Bringing to light our inner strengths

Yes I am missing my family especially my three grandsons and I probably won’t be able to cuddle my new granddaughter when she arrives in early June. Yet I am finding some amazing benefits from this time of solitude. Life seems to have slowed down allowing me time to reflect and contemplate what will be important to me in my life going forward.

Probably like you, I have been tidying my wardrobe, work still in progress as I slowly change seasons. I have had time to clean the dusty neglected corners in my house. While tidying my workspace and attempting to get my paperwork in order I discovered a file containing documents relating to my previous career as a qualified coach. Before starting this blog I had spent over twenty years as an image consultant and coach. I worked with both private individuals and large corporations.

Bringing to light our inner strengths

We all have inner strengths and talents. The essence of coaching is to help people to bring these hidden gems to light.

I sense that many of us are in a reflective mood at the moment and maybe depending on our circumstances anxious about the future; so I have decided to share with you some powerful questions for you to contemplate.

What is important to you?

What resources do you have? (these can be both inner resources or external ie. friends family etc).

What strengths do you have that are helping you during these difficult times?

I write a fashion and beauty blog for women over 50 with the aim of inspiring mature women to continue to enjoy and have fun with their fashion choices. I have spent most of my working life in some way connected to fashion. I started my career in Fashion PR and then trained as an Image Consultant when my children were young. I subsequently worked in the corporate world running seminars, doing private coaching and speaking at conferences. I started my blog in 2009 as I wanted to share my years of experience working in the world of fashion. I truly believe we can continue to have confidence in the way we present ourselves. Our style may evolve with time and changing lifestyles, yet with a little knowledge and inspiration, we can all continue to have fun with fashion. As women of a certain age we are a growing demographic let us prove that we can also be a chic one.
