‘Strategy Sessions Which I Don’t Want To End!’
Over the last 10 years, Claire has been my ‘go to’ person whenever I’ve needed the
combination of a great listening ear, intuitive understanding, and the proverbial
‘kick-up-the-bum’ whenever I feel self-doubt creeping in.
More recently, these have evolved into Strategy Sessions, which I love... sometimes
too much! I don’t want them to end!
Before having one of these pearls of gold and much wisdom, I find myself lacking
clarity, have too many things on the go, feel frustrated, and tend to lack some
confidence and self-belief, which is causing procrastination.
As a solopreneur, you need an effective ‘team’ around you, even if that means
calling on other professionals to fill in the gaps and give you a boost. Claire is
definitely a significant part of this team for me.
Our Strategy Sessions have helped me to pause, reflect, plan and take action.
The time and space to pause is a rarity when you work for yourself, but it’s well worth
it. On a personal level the time with Claire has helped to reinvigorate me and given
me a confidence boost in key areas of self-doubt. On a professional level, it’s helped
me take a step back, get out of the minutiae of running a business that you can get
sucked into, and work strategically.
Some of the goals I’ve achieved working with Claire in our Strategy Sessions have
centred around planning a particular area of my business to help it grow. They tend
to focus on either gaining more clarity, more options, or more confidence to take
action ... sometimes all 3!
As I’ve known Claire for a while now, we’ve developed a high level of trust, so I have
no reservations in asking for a Strategy Session. I know she’ll be that sounding
board, that person who will ask the questions I can’t think of, as well as those difficult
ones that I tend to avoid! Claire’s great at this. I always come away from our Strategy
Sessions feeling more strategic and with a big smile on my face!
If you’re thinking about working with Claire, arrange a chat. You’ll get a sense of her
energy, her ability to listen and discern what would help you most, and her raw and
supportive honest approach. If she can’t help you she’ll let you know, and refer you
to someone who can. But if she can help you - you’re in for a treat!
