How to reinvent yourself Gill:
You’ve reinvented yourself multiple times; which one are you most proud of?
AnYes:

Instead of stepping into victimhood, I decided it was an amazing opportunity to reconsider all my choices in life and business. I decided I no longer wanted to work as an Executive Coach, but instead focus on working with female entrepreneurs and business owners. I moved to London at 58, with just two suitcases and no income or savings. Less than three months later I bought the
“It is never too late to reinvent yourself. If I did it, you can do it too!” Central London region of The Athena Network, the UK’s leading female business network. I didn’t have the first cent to pay for it, but found a creative solution to make it work.

I help them create, on their own terms, the business that will sustain the reinvented life they desire.
