ABOUT BELINDA
Warm, honest conversations about what can change.
Belinda Warburton is a professional speaker and facilitator based in Essex. Her work centres on women and the hidden sentences that can influence our confidence, choices, boundaries and whether we say what we really think.
Through personal stories, thoughtful questions and practical activities, she invites women to recognise the patterns behind those sentences and consider whether they are still true today.
Although much of Belinda’s work centres on women’s experiences, the principles behind it are also relevant to wider teams and leadership groups.

THE EXPERIENCE BEHIND THE WORK
How Belinda got here
Belinda began her working life at Marks & Spencer at 16 through the Youth Training Scheme (YTS). She later became an Area Service Manager for Weight Watchers across Essex, supporting and leading around 50 women, before leaving the corporate world to run her own women’s fashion boutique for 12 years.
Working so closely with women gave her an honest view of the expectations, doubts and limiting beliefs that can sit beneath the surface, regardless of age, background or apparent confidence.
After closing her boutique following the pandemic, Belinda trained as an accredited coach and went on to facilitate work in homelessness prevention. That training and experience strengthened the way she listens, asks questions and creates conversations in which people feel able to be honest.
Her professional experience sits alongside a life that has included change, loss, starting again and questioning some of the sentences she had believed for years. Rather than presenting herself as someone with all the answers, Belinda speaks from what she has lived and learned, including the moments she can now look back on and laugh about.
Today, she brings her leadership experience, business background, facilitation skills and lived experience into talks and workshops that combine thought-provoking, practical content with warmth, honesty and plenty of laughter.
Belinda believes serious subjects can be explored with honesty, humour and absolutely no judgement.
Rise & Roar Framework™
A practical way to understand the stories behind our patterns.
Belinda’s talks and workshops are informed by the Rise & Roar Framework™, developed through her lived experience, professional work and training.
The framework explores how our experiences shape the stories we tell ourselves, and how those stories can become patterns that influence our confidence, choices, boundaries and relationships. It creates space to recognise those patterns, understand where they began and decide whether they still reflect the person we are today.
Belinda does not offer ready-made answers. Instead, she uses honest stories, thoughtful questions and practical activities to help people identify what may be holding them back and find realistic ways forward.
