The Future-Proof® Club
The Future-Proof Club® – The Community for Small Business Owners by Lucy Rennie
Running a business can be amazing. But let’s be honest, it can also feel overwhelming, exhausting and lonely. Most of the time, you’re spinning plates, wearing all the hats and just trying to keep your head above water. What nobody is really talking about:
● Half of small business owners in the UK report poor mental health
● One in three works over 46 hours a week
● Many feel anxious, stuck, and alone.
But we honestly believe it doesn’t have to be like this. You don’t have to do it all on your own. That’s exactly why Lucy has created The Future-Proof Club®. A safe, inspiring space for brilliant small business owners who want to build a business that works for them.
Inside the Club®, you’ll find:
● Weekly live Zoom check-ins to stay on track and feel supported
● Monthly planning workshops to help you focus and move forward
● Strategic board sessions to test ideas and gain fresh perspectives
● Expert-led masterclasses on pricing, marketing, mindset, productivity, and brand-building
● A community of trusted experts for advice or support
● Accountability sessions to tackle tasks you keep putting off
● An easy-to-use app, so you have everything at your fingertips
But more than anything, it’s about people. The Future-Proof Club® is about community, belonging, and showing up for each other. It’s about knowing you’re not alone and surrounding yourself with people who actually care.
Each month, we meet in-person at Riverside for a relaxed get-together. No big agenda or icky pitches, just space to connect with others who “get-it” and understand what it’s really like to run a business.
At just £25 + VAT a month, with no ties, there’s no pressure to attend everything. The goal is to reduce overwhelm, not add to it. You can join when you need and sometimes just knowing we’re here is enough.
As Simon Sinek says, “A community is a group of people who agree to grow together.” That’s what The Future-Proof Club® is all about.
If you’re ready to build a business in a way that feels good, with support and clarity – click here – we’d love to welcome you.
Life, Career & Executive Coaching
Life Coaching
Life Coaching is the practice of supporting you to create and start living a more fulfilling life. By helping you to achieve specific goals, the aim is to put you back in control of your life and assist you to achieve clarity, certainty and positive outcomes whilst we work through whatever issues are holding you back.
Life Coaching takes in to account all aspects of your life, often covering topics such as Career, Relationships, Health, Hobbies, Finances, Friends, Family and Fun.
A life coach will use a wide variety of coaching tools and interventions which help clients to move forward. You will be helped to identify and achieve your goals, building your confidence and self-esteem along the way and ensuring you move forward towards greater life satisfaction and personal success.
Career Coaching
Career discovery coaching focuses on aligning a client’s passions, values and skills with their work. The workplace has changed significantly over the years and these days it’s not uncommon for a person to change jobs as often as ten times over a lifetime – sometimes swapping one unsatisfactory job for another. Often people find that their work does not tap into their passions and dose not utilise the key strengths they most enjoy using.
People become bored, demotivated and frustrated as they don’t value nor enjoy what they are doing. Just because you are good at something, doesn’t mean it’s going to make you happy.
Career discovery coaching helps clients to discover more about themselves including their values, strengths, skills and pleasures. It offers the opportunity to discover how they do want to contribute to the workforce and helps them to align their job, career path or retirement for a more fulfilling life.
Executive Coaching
Executive Coaching focuses on helping leaders unlock their full potential, navigate complex challenges, and lead with confidence. In today’s fast-paced business world, the demands on executives are higher than ever. Balancing strategic vision with the day-to-day pressure of managing teams, budgets, and stakeholders can be overwhelming.
Executive coaching provides a space for leaders to step back, reflect on their leadership style, and address any roadblocks to success. It’s about refining key skills, making critical decisions with clarity, and fostering a sense of purpose that drives both personal and professional growth.
Through one-on-one or team coaching, executives can gain insight into their strengths and areas for development, learn how to handle pressure more effectively, and ensure they are leading in a way that aligns with their values and long-term goals. Whether it’s stepping up in a new role, handling change, or improving team dynamics, executive coaching provides the tools and strategies needed to achieve sustained success and fulfilment at the top level.
