 AM I RIGHT?
HI! I'm Sophie
I'm going to call it. I'm pretty sure i'm right. I get all of this, I KNOW this. HOW? Because it was me 2 years ago.Â
My Story
Two years ago I was on the edge of burnout from a successful, 20 year career as a corporate strategy, technology and people leader.
I was disillusioned, not living my values and not having the impact I knew I was capable of.
I had lost my sense of self, my identity and belief in my abilities. It took a chance encounter and a wild leap to realise that IÂ could do something with my unique experience, and with my skill set. It took more months still thinking about it and putting it in to action, and longer still to build it into a viable business.
But it’s not just possible, it’s absolutely achievable. I'm going to help you do it and in a way that can help drive greater fulfilment, and harmony for yourself and your family.
Why you should work with me?Â
I get it. You might be wondering:
- Why her when there are so many coaches and mentors out there?
- What does she bring to the table that others with years of coaching experience and long client lists don't?
- Why isn't she all over social media with flashy videos, limited-time offers, and hype?
And you know what? Your concerns are totally valid. But here’s the thing: I'm NOT your typical coach.
I'm a business consultant and mentor. Here’s what that means:
- Coaches facilitate personal growth and self-discovery, helping you unlock your own potential.
- Mentors provide advice based on their experiences, offering perspective on next steps.
- Consultants analyze data, provide insights, recommend solutions, and often help execute those actions.
I combine all three roles into one.
With 20 years of consulting experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge in strategy, operations, technology, and people management for both product and service-based businesses. I've mentored colleagues and individuals, helping them grow personally and professionally.
Growth Pod lets me wear both hats. I support you through mentoring relationships with frequent conversations, check-ins, brainstorming, and working sessions. I bring my strategic and analytical skills to your business launch, without the hefty consultant price tag.
For me, it’s a win-win. I get to mentor incredible female entrepreneurs like you, helping you launch a business that makes a positive impact. You get a mentor with unique skills and experience, adding value through every conversation and teaching you tools and frameworks you can use over and over again.
Â
If you work with me, I’ll help you:
- Take your rocks (ideas) and turn them diamonds (viable businesses).
- See the potential in YOU, your ideas, your strengths and skills and help you craft them into your USP
- Develop a growth mindset and get excited about your potential.
There's no space here for self doubt - it's the biggest blocker to women who are trying to launch or grow a business, and we're going to vanquish it with results. Â
 I’ll also:
- share resources and frameworks and more that help to develop your entrepreneurial skills
- show you how to use data to drive insight, be that external market data or your internal data, leveraging it to to reduce the risk of failure.
- hold your hand when you need to take action that scares you, and help you figure out the hard stuff .
- be your biggest cheerleader, an honest critique and give you my unbiased opinions and feedback.
- hold you accountable, and create a safe space to fail, pick yourself up and get going again.
-

I'm a mentor who believes in impact:
I promise to hold your hand and help you develop and launch your business idea, while helping you to develop a vision of success that works for you, a business plan that you can execute, and the self belief that you can do this.
I offer mentoring packages to fit everyone - whether you want to meet once a month or once a week. All of my packages include:
- 2 hour in person mentoring sessions
- Post-session briefing notes and actions
- Follow up calls to clarify actions and hold you accountable
- Group accountability working sessions where you can work through actions and focus
- Access to all my events, webinars and meet ups
- My online platform of resources and tools
- Private WhatsApp support and access to my WhatsApp community of likeminded entrepreneurs
It’s up to you how and where we do this - I work out of an amazing and inspiring co-working space with great coffee called Nasab. We can brainstorm in private in my workroom and through ideas around on a whiteboard - and you can stay for the rest of the day to turn ideas into action. If that doesn’t work for you, we can do online while you juggle your existing job, kids and everything else you have going on or we can catch up regularly in your local coffee shop - whatever works for you, wherever you feel more comfortable.
