What's on my mind?

Speakers of Change - a new platform Paddy Kennedy and I are launching! www.speakersofchange.com/about

We would love to have you involved and therefore are opening up the opportunity for you to become a supporter. We are looking for people who would like to be "Friends of Speakers of Change".

"Friends of Speakers of Change" are individuals and organisations who wish to support the platform at the ground roots and to be part of a growing community committed to meaningful dialogue, thoughtful leadership, and human-centred conversation.

INTERVIEW!!! Do you need to stand out?

So many of us don't know how to stand out at an interview. Many people believe they just show up and answer questions and it's a done deal. How wrong they can be.

Standing out is all about spotlighting the skills you are bringing to the table. Understanding how to talk about these skills within the power of a story.

Les Brown said, "If you want to make a point then tell a story, and if you tell a story then you better make a point!"

- Do you struggle finding the right stories?
- Would you like to understand the importance of stories?
- Are you scared to blow your own trumpet?

If you answered yes to any of the above, then my 5 week course will help you overcome those obstacles.

I've been there and I know how hard it is to go through an interview. I can remember thinking "I just have to answer their questions". I also thought "I just need to tell them my list of achievements" Little did I realize, until after the interview was completed, that this is NOT ENOUGH!

Interviews are two-way streets and you have to be prepared to ask your questions as well. One of the biggest mistakes interviewees make is not asking questions at the end!

This 5 week course is tailored specifically for people who like to learn together! Sometimes being on your own can be daunting. However, when you are with others going through the same experience, it is motivating and encourages you to do even more! To be your best self!

What's included:

- Reality Check - what you are good at already
- The Power of Stories - why they are important
- Mastering the STAR+ Technique - bringing the stories alive
- How to sell your assets - identifying those that are most relevant
- How to answer difficult questions - professionally and with authority
- How to interview the interviewer - know what to ask the interviewer

Remember, the interview is a two-way street! You have to be prepared to engage with them as well as they engage with you.

If you've gotten this far then I think you are ready to take that next step:

Long-Term Coaching: More Than Just a One-Time Boost

I’ve had the privilege of working with some clients for years—yes, years. And what amazes me every time? The continued growth. Every session uncovers a new insight, a deeper level of confidence, or a fresh challenge that gets met with clarity and purpose.

Coaching isn’t about “fixing” something—it’s about evolving.

If you're considering a coach—especially for long-term development—here are 3 key things to keep in mind when choosing the right one:

Consistency Over Flash
**Choose someone who shows up, listens deeply, and challenges you—session after session. Long-term results need long-term commitment from both of you.

Growth That Keeps Growing
**A great coach doesn’t run out of ideas or tools. They evolve with you, stretch your thinking, and always find a way to take you one step further.

A Relationship That’s Real
**Trust and rapport matter. You want someone who “gets you,” calls you out when needed, and celebrates even your quiet wins.

💡 Whether you’re in leadership, transition, or striving to make your voice heard more clearly—long-term coaching with the right person can be life-changing.

Don’t just take it from me—here’s what one of my long-term clients had to say:

Matt Wilkinson, Founder of Strivenn and AI Specialist. Matt and I have been working together for nearly 15 years and it is amazing to see the growth coaching...
