Speaking Gigs

Relationship & Life Coach 

As a Relationship & Life Coach I am confident in delivering talks and have two key talks and audiences that I deliver to. Whilst the talks do have some differences, the ‘take-aways’ are fundamentally the same. My key Speech is called When Life Gives You Lemons… 

3 Nuggets to take-away:

  1. You are the only person who can navigate your life and story. We are sometimes dealt a duff-hand… life can sometimes give us lemons. What we do with those lemons is up to us. Will you take control of your circumstances and lead yourself down the path of happiness and change or will you stay ‘stuck and unhappy – the choice is yours alone. So what are you goals, what do you want and what (or who) is holding you back?
  2. Our mind is our best friend and our worst foe. A positive mindset will change everything and a negative one will keep us stuck and suppressed. Do you choose to be in control, empowered, accountable, in charge?? what do you think about when you consider your goals? Can you achieve whatever you want or do you self-limiting beliefs hold you back? I can show you how!!
  3. Your Tribe and your Influencers… Why it is important to understand the difference and be sure that the people you spend the most amount of time listening to and feeding off, are the right people for you personal and spiritual growth. Your Tribe and your Influencers are not the same thing… I will explain why.

The importance of loving yourself in order to have a fulfilling relationship with your partner

As a wife of a husband with Aspergers, I am all-to familiar with the loneliness that can come with these relationships. I love my husband with all my heart and we have a beautiful family and a wonderful life. But it hasn’t always been easy and I spent many years wondering what was going on, why I was often unhappy, what was the cause of my loneliness and upset that I spent so much time apart from him. Sometimes our life is completely unified but often it is quite separate.

As I have reflected on my journey, I have been able to realise that I have set in place some structures and routines to protect myself from the loneliness… these also protect my husband from feeling like he needs to be different in order to make me happy. The times when he is anxious, exhausted, unavailable, are the times that I feel like I need more of him, his time, his emotional availability… his anxiety then heightens, he becomes more removed and so the cycle continues.

As a Relationship Coach, I have been able to speak confidently and openly about these struggles… I work with many women who, for similar reasons, experience married life the same way… in love but alone.

Female Entrepreneurs 

This talk is similar to the above because the reality is that it doesn’t matter what your relationship status is, if we are unhappy or unsettled in our relationships, it affects the way we run our business. As women, wives, partners and mothers, we do so much to be able to put ourselves out there and create the life we want. But in order to do this we have to juggle a lot of balls. We need to be happy if we want to get the best out of ourselves, our employees, our clients and our family.

I know that  the women I work with and speak to all benefit from the same tips and advice, regardless of their background or culture.
