Stop second guessing yourself. Start scaling with Strategy & Confidence.
The strategic coaching partnership for ambitious female founders who are ready to make bold moves and breakthrough to their next level of success.
You've done the "impossible" ... but success brought new challenges
You've built a business that's working. Revenue is flowing, clients love what you do and on paper... well, everything looks great.
But behind the scenes?
👉 You're drowning in operational chaos.
👉 Every day brings 53 decisions that feel make-or-break.
👉 You're constantly second guessing yourself, wondering if you're focusing on the right things, and frankly...
... you're exhausted by the mental load of it all.
You know you need to make bold moves to scale - new team members, different systems, bigger risks.
But the thought of adding more complexity to an already overwhelming situation makes you want to run and hide under the covers.
Sound familiar? .... You're not alone!
What I know about you:
✅ You've proven you can build something from nothing.
✅ You're ready to scale, but not at the expense of your sanity and wellbeing.
✅ You need strategic clarity... not just another generic business course.
✅ You want to feel confident in your decisions again.
✅ You're tired of playing small when you know you're capable of so much more.
✅ You're ready for brave moves, but you want them to be smart moves.
The Challenge:
You need more than just advice
Most business coaching treats strategy and mindset as separate issues.
But as a female founder, you know they're intimately connected. You don't just need someone to tell you what to do - you need a strategic partner who understands:
🟡 The unique operational challenges of scaling a business as a woman
🟡 How to build confidence for high-stake decisions
🟡 The difference between brave moves and reckless ones
🟡 Why strategic clarity is the foundation of fearless leadership
🟡 How to create systems that support bold growth, not complicate it
That's exactly what Brave & Strategic provides.
The evidence:
Why Brave & Strategic is needed
There are a number of recent UK-based statistics and studies that support why you as a female founder would benefit from something like Brave & Strategic.
🟡 "88% of female entrepreneurs with coaches report a positive wellbeing impact AND higher business results." - The True Cost of Entrepreneurship report
🟡 "In 2023, only 15% of UK SMEs with employees were led by women - suggesting women could be missing out on leadership support and networks." - Women & The UK Economy
🟡 If women started and scaled businesses at the same rate as men, up to £250 billion of additional value could be added to the UK economy. - The Rose Review of Female Entrepreneurship.
Many women start businesses, but fewer scale them or become "established" (operating longer term). Strategic support, mentoring, coaching and mindset work becomes crucial.
That's exactly what Brave & Strategic provides.
Ways we can work together:

Why this approach works:
The Brave & Strategic Method
1. Strategic Operations Integration
Most coaching separates strategy from operations. I integrate them because you can't scale confidently without both working together.
2. Female Founder Focus
I understand the unique challenges you face - from imposter syndrome to the mental load of "figuring it all out" while leading a team.
3. Brave Decision Framework
Every major business decision gets filtered through strategic impact, operational readiness and confidence building... so your bold moves are also smart moves.
4. Implementation Accountability
Strategy without execution is just expensive planning. Every session includes clear next steps and accountability for taking action.
Success stories: Real results from real founders
Julia Packwood - Outdoor Early Years Education Consultant & Business Founder.
"Liz brings to her coaching years of experience and provides helpful insights. Particularly understanding of the mindset required to be bold when starting a business.
Her sessions have helped take the ideas "fizzing" in my head to practical actionable steps to move forward."
Delphine Koall -
The Co-founders Coach
"I just came out of a strategy day with Liz and that was exactly what I needed.
I came with confusing thoughts around my offers and came out with clear offers and positioning.
This clarity gave me my motivation back and Liz helped me to also make sure I use it to take action quickly.
It just feels that I’m finally coming out of procrastination and know what to do next! You made me feel at ease and showed great empathy while helping me to think more strategically - a great combo."
Pacifique Nezerwa - Social & Tech Entrepreneur
From pre-launch to launch.
"Her ability to challenge and inspire me has made a lasting impact, both personally and professionally.
Thanks to Liz, I am leading with greater clarity and focus, and NELEVAT is better positioned to achieve its mission of elevating education and empowering learners in Rwanda and across Africa."
Hi, I'm Liz.
Certified Business Strategist, coach, speaker.
I founded Spark Succeed because I saw too many brilliant female founders stuck in a frustrating pattern: building successful businesses while drowning in operational overwhelm, second-guessing every major decision and playing smaller than their potential.
My approach is different. I don't just coach strategy or mindset in isolation - I integrate both because that's what ambitious founders actually need to scale successfully.
Through "Brave & Strategic", I help founders transform scattered thinking 👉 focused action, operational chaos 👉 systems that scale and self-doubt 👉 confident decision-making.
Over two decades, I've helped 100s of leaders and solopreneurs move from paralysis to profit. From EdTech founders to creative studios, fashion brands to wellness practitioners and coaches - working with fantastic brands such as SpaceNK, Sony Music, Universal Music, BA Holidays, Fujifilm, Publicis, MunichRe, M&C Saatchi, Coffee&TV, Enterprise Nation, University of Birmingham & more.
I'm not here to give you generic advice. I'm here to be your strategic partner - helping you make the brave moves that will transform your business while building the operational foundation to support that growth.
