About Wildfire and Clare

Don't leave another conversation kicking yourself for what you should've said!

Getting caught in conversation, not finding the right words when needing to negotiate, to be assertive, or to be credible can be stressful, leaving you with sweaty palms and sleepless nights. And that’s why I’ve worked with 7000+ people to conquer conversations.

❌ You don't want to fall into the overthinking trap or regurgitating afterwards, berating yourself for not saying the right thing. But you want presence, influence and impact and recognition for your hard work.

❌ That was me too - not quite knowing how to deal with politics and people, often those in authority or with hard-to-fathom characters. The dread! And in worst case scenarios, there were tears of frustration (mine, not theirs)!

❌ It wastes time, causes confusion or is horribly uncomfortable - a career and confidence block.

When I couldn’t navigate it any longer, I quit and travelled.

My pivotal moment was serving steak in Sydney, Australia, winning over an especially awkward customer in a jazz club…… realising I wanted to help people hold conversations with confidence, without being someone they’re not, and stopping the squirming or freezing when feeling out of place.

▶️ That was 22 years ago, setting out to help people handle scenarios, using my coaching, Psychology, NLP, Marketing, Performance and Trauma and Complex PTSD training. But my management experience has been the best education.

 🔓 As a facilitator, coach and conference speaker I steer you towards less panic, more proficiency and more presence -

 Whether:

🚧 You’re losing confidence; or

🚧 Struggling with colleagues; or

🚧 Change is afoot and it's messy

👣 You're 3 steps away from holding your head high with confident sentences, however difficult the conversation:

1. Unpacking any overwhelm, telling your story.
2. Devising a straightforward plan.
3. Building confidence one do-able step at a time!.

As your very own conversation queen, I'll handhold, steer, and be there on-demand, fiercely cheerleading whilst you feel like you’re having a cuppa with your most trusted mentor.

Plus - we'll laugh!

🚀 WANT IT TO CHANGE? Then let's chat!

⚠️ NO ACTION = staying stuck.

 👟 ACTION =

• stopping the stress spiral, the overthinking and awkwardness

• saving time and feeling increasingly confident and relaxed in EVERY SINGLE conversation

• helping you in life and at every career stage.

A bit more background:

She is based in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire and clients are mostly in the UK.

A keen walker, she delights in taking clients and coaching outside of box-like buildings and away from screens when possible - boosting energy, enjoying exploring, feeling valued and re-finding focus!

Why Wildfire?

Because Wildfire is disruptive, energetic, clearing debris, preserving what’s vital and promoting growth (and conjures up images of Clare’s favourite colour, orange!)
