What you really get when you work with this Comms Legend
When you work with me, you don’t just get a strategist, mentor, or trainer, you get me. A complete human.
I don’t leave my personality at the door, whether in an online one-to-one with a solo artist in their home studio, at the local coworking spot with a small business team, or sitting in the boardroom for a creative organisation’s leadership meeting. In human-to-human communication who we are shapes how we connect.
If you’ve read my Origins Story you’ll know my path to becoming the Comms Legend wasn’t exactly straight and my personality has always been part of the journey. So, here’s what that really means for you if we work together.
Warmth with a side of no-nonsense
I’m a warm, heart-filled, caring, considerate human who genuinely loves making people feel good about themselves in any way I can. I’m a champion listener and will make every effort to put you at ease, build trust, and create the kind of space where you feel comfortable to open up.
I’m also honest and pretty direct and like to help you keep things grounded in reality, practical and action-focused. So you’ll always know where you stand.
That all means I adapt my style to meet your needs, while always sticking to my principles.
Attention to detail, because I’m invested in you
I take a clear, focused approach and notice the details; not for the sake of perfectionism (because what even is that?), but because I’m invested in your success. You’ll feel that in the way I prepare, the questions I ask, and the way I spot opportunities (or potential bumps in the road) you might have missed.
Fully human, in every way
Although undiagnosed, I suspect my brain is the neurodivergent kind. I tick a lot of the HSP (highly sensitive person) boxes, and I’m an INFJ-T on the 16 Personalities scale. It means I’m super aware of myself and of you, your energy, and your environment, which helps me work with you in ways that feel right for you.
I also believe in sharing the lows as well as the highs. That means I’m as open about my mistakes, failures, and tough times as I am about my successes and celebrations. This isn’t about oversharing, it’s about being sincere, transparent and connecting as flawed but fabulous humans. It’s also about the fact I strongly believe in taking ownership and responsibility because that’s how I feel we all keep learning.
Life beyond the laptop
I value culture and community and feel equally energised dancing outdoors to live music, sitting in a dark theatre or cinema, at a gallery opening, supporting my favourite sports teams or joining in with the latest local event. Shopping, eating, drinking and being merry in support of small, local businesses is a total joy to me. And because I’m an extroverted introvert, I find inspiration and creativity in the buzziest of cafes or in the peaceful solitude of my home office.
You might catch glimpses of my love of a bright lip, trainers with dresses, or maybe the ear piercings or tattoos I finally got when I hit my 40s . These little sparks are part of what makes me me and what helps me bring fresh ideas, curiosity, and creative energy into our work together.
Guided by values
Everything I do is grounded in my values. They shape how I work, the way I communicate, and the relationships I build.
They’re the reason people trust me with things that may feel hugely personal, sensitive or highly confidential. And they’re why people trust me to help them show up clearly and confidently while being true to their own voice.

If you’re looking for someone who’ll bring clarity, confidence, and creativity to your communications and who’ll be as invested in your success as you are then we might just be a legendary combo.
