FAQS
ACT is all about helping mid-level female managers to awaken to what is possible for them and claim the role, impact and income they deserve...without the sacrifice. Having been there and got the T-shirt (and mug), I know what over-achieving, hard work and long hours delivers after a while: more hard work, long hours with a nice dollop of mental decline. Possibly a side-order of relationship breakdown. Seriously, let's stop this and get smart about where we want to go and get there without the burnout and sacrifice.

Am I a leader if I don't have the title? If you’re a mid-level female manager in a large organization, feeling stuck, unmotivated, and juggling life's responsibilities (like kids, community, parents), then yes—you are a leader. Your workplace might not label you as one, but let’s be honest—many of us have settled for less, even though deep down we know we're destined for more, with plenty of untapped potential. Imagine unlocking that with more ease and less struggle. Sounds familiar? Then this is for you.
Short answer: NO.
Long answer: NOOOOOOOOOO.
Seriously; I provide the tools, map and guide to help you move from your current state of work/life dissatisfaction, to one where you’re confidently in charge of your direction, vision and purpose, whilst being equipped with a new host of approaches to get you there without sacrifice.
Want to roll around laughing on the sofa with your kids, without the creeping feeling that you must stop soon and clear the dishes or finish that email?
How about replacing the habit of “finish work then start another one” after the laptop is closed to one when you flow and stay present? Together, we’ll create that reality.
This process is deeply collaborative—crafted by your intentions with options for a safe space to talk, bucket loads of support, expert guidance, gentle accountability and warm encouragement.
Hey, I’ve been in your shoes—I get it. Adding one more thing feels IMPOSSIBLE. But guess what? It’s totally doable. If you have got used to putting yourself so far down the list that the washing machine filter gets more care and attention than you, then it's time for a change. The fact that you’re even here means your moment has arrived. You need it, you deserve it.
The programme blends 1:1 and group sessions supported by a digital backbone for structure, reflection prompts and practical tools to work with between sessions.
This allows learning to land gradually, rather than being confined to live calls or long hours of after-work homework.

There are different cost options, depending on whether you choose to embark on the online-only course, or online course + group coaching or my top-tier offer of online course + group coaching + 1:1 coaching. Just book a brief call and let’s talk about what would work for you.
