Press Pause

Life is full of transitions - some chosen, some unexpected, some forced upon us: a global pandemic, relationships starting and ending, the arrival of a new family member, children leaving home, stepping into a new job, redundancy, the loss of a loved one. However significant or mundane, such events all have one thing in common. They represent a moment for us to press pause, reflect on our reality, and make changes that will help us unlock our full potential and live a life of fulfilment and purpose.

I have had the privilege of coaching clients across the globe - including senior business leaders and high performers - through times of change. Whether their 'press pause' moment has been work-related or personal, I have found that most people struggle to leverage the opportunity out of these transition points. By the time they come to me, they are often frustrated by their inability to break their old patterns and truly step into the life they are striving to lead.

And so I wrote this book - as a guide to navigating change. By dividing the process into clearly defined steps and posing a series of key questions, I want to offer a structured and mindful approach to the self-reflection we all go through during a life transition - something that can often feel confusing, frightening or challenging. Press Pause provides a clear and positive path to identifying what is important to you, so that you can prioritise those areas in your life that you wish to recalibrate.

My aim is to help you overcome the obstacles - conscious and unconscious - that are preventing you from moving from one phase of life to the next, so that you can start living the life you want today.
