Case Study: From under-appreciated to in-demand

Sep 20, 2024

 

Madeleine (not her real name) was already a best-selling author and journalist when she came to work with me. She was successful in her field and respected broadly, but she was having trouble with a couple of clients and thought that her boundaries and confidence needed work. She also realised that she wanted to have more clarity on how she could restructure her work to facilitate more time for her outside interests.

As successful as someone is, it doesn't necessarily follow that they FEEL confident in themselves and in their brilliance, and Madeleine was no different. So we worked on her confidence to advocate for herself, how to language that in classy ways that fit her personality and how to face potential conflict without it feeling overwhelming. 

Madeleine was not only able to negotiate significant raises with regular clients, but one of her proudest skills was learning to turn down assignments where she was not going to be well-respected or given the freedom/ journalistic integrity that fits her values.

Madeleine has since risen in prominence and done so with assurance because she knows her inherent value, the value of what she does, and where it fits in the overall picture of the life she has chosen to craft. She is an absolute queen and watching her gracefully and confidently exercise her gifts never gets old to me!
