Originally I was looking for someone to help me prepare and help me with one of my biggest fears public speaking.  My first self–published book, Sleepy Magic, was about to launch, and I knew for it to be successful I would have to push through this fear and feel comfortable talking about it.

When I spoke to you, we instantly clicked, and I knew you wouldn’t just hold my hand in this area but ultimately help market the book and help develop “me” as a brand, not just an author.

We worked one on one for six months while I was in phase one of getting started and then I joined a Business Mastermind that was an intimate group of women with all different businesses. We all love and are passionate about what we are doing and want our work to bring positive change into the world.

And the results we achieved?  Where do I start?? Here’s a list of what has happened in exactly 12 months.

1. Developed and launched my website.
2. Printed and published my Sleepy Magic
3. Gained online media presence and a growing community
4. Secured my first radio interviews and a string of newspaper/magazine/podcast interviews
5. Had my book reviewed by newspaper/magazines/bloggers
6. My books were initially stocked in 14 bookstores/kids shops
7. I exhibited at three trade shows
8. I spoke at four speaking gigs (This was the biggest hurdle for me)
9. I raised over $9,000 to build my Sleepy Magic school in Nepal with Room to Read
10. I was approached by two literally agents (one being in London) and  a Publisher 6 months after launch.
11. I now have an agent and publisher!
12. My book is now selling in over 120 bookstores/shops nationally
13. Big W will be stocking my book nationally

If that isn’t results I don’t know what is.  Even writing this list has blown me away!

The biggest benefits are that I have a solid foundation of my brand and business I can grow successfully.  I have tools and resources I can rely on to take it to the next level and beyond.  And let’s say in time I do something completely different I  have an arsenal of knowledge with steps to start, grow and whatever it is successful.

What I enjoyed most about working with Angela was her support, enthusiasm, strategic abilities, caring, understanding, a wealth of knowledge and resources, contacts, connection, fun, inspirational, gentle but firm when I needed a kick up the bum.

I would absolutely recommend any woman, regardless of being a first-time entrepreneur or starting a new direction in business or revamping an old one, to work with you.  You have the goods for working strategically but from a place of wholeness, wellbeing, and heart.  You talk and walk your business.  It exudes the wholehearted message you want other woman and their business to achieve.

You care and support the women you work with.  You help them find the pieces that are missing in their business and within themselves.  Once the pieces are placed in the puzzle,  you realise anything can be created, achieved, expanded or even changed…That works for me!

I am grateful you came into my life.  Not only have helped my book find its place in the world but you have helped me grow into the person I have always been but was too afraid to show.

I was looking for guidance on how to work out what my offering was and how to get my business off the ground…beyond concept stage when I discovered Angela. I had explored what I was good at and what my zone of genius was but was not sure how to turn that into a profitable business. I kept second guessing myself and my self-doubt kept stopping me make decisions.

I felt from the very beginning that she was someone who not only had great professional experience but also had the right life coaching skills to support me and my development holistically.

Working with Angela over a period of several months saw me develop my business from a range of interesting ideas and areas of interest into a tangible business. I learnt so many skills around marketing and business development as well as more personal skills like how to find balance, how to set boundaries, and how to press on even when you feel like an imposter. I won my first 5 figure contract, developed a website, defined my ideal customer, and sorted out my product offering. I also gained tremendous confidence and learnt some valuable life skills on managing my energy, my family and my emotions!

I didn’t expect the level of self-knowledge I gained. I learnt so much about the beliefs that were holding me back, the mindset shifts I need to make and simple yet powerful tools to support me on my journey. I also loved all the templates and tools Angela shared with me…..and the hands on held when things were really hard….like writing my capability summary!

Angela is smart, supportive, real, professional and holistic and she has the right balance of business knowledge and emotional support to help women on their next chapter journey. I think we all suffer from self-doubt and lack of skills/knowledge at this stage in our lives. Working with Angela made me feel anything was possible. That I was supported and not alone on this scary yet exhilarating journey. Being a woman, a mother and a business owner meant there was nothing she didn’t understand or couldn’t help with.

Building something new is scary. Being a mother with many responsibilities is challenging. Sometimes it can be overwhelming and all seem to hard and unobtainable despite our best efforts. Having Angela on my support team made it seem possible. She dealt with every challenge that arose with such heartfelt, wise counsel – she came into my life at a time when I thought it might be all too hard. I needed someone to hold my hand and say you can do…let me show you how and Angela did that!

I think how far I have come…I now believe I can do it! So thank you thank you thank you from the bottom of my heart.

From the minute I heard of Angela and the work she was doing I knew I had found a kindred spirit. I resonated with her business working with midlife women, her own personal beliefs around setting women free from self-doubts, self-sabotage and limiting beliefs. There were also  other traits that ticked my boxes, her generosity, her openness and her own commitment to her growth personally and spiritually.

