The True Fit™
Redesign the next chapter of your fashion career.
A 12-week private coaching partnership for experienced women in fashion who have outgrown the career they have built and are ready to get clear on what they actually want next, choose their next direction and build the confidence and strategy to get there.
Successful on paper…but quietly stuck?
Most clients come to me at a decision point.
They know something needs to change in their career, but they can’t yet see the right move.
🤍 You're an empathetic, high-achieving and emotionally intelligent leader. You're respected by your team and known for delivering at a high level.
🥀 You want to lead with empathy and still drive commercial results, but the culture around you rewards a different kind of leader - louder, harder, less considered. You’ve started adapting to fit it, and you can feel the cost of that.
🤍 You have a decade or two of experience in your field and incredible brands on your CV, with serious commercial targets delivered and teams who trust you.
🥀 A lot of your role now is navigating strong personalities, competing agendas and high-stakes conversations. You want to hold your ground without compromising your integrity or carrying the emotional weight of every interaction.
🤍 You came into fashion because you loved the product, the customer and the creativity of the industry.
🥀 You sometimes look at your week and realise most of it is spent in reporting cycles, trade meetings and stakeholder updates - keeping everything moving rather than building anything new. You know you have more to contribute, but you can’t see where that growth fits anymore.
🥀 You keep circling the same question - should you stay, move, reshape your role, or build something of your own - but you can’t quite land on the right move. You understand some of the why, but what you need now is clarity, strategy and accountability to move forward.
What if it looked different instead?
🤍 You've defined and reconnected with the work you love and your fire is back. You're energised by your work again whether that’s creative, impact-focused work within a company, a more strategic leadership role, or a consultancy you’re building alongside your career.
🤍 The pressure and expectations are still high, but you’re no longer bracing for impact every Monday. You know what you’re building and how you want to operate inside it.
🤍 You have clear visibility on what you want to pursue. Not multiple possible futures that paralyse you - one clear direction. A commercially viable pathway that aligns with your purpose AND provides financial stability or growth. You know exactly what you're doing every week with a clear roadmap.
🤍 Your career supports the life you want to live rather than constantly competing with it. You've made a clear decision, you're executing on it, and the version of you at work and the version of you everywhere else are finally the same person. Financial stability and personal growth aren't competing, they're part of the same plan.
🤍 You trust your judgement again. You stop replaying conversations, second-guessing decisions or quietly shrinking in rooms you’ve already earned the right to be in.
That’s what we build inside The True Fit™.
Most clients don’t leave fashion. They redesign their place within it.
Some leave and build something of their own. Some stay and lead differently. Some reshape their role from the inside.
The work is figuring out which version of success actually fits you now.
The True Fit™
Journey
The True Fit™ is a 12-week 1:1 coaching partnership for experienced fashion leaders who’ve succeeded their way into roles that no longer feel right, and are ready to redesign their fashion career with clarity, structure and accountability.
The Pattern Edit
Before we begin, you’ll complete a focused reflective workbook that surfaces the patterns running through your career decisions and leadership style.
In our first session, I reflect those patterns back to you - what’s been driving your choices, where you’ve been adapting or over-functioning, and what’s no longer sustainable. Together, we begin mapping a clear, grounded vision for what you want this next chapter to feel and look like. This is the foundation for everything that follows.
The Fit Check
We'll use my unique Fit Check Tool™ to define the non-negotiables your career must meet now - the level of challenge, creativity, flexibility and influence required for you to perform at your best.
The Reclaim
We identify the behaviours and habits that keep you operating in roles you’ve outgrown and replace them with practical leadership decisions that move you forward, and protect your energy without burning bridges.
The Reframe
This is where we clarify how you want to operate as a leader going forward, so you can lead from a place that feels authentic while also driving commercial results.
Runway Ready
We build your strategic roadmap with clear next steps you can execute immediately. Whether that's a 6-month action plan with monthly milestones for repositioning internally to get back to fulfilling work, or the complete framework and foundations for your new business venture.
“I came into the process feeling stuck professionally and personally, and left with a renewed sense of clarity and confidence.
As someone working in the fast-paced world of luxury retail, I especially appreciated how actionable and grounded Pippa’s coaching was. Each session offered tools and insights I could immediately apply.
It felt like the perfect next step after therapy - practical, forward-focused and empowering.”
