Clare Downham

I'm Clare, an ILM qualified business mentor and coach who helps ambitious business owners and leaders let go of hustle, find flow, and simplify systems. I left a long career as a headteacher after burnout and now run Clare Downham Coaching and the Female Business Collective, delivering keynotes, workshops, and one-to-one support focused on easing overthinking and simplifying how businesses run.

I use a no tools, no techniques approach as a Trained 3 Principles Facilitator and accredited coach, and I offer stress-to-success habits, hypnotherapy-informed support, and bespoke programs for teams and leaders who want a business that feels manageable and good to be in.

And my hot take is hustle culture is just bad process dressed up as ambition.
