Brilliant Damsels Win Awards Again

BURTON ON TRENT, U.K. - July 29, 2014 - PRLog -- The UK wide awards are sponsored by the personal growth community Damsels in Success and recognise great achievements in 10 categories including:-  Overcoming Adversity, Business Growth and Shining Online.  At last year’s awards, Sandie Peachey the Director of the Burton-On-Trent community was named Director of the Year and the year before, Burton again spawned the member who was voted most inspirational overall, having been chosen from hundreds of women across the UK.

Caroline 53 runs a business called the Autism Nanny. Through this, she helps families with autistic children. Caroline uses coaching, home visits and online support to help families feel empowered and in control and enable them to parent their autistic child with confidence, knowledge and calm resilience. Caroline’s own daughter Emily was diagnosed with severe autism when she was 2 and a half. In her award acceptance speech, Caroline had the audience enthralled when she shared her belief that having an autistic child in a family is an amazing, wonderful experience from which all can benefit.  She explained how she had home-schooled Emily until she was 13 and that now at 17, Emily is thriving at Forest Way Special School) and has plans to go to college in Brighton. This in spite of the fact that Caroline was told when Emily was about three, that she was unlikely to talk, read, write or have any meaningful relationship with anyone.

Caroline explains: ‘I have studied and learned so much from being Emily’s mum, my clients can see real benefits to their family life when they work with me and it’s so satisfying.  I did everything I could to learn how to best help Emily and I want to share this to enhance the lives of other families.’

She is also keen to emphasise how Damsels in Success and Director Sandie Peachey have helped her develop the business. ‘I have received lots of support and encouragement from Sandie and Damsels members in the Burton Group and UK wide. I’ve also gained lots of skills and knowledge that I use in my business and to enhance my whole life.’

‘Damsels is a leading transformational network for women,’ comments Sandie who is also an Author and a Coach. ‘We support female entrepreneurs and those women who want to work for themselves. Our mission is to change the way women live and work so that they experience Success With Ease and Success Without The Stress, we hold monthly meetings throughout the UK and offer online support, webinars and an annual conference.  Caroline has been a member of my group for three years and it has been an absolute delight to watch her grow and blossom. I’m so pleased that she won this award. I was delighted when I won last year but watching Caroline on stage accepting her award was even more emotional than that! It’s great that the Burton group has continued to shine. I urge all women to come and join us and who knows, perhaps Burton can triumph again next year.’
