I knew early on in my career that I had a passion for supporting and developing people, which led me on an exciting journey of personal and professional development. I now have a flourishing business whilst finding a good balance in my personal life.Â
If you have been thinking about starting a business, my advice is to go for it. There is a range of support available and many other people with experience to help you overcome challenges. If I can do it, you can!

Anna’s Story
How it began
I left my corporate role to become an independent coach in 2015. My passion for people development had been sparked by working on transformational change projects, where I discovered a fascination for the unique ways people respond to change. Time and time again I found that people could grow and thrive with tailored support.
My biggest challenge was
Starting and growing a business whilst being the main earner and balancing caring responsibilites – it felt like a big leap that took courage and drive. I just knew though… the time was now, and I felt a deep-held belief that this was the path for me, so I followed it, and have never looked back.Â
