Executive Assistant to Entrepreneur: Building a Global Personal‑Development Brand

My guest Nicole Lancashire shares how two redundancies after a 20-year career as an executive assistant pushed her to build an online personal-development business and move from Australia to the UK. She explains how skills developed from supporting leaders—operations, project management and emotional intelligence—helped her become an entrepreneur, and how a daily routine of journaling, gratitude and study fuels her self-belief. Nicole also talks about home-schooling her children, developing audio stories for kids, setting boundaries, and practical advice for anyone facing redundancy: visualise two-year outcomes, commit to consistent action, and take the leap.
