Copywriter & Copy Editor

For me, the thought of working with a coach was confronting and fear-inducing. I imagined being pressured into unsettling strategies, being upsold to a big-bucks personal development program (possibly even a yoga retreat!) or being revealed as a professional fraud.

The actual experience could not have been more different.

Angela helped me find clarity amidst the overwhelm of too many clients, too many projects and too little direction. She pinpointed where the joy is, what projects make my heart sing, and what industries get my creative juices flowing. The results have been extraordinary, rippling beyond business and into my personal life.

Angela began by setting about transforming my overwhelmed mindset and supporting me in reinventing the way I do business. She helped me identify the negative speak inside my head (most days it was shouting at me) and, together, we developed a vision focused on how I want my business to look and feel.

That vision keeps me focused… it’s my blueprint and my compass, especially on those odd days when my instinct feels clouded.

She showed me how to look to myself for solutions, to trust my own instincts, to give myself permission and to approach my work (and my world) with a whole heart. We built strategies to help me transition, including scripts for saying no, ways to re-package and market my services, and tips for networking with purpose.

I now have the tools I need to keep the momentum going. The results are tangible: I have a fresh logo, a “feel-good” promotional postcard and a whole-hearted new approach to communicating with my clients. I’ve farewelled some clients along the way, refused some projects and am attracting more and more of the “feel-good” people and projects I love.

I’m enjoying an amazingly positive relationship with my work – I’m much more creative, honest, open and brave, and my clients LOVE me for it. I am enough.

Angela simply “gets” me. I never feel that I’m being fobbed off with boilerplate solutions. She listens wholeheartedly and tailors everything to my unique situation. She knows when to push and when to yield.

Working with Angela is a revelation … she gives everything she has: savvy business know-how, absolute intent, cut-through thinking, unwavering support and a wholeheartedness that’s truer than true.”
