The power of PR.

The programme hasn't even gone out yet but already I've had enquiries from 4 new people to join my East End Girls and a potential client in the North West.

What will tomorrow bring? It's all very exciting.

Don't forget, radio 4 at 3.00 p.m. July 18th.

On the Radio.

I love to walk and I'm also a little bit of a performer hence the reason that I love to train, to talk to people and to appear in the media.

I was delighted to get a chance to do a mix of these on June 9th when myself and some of the East End Girls (my walking group) did a walk in the Lakes for Radio 4's 'Ramblings' programme.

Here we are about half way through the walk

The programme will be broadcast this Friday, July 18th on Radio 4 at 3.00p.m. If you can, do listen and tell me what you think. We even got a write up in the Radio Times!

You can comment through the blog or on heather@walkerscoach.com.

If you are inspired and want to walk, then the East End Girls are always looking for new members - http://www.walkerscoach.com/east_end_girls.htm and Walkers' Coach also runs a range of local walks called Walk your Way to WOW - http://www.walkerscoach.com/walk_your_way_to_wow.htm

If you'd like something in your area, wherever that might be, please let me know as we will be rolling out our programmes and services throughout the UK and Ireland in 2009.

Chaos, or not really!

Feeling rather out of control as I survey all I have to do personally and professionally before going on leave.

It's been a hectic few months which is great as many plans are coming to fruition and it's so exciting. I've also been taking on more one to one clients and I love working out their needs and tailoring walking plans to deliver what they want.

At the same time as all this is happening, it's Ellie's last few weeks at Junior school and life is full of parties, trips, performances etc all which require planning, chauffering and shopping - I just spent a couple of ddays getting all her new school uniform.

...and I'm still celebrating my big 50, although I feel more like 30!! Hope I look it too.

Trying to manage all of this and one way is not to lie in bed mulling it over but to get up and take action, hence sitting in my office working through it all at 5.15 a.m. Sanity and control is seeping in though so good plan really.

Hope you're sleeping soundly.
