Coaching
The Flourishing Flamingo is a coaching practice enabling current and future professionals in the Fashion industry to lead the change for a better future.
Let me ask you a question; do you want to lead the change?
The creative industry, particularly fashion, is all about change, the seasons, the collections, the sales. We are used to change and proactively responding to it, perhaps not always quick enough. How would you feel if change was no longer something to resist but something to be excited about? It would feel good right? It would be something to look forward to, to enjoy. It would be an opportunity just like each season, each collection, each garment we buy or sell is our opportunity to do better, to be better.
We know our industry needs to change. We know we can do better for the people in our businesses, for our planet, and as humans.
My coaching practice The Flourishing Flamingo is all about nurturing you to identify the change, nourishing you to be ready for change, thriving in an ever-changing world and flourishing to lead the change to leave our industry in a better place for generations to come.
I am a Personal Development Change Maker, certified professional coach (ACC) and passionate ex Senior Buyer (Arcadia Group, ASOS, Hunkemoller ), coming from a background of 20 years working for blue chip high street retailers both in the UK and Europe.

About
Who am I

What’s with flamingos?
Flamingos are the perfect symbol for the ambition I have for my clients. Flamingos are the masters of change. They change from grey to pink and confidently migrate to new horizons.
Every flamingo starts out grey
Change makers let’s do this! Through 1:1 sessions or Group Workshops just like flamingos we stand together to create a safe confidential space to identify your needs and goals. We look from the big picture to the smallest detail to enable you to walk out of the sessions shaking your tail feather with an abundance of confidence to make the change you want for a better future.
Packages
This is your amazing journey. That’s why you can be sure any coaching package you choose will be tailored around your very own needs. Sessions are conducted as video calls from web-based services.
DISCOVERY CALL
Rapport is important in coaching. Before we make any commitment, we’ll have an hour-long ‘meet and greet’ telephone call to identify your needs and expectations and to get to know each other a little. If we’re a good match, fabulous! We can look for a suitable package and decide on a plan. Discovery calls are free of charge.

Package 1.
Every flamingo starts out grey
If you feel like you need to build your confidence and show those colourful feathers, this is the package for you. Across three sessions, we will work to find out what might be blocking you and look for opportunities to empower you from the inside out.
Package 2.
Find your balance
Channel your inner flamingo by discovering everything you need for equilibrium, grace and confidence. With this package we’ll dig deep to identify what’s knocking you off your balance, and what needs to be addressed to empower you to achieve your goals.
Package 3.
Take flight
If your sights are set on new horizons and want some help getting there, this could be the package for you. Together we’ll deep-dive into your life vision and look at how to turn those dreams into a reality. We’ll focus on what drives you, how your current situation aligns with your core values, and identify how to see the opportunities in front of you.
Solo sessions
Shake your tail feather
Give yourself a boost with solo sessions designed to get your tail feathers shaking. Take them as a one-off, roll them together or just dip in from time to time.
Group Workshops

“ I really enjoyed working with Hilary when I was transitioning into a new role and industry. She really understood my perspective on the situation and helped me prepare for the change in a positive way. ”
– H.T. United Kingdom
“ My experience was one of uplift and focus. I selected the topic of conversation and Hilary skillfully guided me through the thought process. During the session, if I should veer off track she brought the discussion back to topic and had real encouragement for myself when I questioned my actions or outcome of certain events. I would gladfully recommend Hilary for her services and intend to touch base with her again in the near future. ”
– E.L. South Africa
“ Highly recommend Hilary as an amazing life changing life coach. Life coaching wasn’t something I had been familiar with before but Hilary took the time to explain how it could help me during an introductory session and tailored our sessions to the goals she helped me identify with a clear timed approach for achievement. I found the sessions so inspiring and motivating I cannot thank her enough for helping me through some difficult challenges and see the positive impact my actions and a new way of thinking could have on my life. ”
