"I have known about some of the techniques you have shared with me, but I hadn’t realised how important they are in my business. You have given me some great ideas around promotions and marketing to implement in my business. Thank you!

Gina, Salon owner – Prahran, Australia

Being coached has been a real eye opener for me. I have created my ideal day in my salon as I had always dreamed of. My clients adore me and my staff and I have a successful business that feels like a holiday most of the time! Thank you for sharing your wonderful techniques. My life will never be the same again.

Cara, Salon owner - Melbourne, Australia

I was fortunate enough to have 6 sessions with Grace. Being a single mum, working full time (day job) and having my own home business, I have struggled to set goals, stay positive and keep motivated. Grace helped me to work out some strategies and techniques which have helped me enormously. Especially with my mindset in my stressful day job which can creep into my home business and family life. Each session was like an eye opener as I always came away with a new insight and feeling of inspiration and content. I would recommend coaching to any person who is struggling personally with themselves or professionally in terms of future direction. Don’t be afraid as it will be the best thing you ever do. Thanks Grace for your time, I enjoyed every session.

Janine, Business Manager – Wodonga, Australia

"It was so amazing! Straight away I felt being respected and safe. Safe enough to pull all my dark secrets out into the light. Looking at them under the light of this safe environment, gently but firmly guided through the process they didn’t look dark or scary and often vanished after the session. My life feels easier and more in sync with the real me. I can only praise and highly recommend being coached by Grace and starting my life over with a renewed view. Thank you so much!

Marlene, Health Care Assistant – Wales, UK

"In Europe and Australia, there is something called

the Tall Poppy Syndrome: People like to cut the tall poppies.

They don’t want you to succeed, and they cut you down -

especially people from your own social class."

Mark Burnett

For all the Tall Poppies out there, this book is for you.

It’s high time we respected the Tall Poppies and lifted them up.
