June 15, 2021 11. 8 Ways to Maximise the Value of your Website
In this week's solo episode, it's all about Websites!
As a Web Designer and Launch Mentor, I always find myself to be a little triggered when I hear coaches and business pros advising telling their followers that they don't need a website.

So, I decided to take my own advice and got curious as to why. What I discovered is that I have a lot to say about misconceptions around web design and maximise the value of your website.

Your website CAN become a really valuable part of your digital footprint by applying these 8 tips.

June 08, 2021 10. Leaping from a corporate career into the unknown with Lou Hynes
In this week's episode, I am joined by the fabulous Lou Hynes of Lou Hynes Coaching.

Lou is a life, Confidence & Mindset Coach whose purpose is to empower professional women to take their future into their own hands, to help them rewrite the next chapter of their lives by helping them figure out what that looks like, giving them the tools to build their confidence levels and reveal their truest selves that they might have been hiding away for a long time! Supporting them in their own growth so they can explore a life beyond the boardroom and give them the confidence and courage to go for their dreams!

In this episode we covered so much...and I so enjoyed editing it that I forgot to make a note of all it. Here are the highlights:

1. Finding her purpose in coaching;
2. The true meaning of authenticity;
3. Finding fulfilment;
4. The transition from corporate cog to self employed coach;
5. Making empowered choices; and
6. SO much more!

More about Lou:

Lou is a Mum of 3 fabulous children, wife to Pete (also her best friend) and fur Mummy to puppy Rosie. She escaped the corporate 9-5 in 2020 after having her passion and confidence slowly eroded, even though she had no idea what she was going to do! Once Lou had worked on and understood her core values, it led to her having the dawning realisation that her purpose in life is to help other people, to shine her light as brightly as possible to give permission for others to do the exact same thing! She coaches purpose driven entrepreneurs who want to grow themselves and their business to reconnect with their values, purpose and mission, to release those old stories and limiting beliefs that hold them back, and to reveal their best, authentic and confident selves to the world so they can create the positive impact they're here to create! Lou has an impressive collection of designer heels that she no longer wears, has 2 hugely long scars on separate body parts (prizes for guessing where!), is a classically trained singer, can be found enjoying a gin & tonic on a Friday evening and loves a good giggle!

She is living in Leitrim, a rural county which has only recently had it's first set of traffic lights installed! She has a passion for natural health, wellness and outdoor activities and recently bought a kayak and enjoys splashing about in the many lakes, rivers and canals in the region. Having been made redundant in her last role in recruitment she decided to set up her own business and this journey started just before the global pandemic hit. As a qualified coach she had always had a desire to start her own business and this redundancy was an opportunity now to make the career change. By setting up her programme Stess Less & More Success for Recruiters she has been able to work with Recruiters and help them in their transformations so that they feel more calm, confident and re-energised in their work. This in turn has resulted in a more engaged and happier teams. Ultimately the results from her programme have lead to more interviews and placements and overall success.

May 04, 2021 5. The Gold is in the Goo
In this episode, I explain what the goo is and why it is not only OK to feel it but it is a necessary part of the evolution of your business, so that next time you feel it, you can identify it and feel confident in looking for the gold within it in the knowledge that it happens to us all.

Ever found yourself thinking something like "This is all SO hard, I have no idea what I am doing and I might as well give up" or just had no energy or enthusiasm for ANYTHING in your business when, only a few days before hand, you were flying so high and felt unstoppable.

Ever made a business investment so monumental that you have been crippled with self doubt for days, or weeks, afterwards?

That IS the GOO.
AND we ALL feel it from time to time.
And that is as it needs to be because, it is from within the goo that we find the gold that we need to take the next step.

(p.s. This was one of the biggest ah ha moments that I had when working with my first coach, Steph Heald - in fact, 'The Gold is in the Goo' are her exact words. Thanks Steph!)
