I am passionate about supporting ambitious women and unique learners who are on a mission to take charge of their career and learn deeply about themselves and their capabilities.
I’m Claire and I was diagnosed with dyslexia early on in my schooling. At age 11 I had the reading and writing of a seven year old and still getting my b’s and d’s mixed around.
Although the traditional schooling style and learning proved to be difficult for me, it did not hinder my ambition which is what has seen me successfully complete University and create a high achieving career.
This did not come without limitations and a whole lot of confidence and capability barriers that I had to navigate and work through. I would glide along in the background with a desire to grow and develop but really struggled with the belief I could and I often felt my ability and intelligence was not up to scratch and hid behind it.
I have always known, dating back to high school days, that I would use my dyslexia as my superpower to help and motivate people. I just needed to work through my own personal barriers so I could stand true to who I am and be an authentic example of what IS possible.
I had to detach myself from the label of being dyslexic and the stigma I created for myself.
I needed to change my limiting beliefs.
This is what lead me to here …
I have (and continue to) dedicate my professional life to learning, development and educating myself on the power of the mind, inner beliefs and clearing negative thought patterns.
This helped me navigate those emotions, gain clarity and instill confidence in my ability and know that I am, actually, intelligent.
As a career coach I couple my professional career experience developed through a decade of hands of marketing experience, student engagement and project management over a diverse range of industries, and my personal breakthroughs to bring to you, grounded, relatable and modern mentoring.
I truly believe we all have the capability to thrive. I am here to support you in standing true to your own self, releasing any attachment to labels and throwing off limitations so you can feel confident and capable of stepping into your own genius.
