This Isn’t Coaching That Pushes You Into a Box

Why my approach to business support works with your energy, not against it

If you’ve ever walked away from a course, coach, or business programme thinking that just didn’t fit me, you’re not alone.

So much of the business advice out there is based on rigid systems, prescriptive formulas, or a one-size-fits-all structure that assumes you’ll thrive if you simply follow the steps.

But what if your steps don’t look like everyone else’s?

What if your brilliance doesn’t show up in a spreadsheet?

What if what you actually need is not a tighter plan, but a gentler kind of clarity. One rooted in your natural rhythm, your energy, and your way of doing things?

That’s where Focus & Growth Coaching comes in.

Working with your energy (instead of against it)

Here’s what I see often with the conscious, purpose-led entrepreneurs I support:

• You’re full of ideas, but the structure feels overwhelming.

• You get excited by possibility, but consistency feels like a battle.

• You know your work matters, but packaging and selling it feels misaligned, inauthentic, or just exhausting.

• You work differently, perhaps neurodivergently, or simply in ways that don’t match the corporate world, and you’re tired of trying to fit into systems that weren’t built for you.

And yet, you’re ready.
Ready to grow your business in a way that’s more sustainable.
Ready to move from “I think I can do this” to “I know where I’m going.”
Ready to feel clear, confident, and well-supported.

This is not about fixing you

You don’t need fixing.
You don’t need pushing.
You don’t need another productivity hack that burns you out by week two.

You need support that respects your individuality, honours your energy, and gives you the tools to create structure that actually works for you.

My coaching is rooted in listening, curiosity, and action.

We begin where you are. Whether that’s in the midst of multiple ideas, burnt out from trying all the wrong ones, or holding onto a dream you can’t quite articulate yet.

We explore what you need. Not what someone on social marketing told you to need.

Then we build a foundation. A vision, a business model, a way of working. Yhat feels right in your body and your mind. That’s sustainable. That allows for rest, creativity, real life.

And that keeps moving forward.

Structure, with softness

I work gently, but we get things done.
You’ll be supported and challenged — but always in a way that feels respectful, thoughtful, and manageable.

Whether we work together for 90 minutes, half a day, or over six months, you’ll leave with:

• A clear sense of direction and purpose

• A model that fits your life, not the other way around

• Tangible actions (that don’t leave you overwhelmed)

• The feeling that you’ve been really listened to, maybe for the first time in a long time

And you’ll stop thinking you have to do this all alone.

You don’t have to do it all alone

That’s one of the biggest myths in small business: that you’re supposed to know how to do it all. Create the vision. Do the admin. Keep the momentum. And stay joyful while doing it.

You’re not supposed to do it all.
And you’re certainly not supposed to do it all without support.

If you’ve been spinning your wheels, jumping from one idea to the next, or just holding a quiet fear that you should be further ahead by now, I see you.

Let’s meet you where you are.
And help you build from there — in a way that lasts.

With purpose
Clare

I’m an adventurer by nature. I’ve climbed mountains, dived into cold rivers, and snowboarded through whiteouts. But the kind of adventure I’m most drawn to is quieter: exploring what lies beneath the surface. Of people, businesses, decisions, and dreams. I want to understand what makes someone hold back. What finally gives them permission to leap. I want to notice the exact moment someone starts to light up again.

Most days’ you’ll find me coaching for CMR Focus + Growth, and building Conscious Entrepreneurs. Or, I’ll be watching a wren in my garden, listening to the hum of a bee, marvelling at the seasons of wildflowers.

If you want to work with a values-led coach who’s aim is to connect you with growth and purpose without losing focus and purpose.  Book a call – it’s free
