A strong, healthy professional presence that conveys confidence, self worth and credibility fosters trust and respect among colleagues and clients. It involves presenting oneself in a manner that reflects competence, reliability, and authenticity while maintaining healthy boundaries and mindset.
A healthy professional presence can assist in managing conflict, reduce the impact of negative comments and judgments from others, and help to work in a more emotionally healthy way. It can also aid in navigating working with the public, engaging with social media and the wider professional community.
I was at a loose end in my career, I had lost my confidence and motivation, I was afraid of taking the next step. I kept wondering whether I was good enough to follow my passion to help dogs and their people. I kept procrastinating, paralysed like a rabbit in the headlights. Then I attended one of Andrew’s inspiring seminars and found out about Safe Space.
Setting up and building ‘my safe space’ with Andrew was one the best decision! It helped me turn things around.
Andrew took the time to listen to my story, he helped me rediscover my professional self with incredible warmth and empathy, without judgment. I now feel I have a much healthier professional presence. SR

By looking back at our personal story we can find many threads that are relevant to how we turn up today in our professional roles. Together we will find the important threads that we can gently pull at, to help you understand what makes you tick and might drive your response to certain things within the workplace
Once we have understood the relevant parts of your story, we can then learn about who you are and what really drives you. Understanding yourself, and finding acceptance in that, can help you appreciate your own self worth, and importantly value that in a positive way
Once you understand yourself and your story, you will find it easier to really find your purpose. Passion is what often brings us to work with animals, but that can be quite fragile. However, truly finding our purpose is what can keep us motivated, and provide a shield to the expectations and judgements of others
A lot of stress, and indeed burnout, comes from not having an effective and safe way of working. Developing a healthy structure to how you work means examining aspects of administration, time management and boundary setting as well as the functional side of work practice.
After working through the other missions. we can now lay those foundations for a healthier professional presence. This helps you to turn up in whatever professional capacity with the parts of you that feel comfortable bringing into the workplace and that supports a more confident and effective approach.
I lacked in confidence, lost direction and felt very overwhelmed within my business which was holding me back, affecting parts of my home life too, so I reached out to Andrew. Andrew listened to everything that I shared in confidence, guided me through each session, provided me with advice, huge support with ideas and suggestions. Safe space with Andrew has helped my confidence grow over the weeks. I am focused and certainly have more direction within my business having a positive impact on my home life. DB
