I&#8217;m still there, but my lessons in June will be my last ones.<br \/>\n*In April, I said loving goodbye to my fabulous manager and decided to go it truly alone in every way.<\/p>\n<p>These &#8216;loving uncouplings&#8217; feel great, scary, exciting, daring, risky, and very liberating. I&#8217;m truly just me now. Me and my heart. We&#8217;re a pretty tight team these days. We are working very closely together, and here are some things we are working on&#8230;..they might change but at the moment they all feel so good, and so right, they might not.<\/p>\n<p>*I realised all my clients are VIP clients. That&#8217;s why, from now on, <strong>I will only work with 1 client a day<\/strong>, for full day sessions. There are 3 spaces left for May. If you&#8217;d like a dynamic, fun, and challenging VIP day (that will fly by, I promise!), and leave with a huge arsenal of tailor-made English communication expertise, just hit &#8216;reply&#8217; and we will set it up!<\/p>\n<p>*Working in <strong>other countries <\/strong>really excites me. I will be coaching in Berlin for a week next month, I&#8217;m in Belgium nearly every week, and plans for Sweden and France are coming together. My suitcase is always packed and ready to go!<\/p>\n<p>*I will be doing one more <strong>Songwriter&#8217;s Day <\/strong>this year<strong>,<\/strong> which is my way of giving back to the music industry, in October. This is half-price coaching for independent artists who don&#8217;t have label support. I just did a Songwriter&#8217;s day last Saturday, which sold out in one day when it was announced. Everyone who was at the last session wants a new session in October. This means that it&#8217;s sold out already. Which means I&#8217;m going to make it a weekend instead of just a Saturday. Watch this space for when the October date will be announced! (Or hit &#8216;reply&#8217; and grab your spot first!)<\/p>\n<p>*I&#8217;m now a member of a private dining club which is run by an award-winning chef and sommelier in the heart of Amsterdam. It&#8217; a secret club, and it&#8217;s an honor to become a member, and this means I&#8217;m going to hold my first <strong>English Mastermind\u00a0<\/strong>there in November. This is an Executive English Mastermind with a truly inspring group of entrepreneurs, coupled with a bespoke Brain Boost menu, ending the day with a signature Buffi cocktail (I know, can you believe it?) and more mind-blowing bites. It&#8217;s the next level of luxurious English coaching. Beyond anything that&#8217;s out there. I&#8217;m so ready to be a pioneer again, as this does not exist anywhere in Europe.(I&#8217;m used to being called crazy when I come up with a new idea. People laughed so hard 18 years ago when I left a safe, well-paid job to become the first Personal English Coach. Now they laugh with me in my sessions!) If you&#8217;d like to find out more, just hit &#8216;reply&#8217;. I cannot wait to take a huge risk again! My entrepreneurial gut tells me there is a market for this, and my heart says I have to try.<\/p>\n<p>*There will be one more <strong>Rock Your Business English! event<\/strong>\u00a0this year. It will be a 2-day program, but you can go for only 1 day if you wish. The first day will be for those who have never had a workshop with me before, to build up the basics in grammar, vocabulary, and formal\/informal language. The second day will be an Advanced workshop, for those who are ready for a challenge and have followed a masterclass or workshop with me before. I&#8217;ve never done a masterclass day at this advanced level before, but so many people are ready to take that next step and I&#8217;m so excited to help them take it!<\/p>\n<p>Wow.<br \/>\nI just read what I wrote and realised it&#8217;s a lot. It&#8217;s right from the heart, and this is how I&#8217;m working now.<\/p>\n<p>So, basically, at the age of 49.75, this lady is embracing the unknown, and starting again &#8211; finding out what feels right and running with it.<\/p>\n<p>Ready to run with me?<br \/>\nLet&#8217;s go!<\/p>\n<p>X buffi<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This (blurry) lady is celebrating Big New Beginnings.
