A selection of creative sessions to help you build your business and brand.
Running your own business is the most (MOST) difficult job you will ever have. That can be a particularly depressing thought. Alternatively, it can be the motivation required to educate and equip yourself to tackle the problems that stand in the way of you living your best professional and creative life.
It is difficult to admit we need help, in fact it is possibly something I battle with most in life. Luckily, functioning within a creative community means you can lose the shame and rather connect with fellow business owners, bloggers and entrepreneurs to realise that you aren’t alone, help is on-hand and we can still believe in the dreams that brought us here, even on the low days, even when it feels somewhat impossible.
These specially designed classes were born from necessity. The necessity to help, guide and lead others towards taking ownership of their dreams and goals, redesigning their thinking and refocusing on what’s important today in order to align with what we hope to achieve in the future.
With my background and experience in luxury fashion, marketing and a blogging career spanning over a nine year period, I feel that a great deal of my work experience has lead me to offering these specialised, professional sessions. To share that knowledge, which encompasses a worldwide perspective through to our own unique local influence brings me great happiness. A honed set of facts, skills and observations both in the creative market and the corporate terrain are brought together in a package that allows for the shared information to take on a discreet, focused and exceptionally detailed delivery to you... my clients.

To kick off the series, there are a selection of options to meet a multitude of personal and unique needs. There are also two ways in which you can participate and receive that much needed assistance to improve your brand and self-confidence at the helm of your own creative business dreams.
- The Process -
- Review the sessions or classes below and decide which you will benefit from the most. It might be more than one which means you can join in for more than one series of sessions. Good news!
- View the timetable and which student type you are and compare it to your schedule and availability.
- Get in touch and book your sessions. Space is limited to only three students per class so don't delay.
The sessions run for three consecutive weeks to learn more about the subject on hand. As you work through the sessions, you will receive practical examples and insight that you can implement within your own life and business. Each session is taught by me, personally, no recordings, no videos... the real life person version. It ensures you can ask questions directly and we can tackle your individual concerns. If your schedule doesn't allow for you to attend weekly sessions, there is the option to have one on one mentorship to suit your schedule and pace. In addition you will be linked to a small, community of like-minded creatives to further encourage each other. Want to enrol? Click here...
