16. COACH - Julia - redundancy - emotional rollercoaster - self-employment - business development
Episode description
The coaching conversation is with Julia, a landscape architect who was furloughed after maternity leave with her second child and then made redundant. We’re talking just a few weeks into Julia setting up her own practice when she says she’s riding an emotional rollercoaster and struggling with the idea of business development.
We talk about:
- structuring her time
- focusing on one thing at once
- finding different ways to build connections with potential clients other than networking events.
