You know how they say you remember how a person made you feel? Well, a few months on from having 1:1 coaching with Bek Lambert, the words “heard”, “challenged” and “inclusive” are stuck in my mind. If you’re looking for someone with ethical values, who knows her business shit and who won’t make you feel imposter vibes, look no further. Bek is the real deal, coming fabulously prepared to our meetings with fresh takes on things I hadn’t considered. There’s a lot of woo woo out there, and Bek has the ability to help with the things that matter to move your thinking from good to exceptional – with tangible steps to get there. Thanks again Bek.
