About Liz - Clarity Coach for Women in Business
Your personal coach in business and beyond - helping you retain clarity and take purposeful action
Your coach and mentor
I’m Liz Horsey, founder of Your Vision Coaching, a Derby/Burton-on-Trent based coach for women in business, and a passionate believer that how we think shapes everything – our inner world, our business, and beyond.
I support forward-focussed, ambitious female owners and senior leaders - through coaching and mentoring. People who are capable, committed, and action takers - and also juggling a lot - work, family, relationships, self…, and who have a growing sense that something needs to shift.
They've come this far by successfully ‘doing’. But that isn’t the answer anymore. They recognise that to grow further – both their business and themselves – they need to think differently, do differently.
People who are ready to focus on what matters most. To step off the treadmill of busy work, trying to do it all, and escape from the self-sabotaging habits that keep them stuck or playing small. To create clarity, calm, and meaningful momentum.
My vision
A big part of this vision is also to share what I have learned, and put to use personally, about how to stop living in a constant state of anxiety, stress and worry. How to live more calmly. How to live a happier life.
Many people are quietly struggling - numbing themselves with distractions - scrolling, shopping, streaming - anything to quiet the noise.
It doesn’t have to be that way.
My vision is to spread the word about where happiness and fulfilment come from. To help people see and understand what they have always known, yet have perhaps forgotten – that this is an inside job:
👉 Each one of us is perfect and unbroken, despite the stories we can tell ourselves
👉 We often bury the beautiful essence of who we are under the debris of our thinking
👉 Through greater self-awareness and self-leadership, we can live a significantly calmer, happier and more fulfilling life.
My story
After 25+ years in corporate marketing and leadership, I was ready to go it alone and started my own marketing consultancy. Then one day, I took my young daughter to a chocolate-making café in Burton. I felt the click - with the concept and the owner, and we became business partners. ,
It was great for a while, or so I let myself believe. Then something happened….
Picture the scene. It was a quiet Monday morning in the cafe – I was alone. I’d cleaned up the carnage after a weekend packed with kids’ parties, and had reloaded the chocolate tempering machine. The smell of warm, melting Belgian chocolate filled the air. I sat down to do the books.
After 3 years and numerous debates with my business partner about how to grow the business, I realised in that moment the harsh reality - that we were stuck. Trapped in the endless day-to-day. It was also consuming evenings and weekends, affecting my family life too. I couldn’t see a clear path forward. We were paying ourselves a meagre salary, and it all simply wasn’t enough. I knew then I was going to have to walk away from a business I truly loved…… I was heartbroken.
I made a decision that day that I never wanted to be in that position again, and it reignited my self-development journey. It was the catalyst for me becoming a business and personal coach.
Looking back, I can now see how we needed help. An independent perspective. A robust business model and a more aligned growth plan – this could have led to a very different outcome for us, but life had other plans.
Helping others to thrive, not just survive, has become my passion, so they can avoid having to make that difficult decision I did.
If you’re ready to create a business and life that truly works for you, I’d love to support you on that journey. Let’s start with a conversation.
Personalised coaching support
After 25 years+ in corporate marketing and leadership in the beer, chocolate and retail sectors, and over a decade as a business owner myself, I’ve learned much through the highs and lows. Most important of all is:
Success isn’t just about ticking boxes or accumulating material things - It’s about creating something that works for you - something that feels good, not just looks good.
I created Your Vision Coaching to help you:
👉Think differently about what success really means to you
👉Reconnect with your vision - for your business and your life
👉Break free from old patterns, overthinking, and avoidance
👉Lead with clarity, calm and intention
👉Take aligned, purposeful action that creates real results
👉See themselves and their reality differently
This is where mindset meets momentum.
Where insight turns into strategy - and strategy turns into positive, forward-focused change.
I work with women in business across the UK, with a particular focus on those in Derbyshire, Burton on Trent, South Derbyshire and the surrounding areas.

My approach is focused on who you are being, as much as what you are doing. This includes elements of business coaching, leadership coaching, life coaching, mindset coaching, as well as clarity and confidence coaching. I aim to be your thinking partner and an unreasonable friend, both in our coaching conversations and beyond.
What I Believe
👉Happiness, well-being and sustainable performance come from within
👉Self-leadership is the foundation of everything
👉We often know more than we think - we just need space to hear it
👉Equally, we don’t know what we don’t know – we all have blind spots (including coaches!)
👉Pausing isn’t failing or lazy - it’s vital to how we reset, refocus, and move forward with purpose
👉You don’t need more hustle - just a clearer vision and a way of working that fits
My approach blends deep coaching, practical strategy, and insight-led support. We explore what’s holding you back, reimagine what’s possible, and help you take action that sticks.
