Fab evening yesterday celebrating both the 30th anniversary of the and the opening of a very special exhibition about my dear friend Veronica, the Lord Lieutenant of Nottinghamshire.

On display are Veronica’s robes from her year as High Sheriff, alongside an inspiring exhibition about her life and her historic role as the first black High Sheriff of Nottinghamshire.

Huge thanks to the wonderful team at the National Justice Museum for hosting such a fantastic evening.

I was also proud to wear my Ambassador pin, supporting who work tirelessly to help women and children in the county to survive domestic abuse.

Had a fab day at this week, welcoming this year’s graduates and year-in-industry students. We explored the importance of building strong relationships, how trust is built (and broken) and the value of creating a personal support team. We also looked at empowered communication and ways to avoid minimising our voice in the workplace. A brilliant group of young professionals!

🎉Confidence & Self-Belief for Coaches (ICF Accredited) 🎉
Coaches aren’t immune to self-doubt. Yes, we know about mindset, labels and limiting beliefs - but that doesn’t mean we’ve got it all figured out.

❌ Nobody is immune to the inner critic.
❌ Nobody is immune to imposterism.

The Empowered Coach® is a practical short course for early-career, developing or returning coaches who want to build confidence and self-belief in their professional coaching practice. The course tackles the psychological barriers that can often hold coaches back, including imposterism, avoidance and fear.

If self-doubt has been holding you back in your practice, this might be just what you need. Details below.

📅 04 + 18 Nov 2025 | 09:30–13:30 GMT (online)
🎓 10 ICF CCE Units
💷 Introductory rate £400 (or 2 × £200)

Open to all - come join me!

You push.
You strive.
You earn the title.
You get the seat at the table.

And then...
You start second-guessing yourself.

“Am I really cut out for this?”
“What if they realise I don’t know what I’m doing?”
“I’m just winging it…”

You’re not alone - this is Imposterism.
It’s particularly common among leaders.

On 31st July, 12:00-12:30, I’m running a free webinar:
'The Boardroom Imposter'

We’ll explore:
✅ How Imposterism affects leaders
✅ How to manage your inner critic
✅ Practical tools to lead with confidence, not self-doubt

It’s short, sharp and free!
