Her career began in HR and learning & development, where she supported leaders to build stronger teams, develop communication skills, and implement people strategies that drive results. This background gave her a deep understanding of the internal barriers that hold business owners back - like imposter syndrome, lack of focus, or the inability to articulate their value and inspired her mission to change that. Wendy's signature approach is simple but powerful: stop hiding, get clear on your message, and just ASK. This philosophy runs through every aspect of The ASK, which she co-authored with Russell Dalgleish to demystify the process of reaching out for help, building partnerships, and stepping into the spotlight. In The ASK, Wendy shares tools, stories, and frameworks designed to help small business owners ASK for what they need, whether it's support, investment, introductions, or visibility. She knows from experience that most entrepreneurs are brilliant at what they do, but struggle to communicate their worth or ASKfor help without feeling like they're failing. Her mission is to flip that script and empower people to see Asking not as a weakness, but as a strength. Wendy is also the editor of www.sentinel.scot, a Scottish business publication that celebrates innovation, entrepreneurship, and community. She uses the platform to spotlight the people and organisations driving change across Scotland and beyond, while giving others the tools and encouragement to share their own stories.As a business coach, author and speaker, Wendy has helped business owners move from self-doubt to self-published.
