Welcome…
Life can be tough, and I’m not sure it’s about being “tougher” per se. We’re all going to navigate life’s highs and lows, and if we allow, they give us an opportunity to learn about ourselves and grow because of them. I aim to inspire others as they navigate life’s inevitable challenges. We cannot control everything that happens to us, but we can control how we choose to respond, and rise up because of those challenges. Rumi famously said “the wound is the place where the light gets in”, and if we allow, the toughest experiences can provide us with the opportunity to let the light in, and pursue richer, more fulfilling lives.
When I was 36 years old my husband died of Blood Cancer. At the time he was diagnosed we had a four month old daughter, I was suffering from postnatal depression, I was scheduled for major corrective surgery in a few days and I was running a full time PR business. Less than a year later he was gone. Prior to this I’d navigated bouts of severe bullying, redundancy, and chronic health problems of my own. I’ve tackled marathons and triathlons, been a competitive body builder, and I’ve started up, and grown a successful PR company in the midst of a recession among numerous other challenges. Along the way I’ve learned more than a thing or two about overcoming adversity, navigating uncertainty, and creating a mindset that ensured no matter the challenge, or emotional upheaval - I would find a way to not only survive but to thrive again.

PR BOOTCAMP
My first 8 week Bootcamp in 2021 was a huge success! The absolute first and only of its kind in New Zealand, I worked with 9 incredible businesses who each came out of it with their own 12 month PR calendar and strategy and all the tools and know how to implement it!
If you’re a start up or small business who just doesn’t have the budget for a PR specialist yet, get in touch. I’m opening up a few spaces to run another PR BOOTCAMP, where I teach you or someone in-house how to generate your own publicity. This time it’s a 6 week online bootcamp and will provide you with access to my own potent PR IP I’ve perfected over the last 20 years. All the industry know-how wrapped up into a 6 week experience to kick start and grow your new business or supercharge your existing business model including weekly online coaching sessions with clear topics and themes, email guidance and tuition, and weekly homework projects.
You’ll come out of it with your own strategic 12 month PR calendar to put into action immediately. Get in touch, register your interest below.
