that feels right.
The business matters. So does the person behind it.
I'm not going to arrive with a formula and tell you how your business should run. You know your work, your clients and your circumstances better than anyone.
My role is to help you think more clearly about them.
Understanding what's really going on before deciding what to do about it.
The kind that help you notice what you already know, and what you've been avoiding.
An outside perspective on patterns, priorities and options that are hard to spot from the inside.
Practical, realistic actions that fit you and the way you want to work.
I've spent many years running and developing businesses, including more than ten years running my own salon, and building Authentic Self.
So I understand what it's actually like to build something, make decisions without all the answers, change direction, work closely with clients, and balance what the business needs with what you need.
That lived experience sits alongside my coaching and mentoring training. Together, they shape how I work: practically, honestly and with a lot of respect for what you've already built.
I know what it’s like when you’re so busy working in the business that you don’t get the space to stand back and really see it. Sometimes having someone outside of it to talk things through with can change what you see.
I don't provide regulated financial, investment, legal or accountancy advice. Where you need specialist advice, it's important to speak to an appropriately qualified professional.
There's no set formula. We work with what you bring and what you need.
Sometimes the right next step is growth. Sometimes it's simplifying, resting or doing less, better.
The decisions stay yours. My job is to help you make them with more clarity and confidence.
Everyone needs something slightly different, so there isn't a fixed package to choose from.
A single conversation
Short-term support around a particular issue
A longer period of mentoring
The best place to start is simply a conversation about what you're working through and what kind of support might actually be useful.
It's not a sales call. There's no pressure and no obligation, just a chance to talk it through and see whether working together feels right.
Tell me a little about you, your business and what's on your mind. I'll get back to you to arrange a time to talk.
Business Mentoring is available in person in Belper, Derbyshire, or online, so wherever you're based, we can work together.
