We often think achieving a goal is about working harder, but the truth is it’s just as much about letting go. If you’ve been chasing the same goal for years, the real question might not be “Why haven’t I done it yet?” but “What’s been holding me back.. and what would I need to leave behind to finally move forward?”

September feels like a fresh start. Discover how to reset after summer, set goals, and ease back into work with clarity and purpose.

Imposter syndrome doesn’t always walk in loudly. Sometimes it creeps in quietly, dressed as “I’m just lucky.” Or “I’m not really qualified.” Or “One day they’ll realise I have no idea what I’m doing.” Sound familiar? You can be incredibly capable, even outwardly successful, and still feel like you’re winging it behind the scenes. Like everyone else got the manual, and you’re just hoping nobody asks too many questions.

Summer is here, and if you’re a working parent, especially one leading a team or running a business, you might already be feeling the pressure to be everything to everyone. You’re still expected to show up for your role. Your team or business needs your attention. But at the same time, there are children at home, holiday logistics to coordinate, and an invisible pressure to create magical summer memories. And underneath it all, a quiet question starts to creep in: “What version of me am I supposed to be right now?”

Confused about coaching, mentoring or therapy? Discover the key differences and find out which type of support best fits where you are right now.

One of the most transformative things I’ve learned in my journey as a coach, and as a human being, is the value of deep, uninterrupted listening. Not listening to reply. Not listening with one ear while thinking about your own experience. But real, focused attention that gives someone space to think for themselves.

If you’ve never worked with a coach before, it’s completely normal to wonder what actually happens during a session. Will it be like therapy? Will I need to bring goals? Will they give me advice or a plan to follow? The short answer: no. Coaching is different - and in many ways, that’s what makes it so powerful.
