Last week I had to practise what I preach when it comes to Imposter Syndrome when I had a panic attack in the middle of Lake Windermere. I'd signed up for my Open Water Lifeguard qualification and felt like a total fraud. I was right in the middle of the lake, trying to keep up with the other swimmers, when I swallowed a load of water, which triggered a panic attack. This is the raw, authentic story of what happened to me... AND the EXACT steps I took to break free of my Imposter Syndrome. Did I pass my qualification? Listen to find out...

We all know how important it is to be visible when you’re running a business. We know how vital a personal brand is, and the importance of credibility. But it can feel excruciating showing your face, even when you know you should. It can feel terrifying speaking out and using your voice, even though you’re really passionate about the thing. It can be paralysing to try to take the big, bold moves you really want to, but are petrified of messing up. Today I want to talk about how to shift your thinking about this topic, so you not only do the thing, but it feels great when you do it. This is a powerful conversation that has the potential to completely reframe how you show up.

Everybody I’m speaking to seems to be overwhelmed right now. Overwhelmed, burnt out, too many tabs open. Part of it is the time of year, school admin seems to be off the charts at the moment, and the looming school holidays throwing everything into disarray. And even if you don’t have kids, there is a LOT going on – the election, the Euros, July being a nightmare to schedule anything, clients cancelling, the algorithm on here going bonkers. So many people I’m speaking to are feeling frazzled, and a lot of fear about how business is going – it’s genuinely tough out there for a lot of people. You’d be forgiven for just pulling the duvet over your head and waiting until September when normal service resumes. In today’s conversation I’m going to teach you some vital stuff. Not only how to rise to the challenge and get everything done that you need to, but how to develop a bulletproof mindset so that whatever is going on externally, doesn’t even touch you. Sound good? Let’s go!

Do you feel successful as an entrepreneur?  Are you achieving what you set out to achieve?  How can you measure your success?  And if you feel successful now, are you done, or are you ready to go for your next level?  We’re talking about some big questions in today’s conversation.  Big – but really important.  So many of us set off on the adventure of entrepreneurship, so busy doing the do that we forget to look up and check we’re still heading in the right direction.  Or we achieve what most people would deem success, and look around and it just feels hollow.  We set an ambitious target, absolutely smash it, and just feel numb.  Today is all about reconnecting (or quite simply connecting) with what success means to you.  I promise you’re going to feel excited and empowered as a result of this conversation.  _____________________________________  I’m bringing together a small group of female entrepreneurs for a brainstorming session this coming Friday afternoon (12th) at 1pm, on the best ways to build success, wealth and freedom in your business, whilst remaining an authentic leader.  There’s no charge for the session, but there’s a strict criteria on who it’s for.  It’s for women in business, female founders and entrepreneurs who have big dreams for their business, but are stuck in the weeds and on the financial rollercoaster. Who know they need upgraded strategies and a confident plan in order to reach their next level.  You must already be making good money in your business, and looking for more efficient and easeful ways to build revenue and impact.  If you’d like to be considered for this free session, please drop me an email at [email protected] and I’ll be in touch with the next steps.  Claire 

This week I got a call from an old client, an HR business owner.   “I think I’m self-sabotaging and I can’t stop it”  She was so frustrated, and kicking herself because she was no rookie.  She’d nailed her vision, her values and she had a cracking service offering.  And yet – she couldn’t quite break through a plateau.  Every time it looked like it was certain this time, she was going to bust through to a new level, something would happen, and she’d be right back where she’d started.  And she was tenacious – she knew how to pick herself back up and get on the horse.  But it was getting harder and harder, and she was losing the faith.  She was 100% right – it was self-sabotage at play.  This is the story of what we did to get her to recognise how she was self-sabotaging, why she was doing it – and what to do about it.  ----------------------------------------------------- Have you read my book on Imposter Syndrome in female entrepreneurs?

