In my last post, I shared some of my top AI tools! Today, I am going to be sharing the rest of my rest AI recommendations - apps I have used to totally transform my business! 🙌

😎 ChatGPT for YouTube - For YouTube, ChatGPT for YouTube is a huge time-saver if you want a video’s key points and transcription without having to watch the entire thing.

😎 Answer the Public - Answer the Public is a brilliant tool for market research. It helps you discover the questions your target audience is asking about your product or service, making it easier to create relevant content.

AI tools to transform your business!

Over the next few months, I am going to be sharing the best AI tool recommendations that have totally transformed my business!

🙌 Gamma.ap - I highly recommend Gamma.app for presentations and slide decks. You can even create an entire slide deck directly from a prompt - no need to write the content yourself. It generates the deck in about 30 seconds, which is incredibly efficient. Or you can copy your text in. (Co-pilot also does this but not as well in my opinion!)

🙌 ChatGPT - For blogs, emails etc. I use ChatGPT for voice-to-text and then ask it to rewrite the content properly in my style, removing all the ums and ahs. It’s 100% AI-undetectable and works seamlessly! I also use it to write professional proposals, track my health and about a million other things! (Also a great tool for tips on how to deal with difficult team members!) ​

As a business leader, do you really understand the value of outsourcing?

23/4/2026

0 Comments

 
Over the past few years, you may have heard the term “outsourcing” being used more and more, but some leaders are not really aware of the difference it can make. Many organisations, especially smaller ones, assume that outsourcing it only for the big corporates.

Outsourcing is very similar to delegating… Ultimately, it’s getting someone else who is better suited and skilled at a certain task to complete it, rather than you! (Usually in half the time!)

What is the difference between outsourcing and delegating?

The truth is, very little! The only major difference is that outsourcing means to ask a professional outside of the business to undertake the task.

For example…

“OMG, I can’t believe you’ve got ADHD!”

3/4/2026

… said half my clients when they found out I was recently diagnosed.

The other half?

“Hmmm… That doesn’t surprise me at all!” 😅

My son was diagnosed with ADHD a few years ago, and as I researched ways to support him, it hit me like a lightning bolt: I do that. And that. And… oh wow, that too. Suddenly, everything about my life started to make sense. 🥹

The constant dopamine chasing through new experiences (hello, new businesses, partners, countries, and hobbies), compulsive eating, shopping sprees, fire walking, spiritual and psychedelic ceremonies (yes, really!). The racing brain that can simultaneously solve client problems and come up with a new business idea on the way to the loo at 2 AM (true story). It’s a gift, but wow, it can wreak havoc with your sleep! 🤣

Not long after my son's diagnosis, I was 99.9% sure I had ADHD. Full-on ADHD. And when I finally got the official diagnosis, I saw my life through an ADHD lens—and it kind of all made sense. 🥰

Remember… Leadership Isn’t About You, It’s About Them!

25/3/2026

One of the biggest mindset shifts I coach leaders through is moving from “me” to “we”! It’s surprisingly hard, especially for founders who’ve built a business from scratch. Their business is their baby, so it’s a big step!

Tom, the MD of a logistics firm in Leeds, had hit a wall. He was frustrated that his leadership team weren’t stepping up, and he felt like he had to make every decision himself! Does this sound familiar?

When we dug deeper, it became clearer to me what had happened…

Tom hadn’t actually let go! 🤦🏼‍♀️

The Power of Saying “I Don’t Know”…

2/3/2026

We often believe that leadership means having all the answers. But in my experience, the best leaders are the ones who are confident enough to say, “I don’t know.”

Take Rachel, the new Managing Director of a family-run construction firm in Kent.

She took over from her father and felt enormous pressure to seem sure-footed and decisive. So, even when she wasn’t sure, she pretended to be.

The result❓

How much trust has been built in your team?

As a leadership coach, I often say this…

“Trust isn’t a “nice-to-have”, it’s your currency as a leader. Without it, productivity tanks, innovation dies, and people quietly (or loudly) check out.”

One of my clients, Jess, a marketing agency director in Manchester, was struggling with high staff turnover. 

After implementing consistent one-to-ones and owning up to some early leadership missteps, she saw a noticeable shift. 

Engagement improved within three months, and her team became noticeably more vocal in meetings - with ideas and concerns. Twelve months later, turnover dropped by 40%. 

That’s the power of trust.
