&lt;p&gt;VMG specialises in Women&amp;#39;s Development, Personal Effectiveness especially Influencing Skills, Personal Development and Business Start-Up.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Currently we are focusing on our&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Change for the Better &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;framework through which we&amp;nbsp;support&amp;nbsp;women experiencing the menopause, their managers and organisations to explore, understand, plan and put actions in place by considering:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; what is getting in the way of individuals having their best life possible during menopause transition&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; how to motivate and support themselves at work and at home&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; how to support women in menopause at work&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; looking forward positively and setting out the steps to get there&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; how to optimise skills, talents and expertise during the menopause transition and beyond.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At both micro and macro levels there are benefits in supporting women to remain in, or to &amp;nbsp; re-enter the workplace for as long as they choose. Retaining their skills and talents or supporting them to retrain/acquire new skills will provide both personal and economic advantage.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Change for the Better &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;framework addresses the three perspectives &amp;ndash; women, managers, and the organisation.&lt;br /&gt;
It &amp;nbsp;is a dimension of Diversity and Inclusion which deserves attention and is also an approach which supports the work organisations, public health bodies and Government are currently engaged in around mental health. In doing so it enhances an employer brand and reputation, demonstrating commitment to being an employer of choice and to staff well-being and by getting the right people involved within organisations and sectors who will see this as a long-term strategic prospect and not a one-off initiative.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

Get Connected

My involvement with the development of women began in 1994 when I was appointed as Programme Director for women’s courses in the Inland Revenue. Over the next 11 years I designed and facilitated a residential training course and became licensed and ran around 50 Springboard Women’s Development programmes throughout the UK.

Since becoming self-employed in 2005 my interest in women’s development has continued and I have worked with women who have not been economically active for some time, those who want to start their own businesses and those who want to raise their profile in the public sector.&nbsp;

Business Support Adviser

Hi, I’m Lucy, the Founder of Flourish Unlimited and Co-Founder of the Does My Business Look Big in This community. I’m a fully certified Coach, Design Thinking Practitioner, and Human-Centred Business Strategist, with an award-winning professional background in business development.

To add to my professional qualifications, I’m also trained in several of what my Husband calls ‘woo-woo’ modalities, which means I not only get to work with you on your business growth, I can also help you get your – and your team’s - personal growth game on point too.

I don’t care to be reminded how many decades I’ve been working in the field of business coaching and consultancy now. I exited a corporate world that had left me feeling empty, after a brush with ovarian cancer made me realise there had to be more to life.

When I first got off the corporate hamster wheel, that’s when I started, failed, then successfully built and sold a couple of enterprises, only to start all over again with Flourish Unlimited and Does My Business Look Big in This?

I’m a total geek when it comes to the nuts and bolts of business strategy. I love nothing more than helping others to understand the benefits that executing appropriate tools and techniques can have, not only on your profit margins, but also on the flexibility you can create for yourself.

It still feels like the biggest compliment when someone trusts me to assist them as they start or scale their business, or support them as they start to value their own self worth and flourish, so a huge thank you for considering me as your trusted Advisor.
