SELF-BELIEF
A really important issue crops up time and time again in the coaching work I do, which is when my clients struggle with self belief and tell me they feel unsupported by friends and family. Often it’s problems with a partner who is not appearing to be 100% behind the business – so that when … Continue reading…
I hated the sight of blood
I became a lawyer originally because it was my parents’ dream. We were a working class family, and because I was a straight-A student it was presented to me by the school careers advisor “you should be a lawyer or a doctor.” My parents got wind of this and weren’t interested in my pleas that … Continue reading…
