Polaris Coaching

Great day networking with at Business Lodge .

🧠 Brains seemed to be a theme, as several participants mentioned 'showing up as our best selves' and how their businesses helped with that in their own way. It complimented my focus on in Business Coaching perfectly!

Looking forward to those coffee 121s! ☕

Thank you to Gaynor Ramsden MCIM for the introduction.

Hello, I have an announcement! 📣
This page has changed from 'Wynne Marketing' to 'Polaris Coaching'. I am very excited to refocus on supporting business owners with mindset and wellbeing, having retrained as a Business Coach over the last few months.

Polaris Coaching is about guiding leaders towards balance and alignment.

✳️ It's about finding and living core values.
✳️ Creating a life of happiness, not just of success.
✳️ Following passions and intuition.
✳️ Creating a meaningful, purposeful life.
✳️ Building a business which reflects the real you.

Lead yourself first!

I'll help to show you how.

It's eleven years today since I started my journey into self-employment and what a rollercoaster it has been! To say my life has changed is a huge understatement.

⭐️ 2010 entrepreneurial life was building a few websites in my bedroom in the evening whilst working full time in a busy, full-on corporate marketing job and bringing up my 3 year old and 6 month old boys to...

⭐️ 2021, advising small to multi-million pound turnover business owners on the best ways forward for their and growth, managing international clients, regulations and budgets (whilst bringing up two 'Kevin' teenagers in secondary school)!

The last 11 years have had such highs and lows.
✴️ Some days I've been buzzing from winning new clients and other days I've been ghosted after sending proposals.
✴️ Sometimes my bank account has been bursting with payments and other times I've been wondering how I'll pay the bills.
✴️ There's been several recessions and a global pandemic to navigate for my own business and advise my clients through!
✴️ I've had various business names and sideline ventures, a narcissistic business partner, sexual harrassment, non-payment, disappointment, been lied to and ripped off, stalked online, copied, judged and trolled.
✴️ I've also been praised, rewarded, thanked profusely, headhunted, recognised, told I am an inspiration, a breath of fresh air, told I'm the best thing that's ever happened to their business, seen amazing results and turned worried people into happy people!

These events have made me a strong and capable person, astute and aware and one who seeks to resolve difficult situations for the good of all involved. I have realised that life is just a series of challenges to navigate through and learn from - and to enjoy the journey!

What can I say, it's been emotional!!! 😂

I am looking forward to seeing what the next chapter brings for my career in Marketing. One thing is for sure, it is never boring!

What lessons have you learned as a business owner?🤔

Rather excited to have been interviewed for an international by Peak Performance coach .chris.mclean Chris McLean !

As he’s in Australia, we recorded it at 11pm GMT! Luckily I managed to stay alert by watching police drama ‘Line of Duty’ on TV beforehand! 😂 👮‍♀️

Chris’s podcast has a range of marketeers from all over the world, talking about their career, starting up and things they have learned.

There’s some amazing tips in there if you’re into that sort of thing, like I am, obvs!! 🤓

I’ll let you know when my episode goes live but in the meantime, do connect with Chris and check out the podcast on

Is this me on holiday?! ☀️ NO! It’s me on my lunch break in the British sunshine! Yes, we do get UK sun sometimes! 😎😂

Blooming lovely. Doesn’t the sun inspire you to get up and out, get things done, be creative and make things HAPPEN?!

It certainly does for me!

If you’re feeling uninspired, go for a walk. Do something else! Have a quick rest.

Recharge! I give you permission! 🚶 Enjoy! 😎

It’s office pic time, yaaay!!! 🤩🤩 I feel so grateful and excited to be in this beautiful workspace in , .

Since I began my own business almost 10 years ago, I dreamed of having my own space and a small team.

Yesterday I experienced what that was like for the first time!

Why has it taken me this long? Well, there’s been a divorce, 5 house moves, 3 towns, a change in focus, business villains, a recession or 2, Brexit, a pandemic, a suspected brain tumour, a cancer scare and some mighty mental blocks to hurdle 🤣

But we are here now and it makes it all the sweeter 😊😊😊

This just proves you gotta keep on going. If you can dream it, you can DO IT! 💪🏼

Hopefully my local connections can visit at some point and we can party! 🎉 😷
