lovely to meet you, I’m Alex.
I’ve spent all of my career, (and the best part of 20 years) working for and with charities. I started as a volunteer when I was a student, and ended up as a senior leader.
I know how much making a difference means to you.
I know how difficult it feels to be constantly chasing your tail.
I know how it feels to give your all, but have little left for yourself.
I know the feeling of guilt, when you feel pulled between family and work, and that you’re falling short everywhere.
I know that impossible feeling of whether you should stay or go.
I know that work feels like family, even if it’s a dysfunctional one.
I know how responsible you feel for the wellbeing of your teams, and the communities you serve.
I know many senior leaders are struggling to make a difference at work, and feel happy & fulfilled outside of work. It feels like something has to give, but it doesn’t have to be you. You can create a life and career which makes a difference without sacrificing yourself.
My clients have:
Found ways to better balance work and life.
Learnt how to prioritise their happiness.
Stopped themselves from burning out.
Moved on to new charity roles.
