“I first met Briggy when she was leading a transformational self-development course that I attended and I was immediately impressed by her great skills as a coach: her insight, her wisdom, her directness and honesty, her phenomenal emotional strength, her ability to help people find their authentic self and purpose. I wanted some of that!

I returned for a number of these courses, and the more I got to know Briggy the deeper my admiration became for what she can do when working in depth with people. As my own understanding of personal growth and emotional intelligence grew I developed a wish to one day work alongside her, and I was very glad that my wish was fulfilled: first we co-led a CPD course for pastoral tutors at Eton, and then we developed and led together two in-depth experiential courses in self-leadership for boys from Eton and The Windsor Boys’ School.

The data-gathering afterwards showed that these courses had deep impact on those who took part. Briggy is someone with a rare gift for helping others, and models a boldness in her own life that is truly inspiring.”
