What was going on in your business and your life when we started working together? Business felt overwhelming and I was struggling to juggle the daily workload along with my own personal responsibilities as well as childcare.

What concerns did you have about working with Rosie? What were you hesitant about? It was the biggest investment I'd made in myself for my business so there was an anxiousness about whether I'd be able to make the most of it considering I was already feeling overwhelmed with no spare time.

Adding in another thing to worry about and work on felt counter intuitive but I knew I needed some support to help me cope and rewire my thinking in how I was approaching how I was working in my business.

I have gained the confidence to increase my prices dramatically and have managed to attract much higher end clients in the process.

How did you feel after one of our early sessions? e.g The Portfolio Review. I really enjoyed delving into my portfolio and look at my projects in a different perspective.

Rosie helped me look at it from a clients point of view, adjusting how I should present my work and how the benefits of working with me could come across in a more concise and direct manner.

What tangible results did you gain from our work together? I have gained the confidence to increase my prices dramatically and have managed to attract much higher end clients in the process.

This has helped me reduce the amount of clients I'm working on at a time and therefore reducing the workload whilst earning if not equal to, but higher than I was previously.

I worked an awful lot of nights and weekends in the past, trying to keep on top of everything I was working on to feel like I was in control of each and every account, this is now only ever done if absolutely necessary rather than every night, gaining me back my personal time to spend with my family so that I have a much healthier work/life balance.

What other results did you gain from our work together? Being aware of my personality type in a more direct manner made me question myself more in what I was doing and why. I've been much better at putting boundaries in place and sticking to them, giving myself more time rather than working to the bone to achieve an unnecessary deadline I put on myself to please my clients.

This shift in mindset and continual awareness of my perception versus the reality of the situation has been a great learning and one I will continue to practise going forwards.

What did you like most about working with Rosie? Working with Rosie has been a great experience, not only as a coach, but as someone to gain advice from in a very specific market. With her vast background in the fashion industry, Rosie truly understood the nuances of the trade and her feedback and direction with how to move forwards with pain points and business struggles was a great support.

I loved the beginning, working on mindset and understanding more about yourself, how you're built, and how you can shift your mindset to support your goals. I think was a great start to set you up.

Learning about getting into the real specifics about target clients and marketing was something I hadn't really delved into before and although a challenge, I've enjoyed researching and understanding how truly knowing who your target client is, can impact your business immensly.

How would you describe Rosie to a friend? How did she make you feel? Rosie has a calming presence, she brings everything back down to earth when you're feeling overwhelmed and encourages taking a moment to slow everything down and take a breath.

It’s so easy to be on a hamster wheel, feeling like you're running from one thing to the next with poor direction and overwhelm. Rosie’s calls were little sanctuaries of time and reflection in an otherwise crazy day.

What do you think would have happened if you hadn't hired Rosie? I would most likely still be in the merry-go-round of overwhelm, working most nights, lack of drive and poor work/life balance.

I also think I would have struggled with the confidence to increase my prices as much as I have, and therefore, not truly understanding my worth and what I bring to my clients.

What's your biggest take away from working with Rosie? I feel like I've been given the visibility of how I can help and support myself going forwards. Being confident about my skills and standing my ground more is also something I shouldn't be so afraid of.

Final message to someone who's on the fence about working with Rosie. Who would you recommend to work with Rosie? I would recommend working with Rosie if you're feeling stagnant, overwhelmed or directionless.

Rosie’s knowledge and calming influence helps you step away from the panic and anxiety of trying to do and be everything to everyone, regroup and find your direction.

Working more efficiently, finding the balance you so desperately crave and gaining the confidence you deserve in yourself.

Working with Rosie has been a great experience, not only as a coach, but as someone to gain advice from in a very specific market.
