About Real
I'm not here to tell you what you want to hear. I'm here to help you get where you want to go
Business & Career Development Coach · Networking Specialist · Founder, Real Life Events Ltd
My story
I've spent over a decade helping people build businesses, careers, and the confidence to pursue both.
Through coaching, community work, and sitting in rooms with founders at every stage — from seed idea to scaling — I've seen the same pattern repeat itself. Talented, driven people stuck not because they lack the ability, but because they lack the structure, the clarity, and someone honest enough to help them see what's actually in the way.
I started Real Life Events to be that for people who don't always see themselves reflected in mainstream business coaching.
"Most people don't fail because they lack talent. They fail because they've never had the right person in their corner."
No generic frameworks — just guidance built around where you actually are. No fluff. Just honest, accountable, results-focused support.

Beyond the work
Outside of coaching and community work, I'm a mum to teenager, a natural connector, and someone who genuinely believes the relationships you build are the greatest asset you'll ever have — in business and in life. I'm also conducting original research into how people really network and why the traditional advice fails so many of us. If that resonates, I'd love for you to be part of it.
