Enjoying my club consultant role with The FA Women’s National League, taking me to places such as Lincoln! ⚽️

The role sees me working with 12 clubs in Division One Midlands and helping them to develop across a wide range of areas as well as achieving Minimum Standards.

My consulting business (and - since 2021 - incorporating ) is 9 years old today!

When I left The FA in 2016 it felt a huge step into the unknown making the decision to go self employed, but it’s one I’ve never regretted. I have been lucky to work with some brilliant clients on memorable consultancy projects in sport and football.

My life coaching work now has two main focuses - athletes considering what to do after sport and men in midlife. It’s very rewarding work which I thoroughly enjoy.

Thank you to all those who have supported me to date and do get in touch if I can help you with strategy development, team building, or personal, career or life coaching.

Being self employed I’ve found it extremely helpful to develop and maintain a network of trusted colleagues who play the role of ‘team mates’ - people who will listen, offload, question, support, challenge, encourage, advise and in return I do the same. Also occasionally we can join forces on great projects!

Conversations are wide ranging and diverse but always through a progressive and developmental lens.

Here’s and I enjoying the great outdoors whilst asking each other some ‘curious questions’ about our businesses.

Who do you have around you playing these important roles?

It was great to be back at Wembley Stadium earlier this week for the conference - Women’s Edition, attending on behalf of

It was a packed programme of inspiring speakers and sessions reflecting the exponential growth of women’s sport, and provided an excellent opportunity to network, catch up and meet people in person for the first time.

It was also an ideal event and location for the Foundation to showcase and celebrate its Women in Sport Mentoring Programme which is underway now, supporting 20 athletes from a range of sports. I am working with 2 brilliant athletes on this programme and very much looking forward to helping them develop their future plans.

*New research about men*

One of the standout quotes in Caitlin Moran’s recent book ‘What About Men?’ is her statement that “one of the great sorrows of being a man is that everyone finds the male Mid-Life Crisis simply hilarious.”

But humour aside, the fact is that men of a certain age do have genuine issues and challenges and some of these are highlighted here in this new research report – Understanding Men in Midlife.

I invite you to take a read and let me know your thoughts – especially if you are, or know, a man in midlife!

The report includes sections on:
- Are men happy?
- The top 3 challenges faced by men in midlife.
- Who do men most commonly speak to about their emotions, fears and challenges?
- The percentage of men who feel that there should be more support for them in midlife.

The full report can be accessed here:

It is hoped that from the release of this research the conversations around men in midlife will progress further, and do let me know what the findings bring up for you and the implications for you, your team and your workplace with regards to men in their middle years.

So tonight I went along to my first meeting in Cambridge. It’s a charity that holds talking group meetings across the country, at 7pm every Monday, offering men a place to come together in a safe environment to talk about issues and problems they have faced or are currently facing.

The conversation was wide ranging, everyone was given a chance to speak and with no judgement.

A great initiative to get men talking, with free tea and biscuits too! I will definitely go back.

Hello! I am seeking the opinions of men aged 40-55 (ish) i.e. those in ‘midlife’ to understand the challenges they face, and what kind of support might be useful to help them successfully navigate through this important period.

So if that’s you or you know someone who could contribute, please see the following link to a short survey - https://forms.gle/59vYfD8o1uq1P1zu7 - thank you very much in advance!
