Testimonial

Lesley has been mentoring me since January 2018. During this time I been transitioning from running a business selling my own industrially woven linens into becoming more of a full-time Artist.
Lesley has supported me during this journey, although I am still learning to 'let go' of my online shop.
Over the time it has taken me to recognise my built-in patterns and to re-learn approaches to me and my ongoing life Lesley has gently encouraged me with kindness and, at times, firmness!
Despite my concerns and fears about moving onwards I now have a beautiful dedicated Artist website and all the tools and connections to market myself through social media.
Looking back I can see how far we have travelled together and am excited about the future.

Inspirational Mentor

In trying to navigate my way through a difficult career as an artist, I always imagined the possibility of a guide, someone who could point me in the right direction. After many years, I was fortunate enough to meet Lesley Samms at just the right time and haven’t looked back since. Lesley has been an inspirational mentor and professional development consultant and has helped steer my ‘business’ onto a clearer path. From a position of hoping for something better, following Lesley’s advice, tools and strategies, I now believe that each step of progress will be made. I thoroughly endorse Lesley to anyone wishing to realise their potential.
