𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗨𝗖𝗖𝗘𝗦𝗦 𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗣 When is enough enough? 💰 How do you break the golden shackles? I had the dream life. 🏝️ As a CEO in Design and Fashion I had the dream jobs, travelling the world having amazing experiences, staying in the best hotels, meeting incredibly cool people and earning more money than I knew what to do with. Surely that’s the definition of success? But I felt trapped. ⛓️ What wasn’t obvious was the stress, the panic attacks, psoriasis, excessive drinking and lack of self care. 😓 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴.  How was something so amazing on the outside so soul destroying in the inside? I was increasingly defined by my role and I lost touch with who I really was. I lost touch with why I was working in the first place. The more I earned the more I needed to earn. The responsibilities piled up and I was afraid of losing it all. But I’d lost the passion that got me to the top. That spark had gone but I couldn’t see my way out. I vividly remember the fear I felt of losing those golden handcuffs and listening to my inner voice. How would I pay my bills? How would I survive? But what was clear was that I wasn’t surviving. It was killing me. I desperately needed change. I found an amazing life coach and opened up an incredible journey of reflection, learning and self discovery.  😀 𝙄'𝙫𝙚 𝙜𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙫𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜. 💪 LIFE IS GREAT. It's allowed me to reignite that spark ⚡, reconnect with my inner joy , better understand my purpose and make clearer, more informed life choices. ✨ I’ve continued to follow my inner voice and it’s ultimately led me to this incredibly rewarding place. ❤️ As a very successful Life Purpose Coach helping other CEOs, Founders, Leaders and High Achievers navigate this journey back to passion, success and a 𝘇𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲. What's stopping you from breaking free? #coaching #success #freedom

Standing still is harder than moving forward. Our comfort zones can be very uncomfortable. As humans we have an innate need for forward momentum. In every great story, the hero embarks on an adventure, faces challenges, transforms, and returns home changed and stronger. This journey isn’t just for characters in stories; it’s the path we’re all on when we face the daunting prospect of change. Often, we think that staying put is easier than stepping into the unknown. But is that really the case? Consider this: our “comfort zones” aren't always that comfortable. They're where we stop growing, feeling stuck and unsatisfied. Because the fear of what's ahead holds us back. But here's an exciting twist: like the heroes of our favourite stories, we're built for adventure. It’s in our nature to learn, adapt, and evolve. Our life stories are filled with moments of courage, discovery, and transformation, echoing the hero’s journey. Yes, venturing into the unknown is daunting, like stepping into a dark forest in a hero's tale. But think about what happens if the hero stays home. No challenges are overcome, no lessons are learned, and no transformation occurs. Staying in place can be the true villain, keeping us from our potential and our journey to becoming who we're meant to be. So, let's look at change through the lens of The Hero's Journey. Every step into the unknown is the start of a new chapter in our adventure. It's our chance to grow, to face trials, to find allies, and to return victorious, having changed for the better. 🔥 #HeroesJourney 🔥 #EmbraceChange 🔥 #PersonalGrowth 🔥 Now, it’s your turn: What stage of your hero's journey are you on this year? How are you conquering your fears and what dragons are you slaying as you step out of your comfort zone?

What qualifies me to help 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 and 𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 live their best lives? To put me in the perfect position to 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 and 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗿 leaders on the next stage of their journey? • Is it my successful years as a CEO and renowned Global Brand builder?    • Is it taking Global businesses to a very successful sale?    • Is it successfully exiting my life as a CEO?    • Is it successfully scaling businesses across continents and channels?    • Is it my training as certified and accredited life purpose coach?    • Is it the significant impact I've had on scaling clients businesses?    • Is it the massive increase in bottom line I've helped them deliver?    • Is it the confidence and clarity they now have in the future of their businesses?    • Is it the compelling proposition I help them craft, either in their market or with potential buyers? • Is it the confidence and clarity they now have in their life purpose and direction? Or is it because: I connect with them on a human level? I've sat in their seat and understand what they're going through? I know what they're looking for and how to get it? I truly care?

I thought when I stopped being a CEO I was giving up a life of luxury. How wrong was I!?! Hello from beautiful Bali. 🏝️❤️ Having totally reinvented myself, my new life as a LIFE PURPOSE COACH and MENTOR isn’t just providing me with incredible PURPOSE, BALANCE and JOY. It turns out it’s pretty lucrative as well! 3 years ago I’d had enough of being a CEO. I decided to jump off that moving train. Despite having had an amazing career leading global fashion and design businesses I decided I’d had enough. The stress, isolation, loneliness and thanklessness were no longer being offset by the great package and grand title. I took on a life coach and she totally changed the course of my life. She helped me gain CLARITY and BELIEF. I’ve now managed to seize back control of my life and most importantly find a way to share the love. I’m making deeper, more meaningful and joyful connections. I feel liberated. And I’m very successfully helping my clients do the same. Reigniting their passion and zest for life. Defining and realising their wildest dreams. And most importantly of all. Connecting to happiness in the present moment. ❤️🙏 Give me a shout and let’s go on an amazing new life journey together. 😃 #lifecoaching #liveyourdreams

🌟 If You're Not Looking For It, You Won't Find It 🌟 One of the most valuable lessons I've learned in both my career and life is the importance of intentionality. Of defining what you want. Whether it's life purpose, goals, opportunities, personal growth, or connections, you need to know what you're looking for or else you'll probably miss them. Doing the work to understand what perfect looks like means there's far more chance you'll find it. It's not manifestation. It's cognative bias. Look for red cars and you'll see them. The same logic applies with life. 9 times out of 10 the opportunities are right in front of you already! I see it with my clients all the time. 👂Listen to you inner, feeling voice. It really knows what you want. 🔍 Cultivate curiosity. Ask questions, explore new ideas, and challenge the status quo. 🚀 Be Proactive and don’t wait for opportunities. Network, upskill, and try new hobbies, travel, and meet new people. 🌱 Embrace Learning: Continuous learning opens doors. Stay updated with trends and engage in activities that expand your mind. 👥 Expand Your Network: Build diverse relationships. Different perspectives can reveal new opportunities. Most importantly, take the first step. As Rumi said so beautifully: “𝙒𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙬𝙖𝙡𝙠 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙮, 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙨” Opportunities rarely come knocking. By staying curious, proactive, and open to learning, you'll be amazed at what you can find when you're truly looking. #LifeLessons #CareerGrowth #Opportunities #ProactiveMindset #ContinuousLearning #Networking #PersonalDevelopment

This was me 23 years ago opening up a concept that was to change British Retail. Bringing the best of everything into one space, from brands to trends on a grand scale. We called it “a reflection of our customer’s wardrobes and lifestyle objects”. A reflection of the way we shop. From brands like APC, t shirts we made ourselves, vintage clothing to home wares and records. Hard to imagine now that there wasn’t anything like it at the time. In one article we were described as a mix between Collette in Paris and Beirut. We were incredibly privileged to be given a free rein to recreate the brand for the UK and European market however we felt best, as long as it was the essence of Urban Outfitters. Glasgow was our 3rd shop in Europe after Kensington in London and then Dublin. It was all about “curating a style of life”. Something I went on to do once again when I was given the privilege of reinventing The Conran Shop. It was about not being afraid to forge new ground. To do something new. In both Brands it was about creating a legacy. Something that emotionally connected with the audience. And that’s been my mantra for life. Spread some joy. Connect to what you believe in. If it comes from a place of passion and honesty it has every chance of succeeding. You have so much more chance of enjoying the journey. And that’s exactly what I’m doing now as a Life Purpose Coach. What achievements are you proud of? #legacy #lifecoaching #bebrave
