Interview with The Biskery founders
In this conversation I'm talking to Saskia Roskam and Lisa Shepherd, co-founders of The Biskery as they share their story of spreading love in biscuit form.
This journey has seen them go from colleagues to award-winning entrepreneurs, and their star is only on the rise.
The Origin Story Paradigm & Lessons from the Mountain
I’ve just come back from the Rewilding retreat in the Lake District with the most incredible group of women.
All of them have both experienced and busted through their Origin Story Paradigm, and I want to capture it for you while it’s still fresh – because there’s a lesson in there for you too.
Don t quit. Life is tough, but so are you lovely 🔥
Have you been feeling the push to quit? To throw the towel in, to admit defeat, to acknowledge you’re just not cut out for this entrepreneurship game?
Listen to today’s conversation before you make any big decisions – it might just be the very thing you need right now.
10 traits of highly successful female entrepreneurs
I’m in the privileged position of working with some incredibly successful female entrepreneurs, founders and business owners.
I’ve been doing this work since 2007, I’ve helped hundreds, if not thousands of women to date.
Over this time, I’ve observed 10 key traits of the most successful ones, and this is what I want to share with you today.
How to set 2024 goals that stick!
Are you ready to set some goals for year ahead? Goals that are audacious, that make your gut fizz and your fingers tingle? Maybe you’ve already set some New Years Resolutions, and have already fallen off the waggon? Maybe you’ve got some goals already, but they don’t quite feel right?
Maybe you’re feeling stuck, and overwhelmed with what to focus on first? Well fear not, because in today’s conversation, I’m going to be teaching you my very best Aligned Goal Setting model.
Difficult relationships in the festive season
I’m speaking to so many people at the moment who are trying to navigate tricky relationships over Christmas and the festive season.
Whether it’s a co-worker or a loved one, or someone you’d rather NOT have in your life (but it’s not that simple!), navigating those tricky relationships can really take the shine off the festive season.
My Top Tips if you feel like Festive Superwoman
It’s a lot at this time of year, isn’t it? Especially if you’re a high achiever/control freak like me. I’m having a lot of chats at the moment about the perfect storm the festive season brings (see my post earlier this week about the 10 signs of Imposter Syndrome at Christmas), but today’s conversation is all about the pressure to be Superwoman (Festive Edition).
The 10 Signs You MUST Tackle Your Imposter NOW
These are the 10 Signs of Imposter Syndrome in women, that indicate that’s it time to do something about it! I shared this workshop twice last week, and it was so impactful and eye-opening I want to share it with you too. I invite you to play along – grab a pen and paper, and see how many resonate with you.
Reflections on November – how am I still sane?
This has probably been one of the busiest months of my life, and I’d love to share some reflections with you.
Winning an award vs Imposter Syndrome ➡️ A hot off-the-press case study
Have you ever been nominated for an award? If you have Imposter Syndrome as well, this is the ultimate stress test for IS.
I’ve helped so many clients over the years get over the Imposter Syndrome about being nominated for awards, and be able to properly celebrate and bask when they win, or deal with the upcoming stuff when they lose.
Well, last night it was my turn and this is the perfect case study for what I want to talk to you about today.
You CAN change your circumstances! Listen to this ➡️
You CAN change your circumstances!
Feeling frustrated? Wondering when it gets to feel better, to feel easy, to feel fun?
Wondering when all this graft, and faith and patience and grit will come good, and you'll reap the rewards.
I want to you to hear today, you CAN change your circumstances, you can have your dream life and you absolutely should not give up and settle for 'good enough'.
Starting to look forward to 2024? Stop and listen to this…
Don’t know about you, but I’m currently being bombarded with messages about planning for 2024, setting your vision for next year, getting January off to a flying start....
Today I want to talk about the fact it’s not over until the fat lady sings.
There are 65 days left this year, and here are my top 5 tips on how to make the most of them.
Want to stand in your unapologetic power & authority as a leader? Listen to this
It's World Values Day and anybody who knows me knows I bang on about values at every opportunity.
Let’s talk about values, and why you these need to be your no. 1 focus if you are a business owner
Overwhelmed and frustrated? This coaching model will help
One of the biggest problems women come to me with is overwhelm.
Female entrepreneurs still feel a massive pressure to be Superwoman, to hold all the things, to juggle a million balls and to prove they can have it all.
And the truth us, most of the time they're smashing it.
But just sometimes, this can tip into overwhelm. Into a to-do list of competing priorities, all urgent.
Into the final straw that breaks the camel's back, and makes them feel like just giving up.
Into procrastination, and wasting time on low-value tasks.
In today's conversation, I'm going to teach you how to take back CONTROL of your day.
Are you just planning on just surviving through October? Listen to this
"I just want to get through it"
"I'm planning on surviving it"
How do you feel about October?
I've had the above comments a few times this week and so wanted to address them.
Often when we're overwhelmed and getting stuck in the weeds, we lose sight of the big dream and just concentrate on the day to day.
This is a huge problem, because you end of having about 10% of the impact you could be having, and end up feeling rubbish and lost.
OR you might be doing incredible things - they're ALL high value and high stakes - but you're so stretched and desperate to get it right - you're not enjoying and celebrating your success.
Reflections on September
What a month it has been!
The kids have returned to school and we're in the full swing of planning the final months of the year.
I've hosted my 'Freedom from Imposter Syndrome for Tech & Digital Professionals' Event as part of the Leeds Digital Festival and I couldn't be happier with how it went.
Do you believe in the win win?
I just had the most incredible conversation with a friend and fellow female entrepreneur - I got so inspired and dashed straight on here to tell you about it!
If you're in need of some mojo today - check this out!
Are you letting Derek ruin your business?
Fear of 'Derek' is one of the biggest blockers I see to women creating the business they dream of.
It stops them saying what they really want to say, and sharing what they really want to share.
It makes them tone down their voice, apologise for their opinion and find excuses not to press 'post' or do that video.
It’s that fear that Derek is going to show up and troll them.
This makes me so mad, and so let's talk about it.
The Robot Dance Off & The Worst Stage Fright Ever
The Robot Dance Off & The Worst Stage Fright Ever
Last night I had a flashback to this time last year, where I was faced with one of the most panic-inducing, stage fright triggering, all-the-visibility-fears situations.
It was one of those moments you remember forever, and is quite a funny story.
If you've got 5 minutes and a brew, let me tell you the tale...
The no. 1 thing you need to focus on in your business in September
August is a funny month - the perfect storm of wanting to make magical moments with the kids, trying to fit work into too few hours, nobody’s around so things are going slower and not enough time to keep yourself sane.
And so your thoughts turn to September, and looking towards the final quarter of the year.
- How am I going to have a big finish?
- How can I smash my financial and business goals?
- What shall I do to focus my efforts and exceed all expectations?
- Plus lose the half a stone I put on during the holidays?
This conversation is all about the ONE thing you should be focusing on in your business in September.
This one thing is Authentic Visibility.
