Business Coaching Support for Women – Why Me?
Hi, I’m Vicki, and I help women get on track with their businesses so they can make a living doing what they truly believe in.
Creating and growing a service-based business you’re passionate about can be difficult without the right support.
I provide that support, along with impartial advice that can be hard to get from friends and family. I give you all the tools you need for business growth without overwhelming you.
I work holistically: we’ll deal with mindset and confidence as well, not just facts and figures.
Why me?
I’ve always been passionate about helping people and trained in counselling before moving into recruitment. My career eventually led me to a sales role for a $2 billion multinational tech company, where I spent 10 years fighting to meet targets & gain promotions.
In the end, it became clear that I had strayed too far from my original desire to make a difference, and I knew it was time to do something about it - that’s when I found coaching and I have never looked back!
Coaching and mentoring is my ‘WHY’
After some serious soul-searching, I reconnected with my purpose and set out on a journey of coaching and personal development. I retrained in Personal Performance Coaching, Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Team & Group Coaching, and Emotional Freedom Techniques (more commonly known as EFT or “tapping”).
Now I get to run my dream business on my terms and have built up a successful coaching and mentoring client base, as well as a large membership community of women in business. I’ve faced many obstacles along the way, including working while raising two small children. I have experienced many of the challenges women in service-based businesses face and I understand just how important good relationships and the right mindset are.
Together we can do so much more!
I’m a huge advocate of empowering women in business and supporting them by any means possible to grow in confidence and achieve their goals. I run eight Women In Business Network (WIBN) groups: seven in-person groups in the Thames Valley area and an international online group. We’re a supportive, inclusive, friendly, and professional network and many members make lifelong friends while they are growing their businesses.
I’m a perpetual learner, always with one, or two books, and several favourite podcasts on the go - working with so many different businesses constantly teaches me something new.
I live in a village near Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, in the UK, with my husband, Pete, and our two boys, Reuben and Isaac. I love the arts and am a personal development addict! Why not say hello and tell me a bit about you?

Would you like to be part of a supportive and welcoming community of like-minded businesswomen? I’d love to welcome you at one of my WIBN events.
