It's time to break free of imposter syndrome and level up your Career...
Introducing Transitions.
Are you standing at a crossroads in your career plagued by feelings of self-doubt, fear of failure and procrastination?
You have landed here because you are experiencing the crippling effects of what the 'experts' call Imposter Syndrome. You've been doing the certifications and training to fill all the knowledge gaps you 'think" you have. It's not helped.
You've been reading all the self-help books, listened to all the podcasts, and you mentally trying to overcome these feelings...but you remain stuck in this unhealthy cycle.
Perhaps you are even spiralling into a deeper fog of despair and inside, still looking to prove all of the ways you don't fit in or worse, self-sabotaging?
​
These patterns and beliefs run deep; you believe that everything you do must be perfect, you procrastinate when you don't know the answer and you people please instead of expressing your own thoughts and needs.
​
Despite everything you may have achieved thus far in your career and life, there's still a niggling lack of confidence and a belief that 'they know more than you" or "I'll get found out".
​
You are well equipped and have all the tools to give but when situations arise that require you to step into your power you run, freeze or fawn. You can change job, company, manager but the truth is that this problem is about what's going on inside you so no matter what you change on the outside, the problem isn't going to go away.
​
This change you seek requires you to understand the power of transitions.
the cost of not making a transition
In the ever-evolving landscape of work, change is the only constant. As a human, you will often resist change instinctively, yet when you choose to welcome and embrace it, that’s when significant transformation occurs. Change is situational, but transition is the psychological and emotional process you must go through to integrate change because you cannot have a new beginning without something ending.
The ending you are seeking to your feelings of unworthiness, self-doubt and fear of failure will only come when you truly examine what is keeping you stuck in these self-harming patterns of thinking.
​
The consequences of not addressing your inner feelings of lack will have significant implications across all aspects of your career and life;
​
-
Earning Less as your lack of self-belief holds you back from advancing up the career ladder.
-
Career Stagnation because the perfectionist in you chases the prizes instead of the process of learning.
-
Loss of Trust as the masks you are wearing hide your true identity and your talent from those who could support you most.
-
Consistently Failing in your career and life goals because you are stuck in a freeze of doubt about what is best for you.
-
Burn Out as your feelings of unworthiness drive you deeper into over-work to avoid you perceived pain of failure.
-
Poor Working Relationships because people pleasing means you never learn the value of healthy conflict resolution.
-
Fear-Based Decisions continue to run your life and block you from fulfilling your potential.

Ditch The Doubt & Take Back Your Power
You've heard one possible version of the future should you continue to allow your imposter syndrome to run your life and career, now let me take you on a journey into another version of the future that is entirely possible for you. In three months time, you have ditched the doubt and taken back your power.
Picture this, you've secured the next major leap on your career journey and for the first time, there's an inner knowing of your value and a rock solid mindset. Where doubt and fear used to creep, you now stand in sovereignty and strength after doing the inner work necessary to transform your imposter syndrome into fuel for your growth.
In the words of boxing legend "Marvellous" Marvin Hagler, it's time to feed the faith and starve the doubt! If it's not the next career leap then maybe it's fulfilling a long-held passion by starting a side-gig to bring more meaning and connection into your life. The point is that to arrive at that new beginning, you must let go of these thoughts and feelings of unworthiness.
How can my Transitions programme help you? It's obvious that you have a change problem otherwise you probably wouldn't be here, right? Except change is not the source of your struggles. Change is natural, it's happening all of the time and it includes the new responsibilities in your job, the promotion, shifts in ways of working, new leadership, new strategy and all the stuff you have to navigate in your job.
Life too has it's changes including shifts in relationships, adjustments to lifestyle, moving home and all the grown-up parts of our world.The true challenge you face is transition which is the human side of change and it's the place you must meet yourself fully in order to let go of these feelings of self-doubt, perfectionism and fear of not being good enough.
The journey of transition can be broken down into the 3 distinct stages, each one holds significance as you tread the path of moving beyond your imposter syndrome.
Stage One (The Ending) is the phase where you confront the painful emotions that are keeping you stuck on the imposter loop - they may be the source of the discomfort or a product of the discomfort. It doesn't really matter, the only way through this stage is feeling and witnessing the accumulated emotional charge that is perpetuating the feelings of unworthiness.
Anger, grief, frustration, sadness, self-criticism, fear and rejection can surface until you arrive at a place of acceptance and compassion for yourself.
​
Stage Two (The Neutral Zone) is a sort of no man's land where you have looked the perfectionism, people pleasing and fear-based decision-making in the eye and cast off the heaviness you once felt about yourself, your talent and your place in this world.
In the neutral zone, you are no longer attached but your new beginning has not yet been made manifest hence nothing is solid. This is a challenging state to inhabit because the false beliefs of the past have dissolved but you have not fully channelled your innate power and authenticity, the key ingredients needed to welcome in the new mindset and new beginning.
Stage Three (New Beginning) is the moment you rise like a phoenix from the flames and engulf your life with your inner fire. This is where you plant your new rock-solid mindset in the centre of your life and radiate confidence, creativity and self-belief. Starting something new can be daunting but learning the power of transitions gives you the resilience you need to succeed.
