I’m Lucy, confidence coach and founder of She Coaches Confidence. I’m a people person, always have been, and love music, partying, dancing and running around after my kids. I adore my children, I love life and I am passionate about helping people to feel good about themselves and to unlock their confidence.
I left Lincolnshire at 18 and moved to London for my university years, followed by a seven-year career in magazine publishing. Whilst I loved the job,I struggled because I was low in confidence and desperately trying to hide it and so was faking my way through the job. Unsurprisingly, it was utterly exhausting. This carried on for years and years until, at the age of 39, I decided I’d had enough.
”The thought of speaking to a confidence coach initially was daunting, but from the first meeting with Lucy I felt completely at ease. She has a gentle and approachable manner - she is a GREAT listener - she is non-judgemental.
With the ability to gently pluck key facts and information from questions asked, and through carefully prepared worksheets, Lucy has helped me to remember who I am, understand things about myself, to carefully unravel the tangled mess in my mind by journaling and free-writing. Lucy has taught me to set small, achievable goals - tiny steps. I am learning to be true to myself by speaking out with confidence and making decisions, and I am so glad to be working with her one-to-one. She instils confidence!
I went on to train as a make-up artist and pushed myself to get out there and work hard as a junior MUA. I learned so much during this time, but again, my lack of self-belief in my ability to do my job and run a business meant that my drive to progress faltered and my confidence came crashing down. Are you beginning to see a familiar pattern in my life? I found so many things hard because I lacked the confidence to own them.
Eight years ago, I started developing my own confidence. I had to – I kept coming up against the same hurdles and I knew this would continue unless I did something about it.
I can tell you with every cell in my body that you have what it takes to be confident. From true confidence comes success at work, a more peaceful life, a balanced life and feeling truly content and happy.
