What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
In a predominantly digital world, I implement a human first ethos with coaching, helping brands and businesses to exude their true voice & values which consumers fall in love with.

The single most important thing that has contributed to my success is God. I give the glory to God for paving my paths in gold. Those golden pathways have led me to connect with self made millionaires who have coached and mentored me.

What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
I help non techy business owners navigate their social media and online marketing to make more than just ‘friends’. General and fluffy on socials simply doesn’t work. With the ever-growing stress to create consistent and relevant content, along with having to manage their profiles alongside their ‘business’, the bespoke roadmap they receive helps them navigate their socials with confidence and clarity. Having an ad-free income producing strategy ensures that their time online is cost effective, enjoyable and simply produces enquiries and customers.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
After moving to a new country and with knowing no-one, out of desperation (and with no marketing or tech experience), I taught myself how to do socials strategically and grew a 6-figure business without ads or outsourcing. This gives business owners the confidence that this works, along with the motivation to give this a try. I have since gone on to receive a diploma in social media marketing, however I believe that being self-taught initially gives me the ability to coach non techy business owners practically, at their level of experience and with their outcomes in mind.