Whether it's a new job, a promotion, taking on a side-gig or just stepping into your life with confidence, this is the phase of your journey where bloom to your full potential and let the world see your gifts without the niggling doubts of imposter syndrome.
I have given you my formula for success but if you want an experienced coach, with direct experience of overcoming imposer syndrome and a track record for helping over 500+ on their own personal transformations then join me on the Transitions programme.

Programme Details
Prepare Phase - Setting Foundations
Deep-Dive Into Your Journey
Begin your journey of transition with a 90 minute screening of your current career and life situation. This preparatory step sets the scene for the work we will do by asking you to get radically honest about the thoughts and emotions you are entertaining, the triggers for your imposter syndrome and any experiences that may have negative consequences for your ability to trust yourself.
This is about building trust within yourself, humanising your journey, and getting real about your experiences. It's a vital point of connection with me as your coach as we create a relationship of deep trust. Safety in the coaching connection is critical, we cannot make progress as a team unless we understand and trust each other.
Diagnose Phase - SPOT System
SPOT Method
Learn the powerful SPOT method I have designed to empower you to identify when the thoughts and feelings of doubt, fear and unworthiness are coming up. In a short space of time, you will be able to quickly understand the triggers that are keeping you stuck and most importantly, learn an approach that will help you reposition these triggers.
Gratitude Journalling
You will receive a free YouRevolution Gratitude Diary and a Worksheet on how to utilise your Gratitude Journal and the SPOT method to reframe your imposter syndrome.
Define Phase - Transformational Coaching Sessions (6x)
Transformational Coaching
Jump fully into the transformational power of the Transitions programme with 6 x one-to-one coaching sessions that allow you the space to explore the feelings and thoughts of imposter syndrome in the context of taking action to resolve it.
Areas we will focus on include:
- Past Experiences and how they may be blocking you from maximising your career potential
- Beliefs and how change the beliefs you hold about yourself and others is key to overcoming imposter syndrome
- Recurring Patterns and how these are feeding the narratives that keep you stuck in a cycle of lack
- Your Blueprint For The Future and it's importance for arriving at a new beginning beyond imposter syndrome
- Action and why it's only through conscious, inward action can you move beyond imposter syndrome
- Measures of success and how this feeds your thinking and actions around imposter syndrome
Implement Phase - The Energetics of Imposter Syndrome
Curated Session
This step is an in-person or online session designed to take you deep into your body to reveal, and resolve, the energetic manifestations of imposter syndrome. After your experience of working through imposter syndrome using the Transformational Coaching framework, it's time to put your intention to be free of the baggage that's holding you back into an energetic container.
Unfortunately, you can't just talk your way out of imposter syndrome hence I will facilitate a powerful energetic process that aims to clear the unhelpful energies you are holding within your energetic body. This step is curated with you and may involve several powerful modalities including breathing, bodywork and energy healing. This will be facilitated over a day or evening depending on what tools are being utilised.
I may also bring in additional facilitator support to help guide this process of inner transformation depending on what tools we agree are best to help you overcome the fear-based programming. For in-person, we will work together on the arrangements that best support the outcome you need to work through the energetic signature of imposter syndrome.
This is a potent step on your journey forward, a breakthrough moment for you to come to deeper insights and experience yourself beyond the limitations of your mind.
Sustain Phase - Wellbeing Videos On-Demand (x6) and an Integration Session.
On-Demand Video
In preparation for your new beginning and life beyond the grip of imposter syndrome, you will have access to 6 On-Demand Wellbeing Videos to help you anchor your progress to solid daily practices that will sustain the transition you are moving through. These Videos were developed in collaboration with one of Scotland’s most successful Coaches and are available anytime and accessible for life.
Integration Session
The final step on this journey is an Integration session, lasting up to 2 hours. This is a space to unpack the journey and reflect on the progress you have made. It will be a chance to align your goals and celebrate your success in a safe and supportive environment.
Meet Your Coach
Founder, Coach & Facilitator
My mission is to support people like you through the trials of imposter syndrome and build an incredible career. I have worked through many challenging transitions in my own life, each one serving as an initiation to new levels of self-understanding and expansion.
From the loss of my brother, which triggered the start of my own transformation journey, navigating divorce as a father and moving through destructive patterns.
​
However, the biggest challenge I have overcome has been imposter syndrome and never feeling enough in my career. In 2020, this came to a head when I found myself out of work and facing the prospect of perceived failure, largely due to my own imposter syndrome.
​
But, with some perspective, inner work, coaching and acceptance of my journey, this turned to be a salient moment where I resolved my imposter syndrome and my career and life have scaled to new heights.
After doing this work, I was able to add £30,000 to my base salary within two years, become a global Head of People and launch my own wellbeing business (YouRevolution).
​
I am living proof of what's possible when we ditch the doubt and embrace our power.
Over the last few years I have been working with hundreds of people through my coaching, retreats and events and helping them through their own unique transformation journey. The major theme I have witnessed most has been the recurring problem of people never feeling enough and how it holds them back from achieving the life and career they want.
​
Through skills as a Coach and Facilitator, combined with my lived experience and my transitions framework, I want to help you build an incredible career that brings you the financial fulfilment you are seeking.
