Philippa Richardson

Founder & Transactional Analyst Psychotherapist

"I was an ex-lawyer and a head of marketing, yet when I came to lead my own business, it was a whole different ball game. Our company's success depended on me to a degree I'd not experienced before. And my patterns of thinking and behaving sometimes got in the way.

Thanks to my training as a Transactional Analysis psychotherapist I could better understand what was going on with me, my colleagues and our team dynamics. I distilled this into The Circle Line so you can too (without the 4 years spent qualifying!).

Whether you're here for help with managing clients, delegating or building a positive culture, the quality of your interactions will influence the quality of your life. Master the art of the transaction and the world is your oyster. ”

Leadership Coach & Transactional Analysis Psychotherapist

"I have worked in financial services, including banking, wealth management and insurance, media and law - and have over 15 years of experience working in a senior management capacity in different sectors. I have lead large, multi-jurisdictional teams and understand the leadership challenges associated with those roles.

Over this time, I have gained tremendous knowledge of work-related issues from stress, performance anxiety to leadership issues and team development."

"It’s true that being a founder is incredibly stressful... The tumultuous experience of being an entrepreneur can lead to self-doubt, imposter syndrome, loneliness and good old-fashioned burnout." - Forbes.

"81% of founders don't feel they can be open about their stresses, fears and challenges."