— Head of PR at a luxury fashion PR agencyHow we work together:
🤍 6 x 90-minute sessions over 12 weeks
🤍A structured pre-partnership reflective journaling workbook
🤍 A personalised strategic roadmap tailored to your chosen direction
🤍 Handwritten follow-up notes after each session (not AI - confidentiality is a non-negotiable)
🤍 WhatsApp/email support Monday - Friday
Throughout our 12 weeks, every session opens with a review of what you committed to and what moved forward. The WhatsApp access, the post-session notes, the bi-weekly rhythm - all of it is designed to keep you accountable between sessions, not just during them.

What changes on the other side?
Clients don’t necessarily leave the industry. What changes first is how they experience themselves inside it.
There’s growth and forward movement instead of simply maintaining what already exists.
If they pivot, it’s deliberate - the consultancy launches, the website goes live, and they show up consistently. Conversations turn into paid projects. Revenue begins to diversify. There is tangible evidence that it works, and that’s what builds confidence.
If they stay, they don’t stay in the same way.
They reshape their remit and initiate the strategic conversations that allow them to contribute at the level they’re capable of. They lead in a way that reflects their own standards - commercially sharp, people-focused, creative where it matters - rather than subtly adapting to a culture that never quite felt like home.
There’s alignment between who they are now and the work they’re doing.
They’ve found their True Fit.
After two decades in the fashion industry, I knew something had to change, but I didn’t know where to begin. I had a great job on paper and a stable salary, yet I felt disconnected and drained.
Through our sessions, I gained the clarity and courage to launch my own consultancy and build a career that truly reflects who I am.
What’s special about Pippa is not just what she says, but how she holds space. She helped me connect the dots in ways I couldn’t see on my own.
I’m now building a career that feels aligned with my values and the life I actually want to live.
— Fashion & Lifestyle Brand Consulant (Ex Senior Buyer)About me
Hi, I'm Pippa.
I work with a lot of people who are excellent at their jobs and genuinely lost at the same time. I know that combination well.
I spent over a decade in luxury fashion at NET-A-PORTER, Liberty, Mulberry and MATCHES — leading global personal shopping teams of 40+ and managing £40m+ in annual revenue. I've navigated restructures, carried huge commercial targets and delivered growth in environments where the pace never really slowed.
I loved the industry and I was good at my job. But I was also exhausted in a way I couldn't quite articulate at the time.
When MATCHES went into administration in 2024, I was forced to take the pause I didn’t know I needed.
I realised I didn't want to return to the same roles I’d had before, and found I’d grown into quite a small niche. After so many industry shifts I was struggling to find my place so I chose to do the deeper work.
I qualified as an Executive Coach (ILM Level 7, EMCC accredited) and built a career that finally fits.
Today, I split my time between coaching ambitious fashion leaders navigating their next chapter and consulting with luxury brands on clienteling strategy.
I know this industry inside out, and I know there's a way to build a career in it that stretches you, challenges you and fits who you are now - without throwing away everything you've worked to build.
I came to coaching wanting a more sustainable work set-up, after finding myself in an all-or-nothing pattern.
Through our sessions, I identified what really mattered to me and where I was making decisions based on other people’s expectations.
I now have a working arrangement that genuinely fits alongside my life.

Ready to redesign what comes next?
If you're still reading this, you probably already know something needs to shift.
You don't need another year of circling the same question.
You need clarity, a decision you feel confident standing behind, and the structure to follow through on it rather than revisiting it every few months.
If that sounds like you, let’s have a confidential chat to explore whether The True Fit™ is the next step for you.
Questions about working together?
If yours isn't covered here, drop me a message and we can chat anything through.
-
Most career or business programmes start with tactics - CVs, interview prep, confidence frameworks, positioning - and assume the clarity and self-trust are already there.
The women I work with don’t lack capability or experience. What’s missing is space to properly unpack why things no longer fit and what actually needs to change before the next move makes sense.
The True Fit™ is 1:1, industry-specific, and deliberately slower at the start. We work on the patterns, pressure, and decision-making that have kept you stuck first. That’s why the practical work later - whether that’s senior interviews, negotiating, stepping into a bigger role, or laying foundations for independence - actually lands.