Say what you like, entrepreneurship is not for the faint hearted.  While fortune may well favour the brave, having the audacity to run your own business can bring you to your knees.  Often, women come to me when they’re in a pickle, when they’ve thrown everything at it, and have had dark nights of the soul and are questioning their very existence, never mind if they’ve got what it takes to run a business  Today’s conversation is about real talk.  It’s raw, it’s vulnerable, it’s honest and I’m going to overshare on some of MY stuff.  Today I am speaking directly to you if you feel like this. If you’re on your knees, if you don’t know where to turn – and yes – you’re panicking.  This is exactly what I would do – and have done – to totally turn my ship around and go from screwed to smashing it.  ---------------------------------------------- Have you read my book on Imposter Syndrome in female entrepreneurs?  Go download your copy now HERE – it’s free!  #femaleentrepreneur #entrepreneurmindset #resilience #womeninbusiness #authenticleadership #impostersyndrome

These are the 10 Signs of Imposter Syndrome in women, that indicate that’s it time to do something about it!  I shared this workshop twice last week, and it was so impactful and eye-opening I want to share it with you too.  I invite you to play along – grab a pen and paper, and see how many resonate with you.  In this conversation, I reveal that doors are open to my Imposter to Impact Academy.  If you’d like to explore the signs that have resonated with you, and whether the Academy might be a good fit, check this out.  #impostersyndrome #femaleleaders  #femaleentrepreneurs

This has probably been one of the busiest months of my life, and I’d love to share some reflections with you. • Living my values with my kids and husband • Beating my Imposter and winning an award • Finally achieving the no.1 reason I set up in business in the first place • Capering in a lake with lovely clients • Creating and running the most impactful coaching series I’ve ever done There are some key lessons I’ve had along the way, so grab a cuppa and join me for this conversation.  #authenticity #awardceremony #values #femaleentrepreneurs

Buckle up, this is a raw and hot off-the-press conversation Have you ever been nominated for an award? If you have Imposter Syndrome as well, this is the ultimate stress test for IS. I’ve helped so many clients over the years get over the Imposter Syndrome about being nominated for awards, and be able to properly celebrate and bask when they win, or deal with the upcoming stuff when they lose. Well, last night it was my turn and this is the perfect case study for what I want to talk to you about today. I got nominated for my 1st award, and have been through the full rollercoaster. So while it’s raw, I want to unpack the story in today’s conversation. If you’ve ever struggled with Imposter Syndrome you’re going to want to stay tuned for this one. ___________ During this conversation I make an invitation to join for the Imposter Epiphany, a free coaching series I'm running next week (20th-24th) This is for you if you want to learn how to get Imposter Syndrome to pipe down, and end 2023 on a total high.

One of the biggest problems women come to me with is overwhelm. Female entrepreneurs still feel a massive pressure to be Superwoman, to hold all the things, to juggle a million balls and to prove they can have it all. And the truth us, most of the time they're smashing it. But just sometimes, this can tip into overwhelm. Into a to-do list of competing priorities, all urgent. Into the final straw that breaks the camel's back, and makes them feel like just giving up. Into procrastination, and wasting time on low-value tasks. In today's conversation, I'm going to teach you how to take back CONTROL of your day. And how to let go of the STUFF that's filling your head, so you stop wasting your time, talents and energy.

"I just want to get through it" "I'm planning on surviving it" How do you feel about October? I've had the above comments a few times this week and so wanted to address them. Often when we're overwhelmed and getting stuck in the weeds, we lose sight of the big dream and just concentrate on the day to day. This is a huge problem, because you end of having about 10% of the impact you could be having, and end up feeling rubbish and lost. OR you might be doing incredible things - they're ALL high value and high stakes - but you're so stretched and desperate to get it right - you're not enjoying and celebrating your success. So what can you do about it? Today I'm going to share one of my favourite coaching models - the Aligned Impact Pyramid. It's going to change your life - enjoy. Download your free template here.

Fear of 'Derek' is one of the biggest blockers I see to women creating the business they dream of. It stops them saying what they really want to say, and sharing what they really want to share. It makes them tone down their voice, apologise for their opinion and find excuses not to press 'post' or do that video. It’s that fear that Derek is going to show up and troll them. This makes me so mad, and so let's talk about it. And in this conversation I make an invitation to come join me for my upcoming coaching series. To help you get joyfully, unapologetically visible.
