About Ebonie
Hi there, I'm Ebonie Allard
It is my mission to create community, to help creative entrepreneurs to choose curiosity over fear, and to reframe uncertainty – so that you are able to feel a sense of internal belonging, and choose courage and experience over expectation.
I help creative business owners to avoid burnout / breakdown and create lives that are as unique and extraordinary as you are, that feel as good on the inside as they perhaps look on the outside.
Experience
I have been self employed for nearly all of my working life and understand all the ups and downs that go with that.
<p>
My background is as a Props Buyer and Stylist for TV and Film, as well as Project Manager and Freelance PA for a range of different employers and HNW private individuals.
<p>
I worked in TV / Film / Events / Music for 7 years and then in July 2009 set up My Girl Friday Ltd to provide a creative freelance, short term or part time comprehensive PA and VA service to both Individuals and Businesses. The Company offered traditional assistant services, virtual assistance, project management, social media, marketing, PR, and business strategy to a number of businesses and individuals. My role included delivering these services to my own clients, as well as running the Company, managing a pool of freelancers, and dealing with the confidential and often delicate matters of individuals lives. The territory of the virtual assistant or digital nomad was at that time, new and unchartered and I was a part of shaping it in my small way. <p
<p>
Over time I realised I was in fact COACHING my team, my clients and many other entrepreneurs. I loved that part of my role so much that I made the decision to focus solely on coaching and consulting freelancers, business owners and entrepreneurs full time.
<p>
I qualified with distinction as a Personal Performance Coach with The Coaching Academy in early 2014 and will receive my diploma in Small Business Coaching in due course. I am an Independent Yoga Network accredited Hatha yoga teacher and have experience of working in a range of industries.
<p>
I am author of the book 'Misfit to Maven - from ARGH to AHHH'. I coach full time, with clients all over the world. Some work is done face to face, a lot is done virtually. I offer 121 and small group coaching and my signature coaching programme - Misfit to Maven in 80 days.
Coaching style
I specialise in enabling freelancers, business owners and entrepreneurs to live 360 degree, fully rounded lives - where there is time and space for work, rest and play!
