Agency Survival
As your inner emotions been challenged throughout the year, tolerance levels have sunk; drained from balancing agency with home life whilst maintaining a calm, engaging persona for clients, children and your team has lead to;
Agency firefighting: Revenue targets, budget cuts, client pressures, you & your team’s wellbeing, home-working, redundancy, furlough; wow has it been demanding.
Loneliness in leadership: Flips between isolation and lack of connection to full-on project managing kids, parents & dog & as well as play referee, chef, empathiser & enforcer all from the kitchen table.
Running on empty: Your mind and body have been pushed to their limits to continuously find the energy required for agency & home life.
Relentless criticism: Reducing yourself to a list of character flaws; is exhausting and your confidence is slipping away and being replaced by guilt, shame and apathy.
Difficulty in Facing New Challenges: Are you even able to consider new possibilities, whilst living with such uncertainty and exhaustion?
Disappointment & resentment Understandably we’ve been on pause but there has been an unjust toughness to how its played out for you - it left you powerlessness; you're stuck in survival mode. Could it be time to thrive again?
Reimagine. Refocus. Re-energise.

What do I know about agency survival?
Agency life
For 16 years I worked through the ranks of marketing agencies, from PR, experiential, advertising, social and finally in digital technology platforms, I was building a working knowledge of fully integrated campaign delivery.
My experiences of agency life
The pressures at board level, the dysfunctional nature of teams, the daily challenges of client relationships, curve-balls of family life and the ensuing self-doubt, self-sabotage and loss of identity that occurs are nothing new to me. I have faced it, questioned it, allowed it to consume me and have successfully challenged it through my own coaching experience.
What I offer
I now enable females from the creative sector to thrive; to live and work with greater authenticity so as to become great leaders & role models for future generations.
Finding the time, energy & confidence to uncover what your need are, is what coaching provides you.
Why coaching?
Coaching empowered me to step into the unknown, embark on a career shift at a time when my inner voice said ‘not now’ & own my career development:
MA in Coaching & Mentoring
Academic paper: Effectiveness of shared leadership in fast-paced environments with cross-functioning & remote teams
Studied the impacts of wellbeing via UC Berkley courses on workplace Happiness, Resilience & Mindfulness
“It’s a space where you learn to care more about yourself, so you can have the space to develop others.”
— Nicola, Managing Partner
Signs of Living in Survival Mode
Survival Mode
How entrenched in survival mode are you?
How hyper-vigilant you have become to criticism?
Easily overwhelmed by circumstances that you’d normally manage effortlessly?
Ruminating moreover on past situations and fearing Monday morning?
Disconnected from, or apathetic towards your own needs?
Survival Rewiring
Living in survival mode creates physiological changes that have the potential to become our new normal.
Unknowingly we’re rewiring ourselves, resulting in feelings of disconnection, exhaustion, and detachment.
What starts to creep in is:
Self-doubt
Self-neglect
Self-sabotage
Self-confidence slips away & powerlessness creeps in.
