Ranya's top saboteur was the "Pleaser."

She was motivated to make other people happy first, often at a cost to herself.

So learning to say no more often was a big goal for her in our coaching.

The Pleaser is common amongst my clients.

Women are often socialised into this role from a young age.

Keeping people happy serves them for a long time—until it doesn't.

At that point, the only person who's no longer happy is themselves.

Recognise this?

Ranya talked with our Peak Resilience Accelerator group about a client requiring bespoke work.

She couldn't replicate the process with others.

The client wasn't even in her industry, so no loss-leading benefit.

As Ranya explained: "I mistakenly thought it was loss-leading work. But I can't do anything with it afterwards. It's just a loss."

She'd been working long hours, giving this low-paying client the same high standard she gave clients paying far more.

We'll explore your biggest challenge and whether a 12-month coaching partnership makes sense for you.

Most of my clients are employer-funded.

Yes, your company will likely pay for this and I can help you through that goal.
