... I am the Founder of A Life Less Ordinary Wanted.
Here is my video application for the upcoming 2017 BBC Expert Women Masterclass.
It's the first time I've attempted the company 'elevator pitch' to camera. I had to also share an idea for a story I'd be interested in the BBC running linked to my area of work...
Read MoreValentines day fell upon us last week. Whatever you felt about it, it was pretty inescapable. A time where we’re reminded to show love in our relationships but how much love are youshowingyourself? After all you never need to wait a year to receive love...
Read MoreWe know we desperately need more transparency and accountability in the fashion industry but how can we get there?
Fashion has it’s roots in humanity over 20,000 years ago when the first human stitched together furs for warmth and protection and realised that clothing could also serve as a way to distinguish friends from foes. In approximately 5,000BC the rise of great civilisations began, firstly the Sumerians, then the Egyptians and then the Romans. For these empires, clothing was no longer simply a protective barrier from the elements, it started to evolve into decorative items of comfort and then hierarchical symbols of status and power....

Read MoreBack in June (How is it August?!) I joined the Yes for Europe crew for their 5th European Youth Entrepreneurship Conference. It took place in beautiful Budapest, Hungary and I had such a ball I've written a few posts on the trip since I got back.
As a part of the Conference, we were able to visit a few of Hungary's most successful tech start-ups. My favourite visit was our last to the HQ of Creative Software & Digital Media agency Pulilab...
Read MoreMany have misconceived hypnosis to be a mysterious, magical power. Some think that a person is kept permanently in a trance and can be made to do anything they wouldn't normally do.
In fact, on a simple level; hypnosis is a natural RELAXED state. In this crazy world we live in, think how positive it would be to have a less stressed, more peaceful, healthier nation whom are relaxed!
Read MoreLast month month I joined Yes for Europe for their 5th European Youth Entrepreneurship Conference. It took place in beautiful Budapest, Hungary and I shared an overview of the trip in a recent post here.
During the Conference, we visited some of Hungary's most successful tech start ups. Today I'm sharing what I learnt during at the Hungarian Headquarters of Ustream.
We were fortunate to hear from Ustream's VP of R&D Csaba Sipőcz about their decade long journey from idea to acquistion...
Read MoreWithin less than a week, the world as we know it has changed.
The outcome that we woke up to on Friday morning here in the UK has changed the course of history forever. The British public have voted to leave the European Union.
Our Prime Minister has resigned. The opposition party are calling for their leader to resign. We've lost our Triple-A credit rating. Racially motivated hate crime is on the rise. And we're only five days in. We are stepping into the unknown...
Read MoreEarlier this month I joined Yes for Europe for their 5th European Youth Entrepreneurship Conference. It took place in beautiful Budapest, Hungary and I shared my experiences in a post here.

Read MoreThis time last week I was strolling around Budapest in the sunshine. Enjoying my last few hours in that beautiful city with almond milk Cortado in hand.
Today I'm typing from my desk in gloomy, overcast South London. So please indulge me for a few minutes as I share what I got up to and what I learnt. Feel free to imagine the sunshine on your skin as you read on...
Read MoreSo you may have seen my excitable statuses online last week - I've got some great news to share with you! Last Saturday I pitched the Less Ordinary vision at the Start Up Brixton festival and we won first place!
This is the first time I've pitched for funding...
Let's talk Super Heroes!
Do you have a favourite Super Hero? If so, what is it you like about them? You might find that the characteristics you admire in them are also ones you would like to emulate more of for yourself.
Whether you love Spiderman or Super Woman, Catwoman, Iron Man or someone more obscure - I've got news for you - you have your very own Super Hero living inside you right now and they're waiting for you to invite them out to play...
Yesterday evening on my way home, I bumped into a gorgeous woman I used to play Netball with five years ago. She was excited to see me and her power hug and beaming smile took me quite by surprise (I was pretty crap at Netball!). Anyway she proceeded to tell me that my old team are now top of their league (go Kaizen!!) after five years of hard work and not giving up...
Read More- Do you have bad habits you want to break?
- Keep finding yourself in the same negative situations?
- Repeating unwanted behaviours that you can not seem to shift?
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) enables you to question these behaviours so you can get into the habit of breaking bad habits!
Awareness of the relationship between our thought processes and behaviours is key to dissolving bad habits. The goal of CBT is to explore your mental routines so that you can break free from conditioned thought patterns...
Read MoreThis is where we roll up our sleeves and get practical! You are likely to know what you need to do on a day-to-day basis to take better care of yourself. But you are unlikely to do it all. And even worse, we are all guilty of doing things that we know are bad for us. So let’s address this bad boy challenge first off with two questions...
Read MoreSelf Belief is about believing in yourself, your plans and your abilities, regardless of what the world thinks, says or throws your way. It’s about trusting in yourself and your potential, through successes AND failures. It's not the same as confidence, which is often seen as how we show up to the outside world. Self Belief is internal and all about your relationship with You...
Read MoreSo we are almost a quarter of the way through 2016. How on earth did that happen?! It seems like just yesterday that we welcomed in 2016 and kicked off the year with high hopes and New Year Resolutions...
Ahhhhh, New Years Resolutions, remember those? So full of good intentions and yet somehow by this time of year they've already drifted to the back of your mind...

You have things that you would like to see come to pass in your life and goals you would love to achieve. You know you have more potential than you are currently tapping in to. Personally, professionally or both...
