    Delivering positive impact is in our DNA

  • The future will be shaped by those we invest in today

    SOCIAL GOOD

    We're grateful for our clients and the exciting work we do (if you are one of them, thank you!) but we're also conscious that there are incredible people out there who are changing lives for the better, but who may not have access to budgets, who don't take salaries and if they do, they're minimal. We have a social responsibility to leave the world and the people in it better than we found them and so our #payitforward initiative was created when we launched in 2018. 

     

    Every year we work with a number of organisations, free of charge. So far, we've delivered workshops, talks and events to schools, universities, mentoring programmes, charities, NGOs, and non-profits. We're particularly supportive of education, future leaders, and women-led initiatives, but we are open to everyone. We're incredibly proud of the positive impact we've made so far and if you know of an organisation that would benefit from being part of our #payitforward initiative, we'd love to know about it - please get in touch via the contact page.

    #StopUndersellingYourself

     

    In 2021, our founder Sallee Poinsette-Nash set herself a very public 12-month challenge to reach and encourage one million to stop underselling themselves in response to the knock-on effect the pandemic was having on people. Self-worth was disappearing with jobs, confidence was taking a hit after multiple unsuccessful interviews and mental health was being compromised by what seemed like an endless stream of fear-fuelled media coverage. We ran pro bono events, shared content and partnered with organisations to share this important message. The goal was positive impact (not profit) so we included #stopundersellingyourself as one of our #payitforward projects and all events, content and output were delivered free of charge. Here's how we got on...
