What I offer

Individual & Team Mentorship

Individual & Team Mentorship

Individual and team mentorship programs for those who want to make their next move. I help my clients create a roadmap and achieve their next meaningful milestone.

Public Speaking

Public Speaking

I kick-started my public speaking career with a TED Ideas talk in December of 2024. Now, I do panel discussions and keynote talks for large and causal business events (both online and in-person). My aim is to leave the audience feeling inspired and motivated to act on what they've learned.

Marketing Strategy & Consulting

Marketing Strategy & Consulting

I help organisations of all sizes craft strategies that define, attract and retain their target audience.

Helping Organisations Deliver Hair Days for Children in Care

Helping Organisations Deliver Hair Days for Children in Care

As part of the Crowned with Care initiative, I help organisations deliver hair days for the looked-after children in their care. This ranges from charities and non-profits to local councils. And we deliver everything from hair appointments to hair product packages and education through workshops.

Team Structuring

Team Structuring

I help organisations identify the gaps in their team skillsets, decide who to upskill and who to hire to create teams that produce record-breaking results.

Brand Messaging and Positioning

Brand Messaging and Positioning

I help organisations of all sizes define who they are, what they do and what they stand for, the end result being a Brand Book that everyone can be proud of and stick to.

The Mane Cut Podcast

The Mane Cut Podcast

Each week, I interview celebrity textured hair stylists to understand what it really takes to build a career in TV, film or fashion as a hair stylist by uncovering their stories.

Experiences

Collaborating with 15+ black-owned, UK based, hair and beauty brands to provide users of Mane Hook-Up with valuable discounts. Giving users access to quality products and brands access to customers who are ready to buy from their business.

Supporting Fellow Founders

Supporting Fellow Founders

By sharing snippets of my experience as a founder in a bi-weekly newsletter, I aim to help others on the same journey. Each week I answer the many questions people have such as how to set up a business (while juggling life), product development and overcoming the challenges of being a team of one.

Find Your Why Campaign

Find Your Why Campaign

I led the production of CharityJob's first advertising campaign (Find Your Why) in order to reach a new market segment called career shifters. This included working with an advertising agency to produce three, one-minute, video advertisements and measure their impact on the business.

Sprint Training & Strength/Conditioning
