Hi, I’m Vicki, and I help women get on track with their businesses so they can make a living doing what they truly believe in. Creating and growing a service-based business you’re passionate about can be difficult without the right support. I provide that support, along with the impartial advice it can be hard to get from friends and family. I give you all the tools you need for business growth without overwhelming you and work holistically: we’ll deal with mindset and confidence as well, not just facts and figures.

Why me? Well, I’ve always had an interest in helping people and trained in counselling before moving into recruitment. My career took me into a sales role for a multinational tech company worth over $2 billion and I ended up spending 17 years in a busy, corporate environment, but it eventually became clear that this wasn’t the life I wanted! 

Coaching and mentoring women in business is my “why”

After some serious soul-searching, I reconnected with my purpose and set out on a journey of coaching and personal development. I retrained in Personal Performance Coaching, Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Team & Group Coaching, and Emotional Freedom Techniques (more commonly known as EFT or “tapping”).  

I get to run my business on my terms and have built up a successful coaching and mentoring client base. I’ve faced many obstacles along the way, including working while raising two small children. I have experienced many of the challenges women in service-based businesses face and I understand just how important good relationships and the right mindset are.

I’m a huge advocate of empowering women in business and supporting them by any means possible to grow in confidence and achieve their goals. I run seven Women In Business Network (WIBN) groups: six in-person groups in the Thames Valley area and a national online one. We’re a supportive, inclusive, friendly, and professional network and many people make lifelong friends while they are growing their businesses.

I live in a village near Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, in the UK, with my husband, Pete, and our two boys, Reuben and Isaac.