I did two online programs with Angela that helped me enormously to start laying the foundations for my own business. I have attended both Angela’s ‘Next Chapter’ 2 day live conferences in Sydney. In-between  these 2 conferences I invested in The Flourish program with Angela. I decided I needed some more intense personal coaching from someone and it was a no brainer that Angela was that person.

I am a visionary and it was strategies  I needed so I could get confident in the marketing and sales side of things. In my first session with Angela she agreed with me and we set about forming a framework that I could develop for my business. I had an event coming up and I was determined to receive an income from it. Thanks to Angela I did. Two top paying clients that are still working with me six months down the track. Angela held my hand energetically as I stood up in front of sixty women and did my first upsell, including stating my fees. This was a stretch for me but I knew Angela had my back. She rang in the morning to wish me well, she checked up on me the next day to see how I went and then she celebrated my successes with me. From this initial success I have gone from strength to strength.

I have spoken to other women who have invested in coaches and I didn’t get the same sense of satisfaction from them that I have had with Angela. I dug deeper with these women and I believe what was missing was the clarity right from the beginning. Angela made sure both of us were clear on what I was hoping to achieve from my investment. It was like I had a G.P.S set so we both knew where I was headed and then we could use this as a bench mark to constantly check in that I was heading in the right direction at all times. And I was and I have arrived!

At Angela’s first conference I was an observer and was quite passive in my behaviour. A year later I was on fire. I spoke at the event, I did some amazing networking and I was praised constantly by women who had attended both events at the enormous change in me. There was another woman there who  also attended both conferences and had worked with Angela. I saw such a blossoming in her and this enabled me to own my success.

Angela has helped me to catapult my business not only with her wealth of skills but also in her ability to help me build my own confidence and belief in myself. I truly believe no-one can succeed if their self-worth is in tatters. I now celebrate so many things in my individual style. I have thrown my beliefs away around not being a sales and marketing person and now know I am and have always been a natural net worker and connector. I am now constantly watching that I don’t over give, that I don’t rescue all my clients and I don’t devalue my work or myself by under charging.

I owe this incredible transformation to Angela. She constantly nudged me and stretched me but always compassionately. She shared her own resources, her own knowledge and believed in me to have me as a podcast guest, a speaker at her event and a recent appearance in her new e-book. I now see myself as her colleague and a friend rather than her student.

Lastly if your business is stagnating and not progressing and you are doubting yourself all the way then Angela is your girl. If you are in transition and need some clarity around your Next Chapter business Angela is your girl. If you have some self-worth and money issues that are keeping you playing small then Angela is your girl. Go and book a chat with Angela now!

I chose a Business Strategy session with Angela to gain clarity about where to strategically focus my energy to reinvent and relaunch my business after completing a long sabbatical to complete my doctoral dissertation.  From this session, I developed a broad plan and some immediate actions to work on. Angela is a joy to work with – she is approachable, knowledgeable and experienced – the perfect combination of traits for me to partner with to redesign my business moving forward. She asked just the right questions at just the right time to help me clarify my thinking and make some initial strategic decisions.

I can highly recommend Angela to any individual or business wanting to hone their thinking and translate that into action to optimise their next chapter!

I was looking for guidance and support to bring new products and services to market and to generally raise my game in my already established business.

After working together in the sessions was that I decided to radically scale down some of the less profitable areas of working my business and I had concrete step-by-step plans for how to scale up the more profitable areas of my business.

The business plan that I’m putting into action now is much more coherent and focused on that sweet spot of profitable work that enables me to deliver my best self to my clients.

I also benefited from entering Angela’s wonderful network of women who are also playing a bigger game in their businesses and having fun and enjoying their progress along the way. The Business Mastermind benefited me enormously because it’s great to have a place where we can openly share our successes and get support when we are feeling a little wobbly or nervous about making a bold step.

Angela is firstly full of integrity when you work with her. I never got the sense that she was anything but a wholehearted supporter of me as an individual. There aren’t any hidden sides to Angela when you’re working with her. The only surprises you get are good ones!

She is generous in spirit and in her considerable knowledge of what it takes to bring the business to life and grow it to maturity and beyond. She is also the number one cheerleader of your success, and those successes start to mount rapidly after working with her.

The most important thing people need to know about working with Angela is that she is a great role model for how to be a wholehearted professional, she is extremely well networked so that if you want to know something and she can’t help you personally (which is very rare) nevertheless she can usually find and recommend somebody who can. She is great at drawing out the common themes and principles for creating successful businesses across different industries and sectors so that we all learn from one another as well as within our own businesses.

I recommend Angela’s services to anyone who is looking to play a bigger game in their business, who is maybe feeling a little overwhelmed and nervous about that, and who feels they would benefit from structure and encouragement without being nannied and bossed around!
