Empowering Clients To Get Unstuck, Walk Their Own Path, And Have A Great Life
Today’s ‘Inspiring People’ video is about Jessica Huie, honoured in the Evening Standard/02 awards recognising inspirational entrepreneurs, who founded Colourblind Cards.
At 17 years of age, Jessica became pregnant. When her father found out he responded with tears in his eyes, saying that all she “would ever be now was a statistic”.
Jessica became determined that this would not happen, and when her [Read more…]

Inspirational People – Christopher ReeveChristopher Reeve was a well known American actor, best known for his role as the super-hero “Superman”. In 1995, aged 43, Reeve fell from his horse and landed on his head. The accident shattered is 1st and 2nd vertebrae in his neck. Although doctors were able to repair his neck, he was left a paralysed from the neck down. Reeve powered his wheel chair by sucking or blowing on a straw to activate it.
Some people would have given up at this point. However he continued to fight his physical limitations with incredible strength, resilience and optimism.
It wasn’t easy for him. In fact the former Superman admitted that he cried every day dealing with the reality of being in a wheelchair. “In the morning, I need twenty minutes to cry,” he said. “To wake up and make that shift, you know, and to just say, “This really sucks”… to really allow yourself the feeling of loss … still needs to be acknowledged.” But after his long, hard cry each day, he would tell himself, “And now, forward!”
In some way or another, we are all prisoners in life – some by limited thinking, others by physical limitation. We must learn to navigate [Read more…]
Hi There,
Special Message: Do You Know A Woman In Their 30s or 40s??
The past few weeks I’ve been working away with whiteboards, notebooks, coloured markers and big sheets of paper, planning my new website and some wonderful new offerings.
One of the areas I’m considering offering my support with, is women in their 30s and 40s who have unresolved pains around the “whole baby thing”. For example, I haven’t had a baby, not sure if I want to or not … not sure if I could/should in my circumstances … etc.
What would be perfect is to have a huge room of my dream clients with me, brainstorming over coffee so I know I have everything exactly the way they’d like it, instead of guessing.
This is really hard to co-ordinate with people spread in different geographical locations, so I thought about the next best thing.
I’d love to hop on the phone with people just like you or someone you know (think partner, family member, friend, colleague …), to ask what their biggest needs are what they’d like help with. It’s my way of really listening and getting to understand them. I expect that the questions may take about 10 minutes or so and I promise, as a thank you, to stay on the phone afterward and to give them some guidance that they can implement.
Nothing to sell, as this is purely for research at this stage.
If you (or a person you know) would be up for this, and would love to contribute, then please just reply below and let me know and we’ll make a time to hop on the phone or skype.
With warm regards
Lisa
