Helen Ebdon is a business and executive coach and the founder of the groundbreaking Take15 program.
Helen is a lifelong business owner who trained as a graphic designer and started her first business at 25. Her business was incredibly successful but she was exhausted and stretched to her limits. And… she was stuck. She says it felt like being on a treadmill she couldn’t get off.
Helen became what she calls – “a time management expert who doesn’t believe in time management”. She supports executives and business owners who are feeling stuck or bored in their work, to take back control and move forward in a meaningful way.
In this conversation, Helen shares how she learned the hard way about building a successful business, her framework for tackling big or unfamiliar challenges, and using your creativity to get out of your head and achieve clarity.
Highlights:
- Feeling like an imposter: The challenges and uncertainty of running a business, rather than being employed as an expert in your field.
- Recognising the gap in small business information: Helen explains how her experiences in building and selling her first two businesses led to her career as a business coach.
- Getting stuck procrastinating: Understanding your motivations to find what’s causing you to procrastinate, especially when you really want to get something done.
- Finding “expanders” to show you the way: Seeing what’s possible for you by finding others who have achieved what you want to do.
- Tackling a big challenge: Helen explains her process for tackling a big or new challenge that is unfamiliar and uncomfortable.
- Tapping into your creativity to solve problems: Using mind mapping to get ideas out of your head and onto paper to find the clarity you need.
Join us as we delve into Helen’s insights on understanding your motivations, breaking challenges down to manageable steps and using your creativity to get unstuck and create the momentum you need.
