Ep 013: In Conversation with Helen Pinnock - Revealing Purpose

The Purpose Lab

How does personal purpose unfold in your business?

This conversation unpacks how being open to each and every experience from the chance conversation, serendipitous nudges and even traumatic experiences can provide a stepping-stone to living a life in increasing alignment to your purpose and calling.

Join Helen Pinnock, and I as we explore how being in tune with your passion, and strengths pulls you closer to revealing your purpose, whilst intention & action moves you towards your most purposeful business.

About Sarah:

Hello! I’m Sarah Pearson-Wood and I believe, every single one of us is designed with a powerful PURPOSE.

I’m a Business Transformation Strategist, championing female founders to harness their passion. To work from their purpose, create profit & build a legacy brand that makes big impact.

“I empower female visionaries to bring all of who they are in their business by alchemising their untold story into their purpose. That way they boldly step into their feminine leadership and create an abundant and authentic legacy”.

I'm on a one-woman mission to help female founders connect to their calling & tap into the power of their purpose, their true calling. To harness their entrepreneurial DNA and create big, bold, personal brands that impact others and change the world.

My passion is to empower the women who transform others. The women unleashing from what's been holding them back. The women who are stepping up to create Tsunami sized waves of impact, with the positive work they do.

I’m the Creator of Purpose to Profit (without selling your soul) and The Legacy Builder. Rise Without Selling Out.

My work centres on Purpose Led Strategy I Marketing by Design I Heart Led Coaching & Mentoring.

My close to 25 years’ experience of real life and business, goes hand-in-hand with the knowledge & training in marketing-comms, commercial marketing, branding and business to back it up. I have an Advanced Certificate in Executive Coaching. I’m DiSC trained and presently training in Human Design energetics.

I’ve been involved in small businesses for over 10 years and running my own consultancy and now coaching practice for much of that too.

I’m values led and believe in a human first approach. That means I’ll always focus on leading with a purpose-led, integrity driven marketing machine. My approach to life and business is grounded in the understanding that YOU are the secret sauce to everything you desire and crave out of life and business.

Are you ready to lean-in to the work that amplifies your purpose, attracts soul-aligned clients, pays you well & transforms the world?

I believe you can make your purpose pay.

Key Takeaways

Wellness professionals generally are really good at what they do. They’re amazing at what they do quite often but they are not just good at telling people what they do.

Sometimes we know that the goal is right, but the process to get there, isn't always the right way to do it.

Being shy and being introverted is not the same thing.

You can hold the trauma and the sadness alongside the openness

If there is something you want to do, check if it feels right, write it down, and ask yourself, what’s the worst thing that can happen.

About Helen:

Helen Pinnock is the Founder of the Wellbeing Business School.

She provides business coaching services to holistic therapists and yoga teachers in the wellness industry.

Founded after a 20-year career in the industry and following her own remarkable recovery from PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) which left her struggling with infertility and chronic pain amongst health issues, Helen is very well placed to know first-hand about the benefits of taking care of your physical and emotional health naturally.

Because of her own experiences she is determined that the wellness industry not only survives but thrives.

Her 1# Amazon best-selling book "From Client To Clinic Owner - How to create your wellbeing business from the inside out" documenting her own experiences working in the wellness industry with along with practical advice on how to grow your own business.

She began her wellbeing career first as a reflexologist then after five years she realised her expertise lay not as a therapist but in facilitating others to do the work.

This is when Helen created the Wellbeing Clinic, a counselling and holistic health clinic which she has ran successfully for 13 years.

Unfortunately, like many others, she had to close it in 2020 due to Covid 19.

It was at this point she decided to respond to the times that we are living through. With many holistic therapists and yoga teachers moving online and looking to pivot their businesses. It felt as though it was right for Helen to do the same and show them how to do this successfully. She moved the Wellbeing Business School online and decided to step full time into this role.

She has created the Wellness Business Collective a membership business club for holistic therapists and yoga teachers. It will provide the training, expertise, confidence and support needed to help them achieve their goals.
