If you run a small business, you’re very much your own boss.

Great.

Yet, for growth and to pay your bills, there’s no getting away from it: you need to generate your own leads.

Meeting people face-to-face is a great way to find new clients, colleagues, or associates. You may be feeling nervous, apprehensive or just plain terrified. Without a doubt, your early networking experiences could be daunting – not least in formal networking, including your sixty-second “elevator pitch”. Maybe it’s just not getting any better. What you say comes out wrong, or seems to.

And everyone else seems so amazingly poised and assertive!

Perhaps it’s becoming a severe anxiety; one that casts a cloud over each and every networking event, whether you need to present or not.

We carry whole selves with us when we go out networking. That “I’m not good enough” feeling may seep into other parts of your life, too. I’ve experienced crippling anxiety myself and have lived through what you may be going through. I completely relate. The truth is:

It doesn’t have to be this way.

Through breathwork, mindset coaching, working on your posture, and managing your own expectations, I’ll help you be the best you can be. This will be your customised toolkit for success.  

Let’s focus on visualisation, creating constructive statements of intent to help you internalise positive messages about yourself. You’re exceptionally good at what you do; you just need a little help to express your calm self-assurance.

Knowing that you’ve delivered your “pitch” or communicated clearly about your business will empower you to feel respected. And, that you’ve been heard.

Running your own business is a courageous act. You deserve to feel good about expressing who you are, what you do, and the message you convey to others. Engage with me, commit to and embrace change, and you could be a networking ninja before you know it.
