Del Parsons is a mission-driven business coach who emerged from a transformative journey of self-discovery. Growing up in a Welsh-speaking community in Anglesey, her parents instilled the belief she could achieve anything. This created both opportunity and an unspoken pressure to excel.
Her early life followed expected paths until her first significant 'failure' - dropping out of university after just six weeks. This setback became a pivotal learning experience that eventually led her to complete a psychology degree.
After university, Del built a successful corporate career in marketing agencies, steadily climbing to board-level positions. Her professional trajectory appeared ideal from the outside, yet internally she felt increasingly constrained.
Becoming a mother in 2009 catalysed the most significant transformation in her life. Her son's birth prompted bold decisions – ending her first marriage, recalibrating her career, and eventually finding personal happiness with her second husband Craig.
The transition to entrepreneurship revealed her passion for supporting female business owners. Through this evolution, Del developed deep self-trust – a stark contrast to the external validation she once craved.
Today, Del's mission to empower female founders resonates deeply within her. Looking towards her fifties, she embraces continuous growth while helping other women navigate their non-linear journeys with one powerful question: "What do you want?"
