| About |
Hello I’m Lynn How. Here’s some further information about me.
🌈I have 2 children (12 and 8) and 2 cats. One of my children has additional needs.
🌈I’d describe myself as an introverted extrovert. I’m am a bit quirky (occupational hazard), I can be the life and soul of the party or sometimes I like to hide under a rock.
🌈I love my work and I always love to receive any feedback - what’s going well and what areas to work on so feel free to reach out and tell me straight.
🌈If you are having a tough time, please contact me as well. I’m always happy to jump on a zoom if you need any support with school stuff or wellbeing stuff.
🌈For school stuff, within my consultancy business, the first 1/2 hour ish is always free and for wellbeing stuff, support is always free however long it takes!
🌈 In my spare time I like to rock climb, go hiking, read, drink gin and binge watch Netflix!
🌈 I also love to write!
