Being diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma a year after launching my online product put a big speed hump in the marketing of the business as I had to focus on my treatment and getting well.  Nearing the end of my chemotherapy treatment, I had spent four months focusing on my health and needed a ‘jump-start’ to get my head back in the right frame of mind to get back to my business.

I was looking so forward to getting out of the house and hospital to enjoy the company and conversation of other women in business.  The wonderful ocean side location was definitely a bonus as watching the whales and listening to the ocean was good for the soul.

A good coach brings out the best in the players without doing it for them.  A player already has skills they bring to the game, but a coach looks at the player as a whole and brings their weaknesses forward and develops them so they become as strong as what the player already brings to the game. And so Angela doesn’t do it for you, she points you clearly in the direction you need to go and then it’s up to you to follow the plan to make your business prosper.

I got the jump-start I needed as well as a renewed focus on what the next important steps were to get the business marketing back on track and I’d recommend this experience for any woman who is stuck in their business and needs direction and focus to get moving again.

The retreat gave me the opportunity to be away from the day-to-day, think and plan what my next business steps should be. I also met a group of fabulous and inspiring women.  Women who are much further along in their business journey than I am and they were all so incredibly supportive and they were so generous with their advice. One of the best pieces of advice I received was to make sure I don’t try to do it all which is difficult for me, but I’ve had help to put in place strategies to make sure I don’t take on too much and end up overwhelmed and stuck!

I left the retreat feeling energised with more clarity about my target audience and business model, alongside an action plan for the next 3 months. I highly recommend taking the time away and investing in yourself. As leaders of our businesses we need to put time into strategic thinking and Angela is a wonderful support to help you get the outcomes you need to take your business forward.

Our first chance to work together was a retreat in which she took several business women up the coast and we spent four days diving in to our businesses. This was a perfect introduction and immersion in her methods and jump-started me into a fresh energised and focused business plan. I knew signing up for the year-long mastermind would be worth it.

In both the retreat and in the mastermind, there is a great mix of Angela teaching us and each of us teaching the others. She’s great at bringing out people who are feeling shy and making sure everyone gets plenty of time. She smoothly encourages each of us and gives gentle pushes back when needed. She demonstrates her values by being consistently generous, honest, and clear.

I am surprised how much value I’ve gotten from the mastermind with Angela. I have gained clarity on my most-aligned clients and how to reach them, on the structure of my business, and how to structure my life to make a successful business work for me. I’ve worked on both the big vision and the small steps to get there. I’ve also had the chance to share my own perspective and help my peers, and to feel part of a community of like-minded business women. I’m so glad I made this investment.

Thank you for a lovely few days. It was great to be able to slow down, indulge in a bit of self-care and really focus on what I should be trying to achieve.

You have an amazing ability to unpick and drill down into our beliefs and goals to make sure we are really on the right track to being happy and designing our business the right way to achieve our goals.

I love the way you call us out on our misconceptions (and bullshit!) but in such a beautiful, authentic and fully supportive way that I never feel ‘stupid’.

There wasn’t a single moment when I didn’t feel so supported, connected and loved by you and the other ladies – just the way I am – insecurities and all.

That’s why I’m coming away from the retreat full of confidence and practical strategies to really improve my business and life.

Thank you!

The retreat was fantastic both in terms of me getting clarity on what I wanted that pivot to look like but also how to manage the pivot. I have done so many planning workshops, downloaded a multitude of 90 day plans and Angela’s is the first that had the structure I needed to flow from my big picture down to what I needed to do on a day to day business in a cohesive manner.

While much of this clarity is down to Angela and the systems she has in place to guide you, I don’t think I would have gotten as far as I have in such a short time without the opportunity to get out of my normal environment and work with women in a similar situation.

I am feeling excited again about my business and what I want to achieve with it. If your business isn’t lighting you up any more then I can’t recommend working with Angela enough!
