I’ve been nominated as a Better Business Pioneer!

It’s amazing what you can find when you Google your book once in a while. This week’s find was that it features on 2 lists of ‘best books for freelancers’.

I have been mentoring 2 candidates on the Help to Grow scheme for a few months now and was featured in their Meet the Mentor series. Read about why I took up voluntary mentoring and what you can gain from it.

A chat with Louisa in her Awesome Business Club about having heart-led businesses

After accolade numero trois for Falling Off The Ladder, a piece featured on the Yorkshire Business site.

It’s well-known that I used to be a teacher - in fact, I have worked at all levels of education from primary to adult and prison education, plus as support staff. But I have never really talked about how and why I escaped this specific career path before. In this interview I talk to Melanie about just that.

I recently had a lovely meandering chat with Claire about what got me into sustainability, how I juggle so many aspects of the business, my biggest challenges, and why photography is such a darn good hobby.

The Women Talking About Learning Podcast is, well, women talking about learning and development. Underrepresented in senior roles in the learning function, this podcast amplifies women’s voices talking about all things learning and development related.

In this return visit, I was invited to talk about all things empathy in learning and business with my fellow guests Lorna and Kristen.

Whilst I was swanning about in the rainforest it turns out I totally missed that this pod feature had gone live.

But here it is…better late than never. My first guest appearance talking about sustainability.

Bhavini had a few quick questions for me for her new interview series…and I approached with my usual grown-up sensible attitude I feel. Take a look and judge for yourself. 😂

I featured on the Inspiring and Pioneering women podcast with my gorgeous business coach Kirsty Waite.

In the first of two podcast features released this week I talk to Claire about rediscovering creativity in adulthood and the myriad of hobbies I now pursue and why.

Join me as I chat to three incredible business owners - Louisa Van Vessem, Bee Higgins and Emma Mulcahy - about how we all juggle our health issues with day-to-day life.

One of the most far-flung places I know the book has gone so far is South Korea, to the lovely Yeon Jung Kim. She is a big supporter of the book so it was lovely to chat to her ❤️

I was asked to feature in Eleanor Tweddell’s new series around the moment that I felt a door closed and another opened. Well… I’ve felt many doors slam in my face over the years, here I talk about those moments, and how they eventually opened the way for something much better.

On the Founder Wisdom Podcast I chatted to Charles Cormier about arriving to the end of a rough ride and learning to live and thrive with MS and advanced degenerative disc disease as an entrepreneur.

I spoke to Ruth Kudzi of Optimus Coaching Academy about how to thrive as a business owner and how being selfish can help you to succeed in creating boundaries. We explore how failure is part of success and learning and overnight success is not something which is real! and how money doesn't have to be your number one driver. This is all about growing a business on your terms.

This interview series was designed to help women find the courage within themselves to create the life they desire and deserve.

In this series, Elif interviewed successful women in their field about their journeys, what they’ve learned, and how you can apply it to your own life.

I was asked to feature on the Women Talking About Learning podcast again, this time providing a 3-minute soundbite about what confidence means to me.
