I would love to connect with other coaches, and in particular if you have a podcast I’d love to talk to you about the potential of becoming a guest. Recently I’ve been doing lots of media interviews for my latest book, Change Your Life in 5 Minutes a Day, but there are plenty of other subjects we could talk about.
I’m also available for public speaking and presentations on a variety of topics.
In terms of clients, I work with people who work in media, including TV, journalism and digital media professionals and am always looking for new connections in this field.
As a highly experienced coach, I’m happy to connect with coaches who are starting out to see if I can help in any way. Social media is a particular specialism of mine and I can help people get going on Twitter, Instagram and Youtube. I’ve worked as a social media manager for Warner Bros, run group training sessions on social media and written a couple of books on the subject so I know the field well. I’ve also run a successful blog for 10+ years, and had several books published so I’m always happy to share that knowledge and experience.