There’s no fixed curriculum and no generic pathway. Every session is shaped around you, your context, and where you’re heading. It’s thoughtful, strategic work that holds up in the real world of fashion.
-
You’re likely ready if:
You’re at a tipping point, so know something has to give, and you can’t keep going like this
You’re ready to move forward, not sit in the same loop for another year
You’re open to being supported and respectfully challenged
You have around 7–10+ years’ experience in fashion at a senior level
This probably isn’t right for you if:
You want someone to tell you exactly what to do
You’re looking for quick surface level fixes rather than deeper change
You’re looking for a full business launch programme (this work focuses on clarity and foundations, not building everything at once)
If you’re unsure, the simplest next step is a free, confidential 30-minute chat. We’ll talk through where you are and whether this is actually the right support for you.
-
That’s completely normal - and it’s often the reason people come to this work.
Most clients arrive feeling societal pressure to have it all figured out. They don’t. The confusion around “Is it still fashion? A different role? Going independent?” is usually part of what’s keeping you stuck in the first place.
The first two sessions - The Pattern Edit and The Fit Check - are designed to work this out properly. We surface what you actually need next, not what looks good on paper or what you think you should want.
Once you’re clear on what energises you and what has to be present for work to feel sustainable, the direction becomes much clearer. From there, we tailor the remaining sessions to support the path you’re choosing and build your version of next.
You don’t need to arrive with the answer - we’ll work through that together.
-
The guaranteed outcome is clarity.
Everyone who comes through this work understands themselves better - how they make decisions, where they get stuck, and what they actually want next. Confidence, boundaries, and self-trust improve because that’s what we work on directly.
External outcomes vary. Some clients land senior roles or step into Director-level positions. Others decide not to chase the next title and instead build something of their own. Some do both over time.
What this work gives you is the internal stability to make those decisions properly, rather than reacting from pressure, exhaustion, or fear of getting it wrong.
-
Most people don’t come to this work when things are calm.
The programme is designed around demanding roles and full schedules. We meet every two weeks so you have space between sessions, rather than adding more pressure. After each session, I send reflection questions within 24 hours - usually 20–30 minutes of journaling to help things settle and integrate.
You also have WhatsApp access for moments when something comes up in real time - a difficult conversation, a decision you’re looping on, or a situation where you want to respond differently.
Many clients find that once we start working together, they feel less overwhelmed - not because the job suddenly gets easier, but because they’re clearer, less reactive, and not carrying everything alone.
-
Yes, completely.
Everything we discuss stays between us. I don’t share client details, full names, or anything about our work together with anyone - including your company, colleagues, or other clients.
Any testimonials you see have been shared with explicit consent, and only first names or initials are used (with permission).
This work only works if you feel psychologically safe enough to be honest - including about things that might feel uncomfortable to say out loud about your career, leadership, or the industry. Confidentiality isn’t optional here; it’s fundamental.
-
If you complete the first two sessions and feel this isn’t the right fit for you, you can request a full refund within the first four weeks.
After that point, payments made are non-refundable, but you’re not obliged to continue with future payments if you choose to stop early.
In practice, the workbook and first session usually make it very clear whether this depth of work resonates with you. I’ve never had to process a refund, but the option is there so you can enter the work without feeling trapped.
-
I understand how unpredictable fashion can be.
If you give at least 24 hours’ notice, we can reschedule your session within the programme timeframe. Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice, or missed entirely, are treated as complete and can’t be rescheduled.
For genuine emergencies - serious illness, bereavement, or major unforeseen situations - we’ll handle it by mutual agreement, regardless of notice.
I’m supportive and flexible where it matters, but this programme works best when both of us are committed and treat the time seriously.
-
No, I work with clients globally via Zoom. As long as we can find session times that work across time zones and you’re comfortable working in English, location isn’t an issue.
-
Clients who get the most from this work usually recognise themselves in a few of these points:
They’re thoughtful and self-aware, and open to looking honestly at their patterns
They’re ready to make decisions rather than staying in the same loop
They take responsibility for following through on the actions we identify together
They’re willing to try things differently, even when it feels uncomfortable or unfamiliar
They use the space between sessions to reflect, apply what we’ve discussed, and notice what shifts
They don’t need to have everything figured out when we start. What matters is being engaged in the process and prepared to act on the clarity we create together.
If that sounds like you, you’ll get real value from this programme.
