Do you have a project - a BIG dream or goal - you need help and support to achieve?

Your project - whether it’s a ‘have to’ or a ‘want to’ - does not have to be BIG by anyone else’s standards. It’s a BIG deal to you. You know some support would make all the difference and turn something that is draining you (because you’re trying to go it alone) into an experience that feels manageable, achievable and maybe even exciting!

Here are some examples of things you may need Project Coaching with…

  • You’ve been dreaming for years of writing a book but have no idea where to start. How to structure the writing process; how to keep yourself motivated. Or you’ve already written the book but it’s in a drawer or on a file in your laptop and you need to get it edited and then there’s the next steps of publishing, launching and promoting it.

  • You’re trying to balance an already busy life and NOW you’re also signed up for self-directed learning like a PhD. Do you need help with any of the following? A framework, setting achievable goals that are aligned with college submissions, someone to keep you accountable and motivated?

  • You’d LOVE to start or grow your passion into a viable business but you’re so busy and distracted that it keeps being put on the back boiler and you’re frustrated with yourself as you know this is what you’re meant to be doing.

  • You’re going through a tricky separation / divorce. There are simple tasks to do that seem impossible because of the underlying emotional issues being triggered. You need someone who understands what you’re going through who will support you firmly but gently so you can get through this nightmare and start to live again.

  • You’ve wanted to sell your home and /or relocate but you’re not sure to where and / or there are other people and their lives to consider as well as work so it’s taking up head space but you’ve no plan, no research done…it’s still just a pipe dream.

  • You’re at a crossroads in life and know this is an opportunity but it’s so long since you allowed yourself to dream or try new things that you’re not sure what or where to start and / or your confidence has been eroded and you need a boost to believe in yourself and your dreams again, as well as support making and implementing a plan that is right for YOU!

I’ve personally gone through and / or already supported friends and clients with all of the above. I know what it’s like to be at the rock face. I know the relief and sense of achievement when you’re out the other side. That feeling of ‘Job well done!’ I also know the feeling of dread and frustration when you’re stuck without a plan or support.

Here’s how I can help…

I’d LOVE to work with you to create a bespoke package that can include any / all of the following:

  • a realistic time frame to complete your project

  • a complete list of all the elements to achieve an excellent outcome

  • a plan to tackle and execute all the elements

  • regular one to one sessions to plan, manage and acknowledge progress and success

  • use of tools and techniques to address and clear any blocks that are stopping you succeeding

  • anything else that we mutually agree we need to address to ensure you enjoyably achieve your goal

What should I do now?

If all of this is resonating with you and you want to explore working together, please email me (link below) to book a FREE assessment call. In you email please briefly outline the nature of your project, your deadline, the type of support you need and the best days / times for our call.

The purpose of the call is to assess if we can both work successfully together. I will not be offering you solutions or a plan during this call. If we are going to work together it’s important we are a good fit for each other. I might not be the right coach for you or the timing may not suit us both. I’m sure you will have questions for me too!

feedback from a business coaching client

I was so honoured when Victoria Ann Wright, Vix Pix reached out in May 2022, to see if I would be the right person to support her in developing her new business as a Pet & Nature Photographer. Victoria has completed 321 Focus (my online course) a few times and gradually allowed herself to be more comfortable being visible. It's no secret that when Victoria and I first met as participants of an online business course in February 2017, she didn’t even like to be seen on Zoom. (We’ve spoken about this in a video interview in 2020.)

After an initial discovery call where we worked out a framework that would best support Victoria, we got started and have had calls at 3-4 week intervals ever since. I have been amazed at Victoria’s progress. The lady who was once too shy to be seen on Zoom is now collaborating with AMAZING partners for her work…AND making videos in front of the lens! Do checkout Victoria’s Instagram page. She is an AMAZING photographer with a great eye and the ability to capture something special in your pictures - I think it’s LOVE!

This is Victoria’s second video in front of the lens. She offered to do this to share her experience of our coaching journey together. I hope you enjoy!
