“…why imperfection is the start of everything that matters…”
You’re not behind — you’re just beginning
At an imperfect start®, we work with people who are navigating transitions, second chances, or creative pivots. If you’ve ever thought ‘I’ll start once it’s perfect,’ we’re here to help you start anyway.
Through a blend of compassionate coaching, mentoring, and mindset work, we create space for you to grow at your own pace. No more hiding. No more waiting. Just support, clarity, and the tools to take your next imperfect step.
Because your story doesn’t have to be perfect to be powerful.
Holistic Leadership Training for Sustainable Growth
“I get asked a lot about how I made the switch from consultant to coach and mentor. For me, it wasn’t so much a sharp left turn as it was a natural evolution.
As a consultant, I was always solving problems—but over time, I realised I was more drawn to helping people solve their own.
I started mentoring informally, and what began as side conversations turned into real shifts for the people I was helping. That’s when it clicked: I didn’t just want to deliver solutions—I wanted to empower others to grow into the kind of leaders who could create their own. Coaching and mentoring gave me the space to do that.”
It wasn’t a perfect start. But it was the right one.

Why an imperfect start I hear you say. This is simple really, why wait for all things in your life professional or personal to align before you take action.
JUST START!
And so what if it doesn’t work first time, you’ll have learned something, and quickly whether you’re on the right path or not. And you’ll not have wasted much time and effort to want to start again, this time a little less imperfect.
EMBRACE IMPERFECTION!
Compare this to the cost of waiting around for that so-called perfect alignment that never comes.
