    I’m Winging the Podcast. I’m Not Winging the Work.

    I’m still finding my feet with podcasting.I lose my place, stumble over words and occasionally start a sentence with absolutely no idea where it’s going. 😂And yet somehow this little podcast has gone from me wondering whether I had one listener who wasn’t me… to more than 25 listens an episode.So maybe, just maybe, it isn’t quite as bad as I think.But there’s an important distinction I wanted to make in this episode:I might still be finding my feet as a podcaster. I’m not finding my feet in business.Podcasting is new. Running businesses, solving problems, making decisions and getting things done isn’t.In this episode, I talk about the experience behind Noriqo, continuing to run Property Stage Masters, why starting again doesn’t necessarily mean starting from zero and, a new idea that might just be the missing link between everything I’m building now.Call me crazy, but I think I may have found something that allows three separate businesses to work alongside each other, complement each other and lets me keep a part of the construction and property world that has been such a huge part of my life.I’m not sharing exactly what it is just yet.It’s still being developed.But I will. I also talk about why experience doesn’t disappear when one chapter of your life ends, why I’m quite comfortable in the “messy middle” of business, and why sometimes you don’t need another employee or another adviser.Sometimes you just need an experienced person who can look at something and say:Right. What needs doing?Noriqo supports individuals, founders and businesses with independent thinking, practical support and hands-on delivery.You can book through EveryExpert or directly at noriqo.co.Noriqo: Navigating ChangeShare the load.

    Have you ever had to start again?

    Have you ever had the life you thought you knew change completely? In this episode of Noriqo: Navigating Change, Zoe talks honestly about survival, rebuilding and what happens when life no longer looks anything like the one you expected to be living. From business loss, relationship upheaval and systems that let you down, to isolation, lost confidence and the reality of simply trying to get through the next day, this episode explores the difference between surviving and actually starting again. Zoe also talks about the person behind Noriqo: still running Property Stage Masters, building Noriqo, writing her book, creating opportunities and working out what the next chapter of life should look like while she is living it. Podcasting might still be new territory. Business isn’t. An honest episode about experience, resilience, capability and the question that eventually comes after: “How do I get my old life back?” Maybe the better question is: “What do I want to build now?” Noriqo support can now be booked through EveryExpert or directly at noriqo.co.

    Noriqo Wasn’t Born in a Boardroom

    Season 2 continues with a more personal story about where Noriqo actually came from. Zoe looks back more than twenty years to an early remote PA business, the first networking event she ever attended, the terrifying 60-second introduction that led to her first client — and the Chanel sunglasses she bought with that first payment and still wears today. She also talks about how life later took a very different direction, why the idea for Noriqo began after a difficult period in her own life, and how she ended up building the business while away in Spain with her little boy. There’s the moment he pressed the button that made the Noriqo website live, the late-night swim in the sea afterwards, and the slightly less glamorous reality of Noriqo’s first client — who didn’t actually pay. 😂 An episode about ideas, confidence, starting things before you feel ready, learning the hard way, and realising that rebuilding doesn’t necessarily mean trying to recreate the life you had before. Sometimes the question isn’t: “How do I get back to where I was?” Sometimes it’s: “What could I build from here?” Noriqo: Navigating Change

    My Own Podcast Is Boring Me, So I’m Changing It

    Season 2 starts with a reset. In this episode, Zoe talks honestly about why the first season of Noriqo: Navigating Change started to feel too polished, too scripted and not enough like her. She talks about being completely new to podcasting, using scripts because she’s nervous, stumbling over words, listening back and barely recognising herself and why trying too hard to sound approachable can somehow make you sound less natural. This episode marks a shift. Less repeating what the Noriqo website already says. More real conversation. More stories. More business experience. More rebuilding. More mistakes. More of the things that genuinely matter to Zoe. She also talks about why she wants Noriqo itself to feel approachable, why nobody needs to have everything perfectly organised before asking for help, and why the comments are now open for questions, conversations, subject ideas and disagreement. There’s also a glimpse into the bigger true story Zoe is writing separately without giving that story away. Season 2 is going a little more off piste. Hopefully, it sounds a little more like Zoe too.

    Please Take This Off My Desk.

    In this episode of Noriqo: Navigating Change, Zoe looks at a practical question: what can you actually hand over when your business needs more capacity? Sometimes you need somewhere confidential to think through a decision. Sometimes you need somebody to work alongside you on a project, process, recruitment, suppliers, costs, business development or another piece of work. And sometimes you simply want to say: “Please take this off my desk.” This episode explores the different ways Noriqo Business can support owners, directors and teams — from one-off conversations and focused blocks of time to projects, monthly retained support, fractional involvement and interim help. Because support doesn’t have to fit one rigid model. Sometimes you need someone to think it through with.Sometimes you need someone to help get it done.And sometimes you just need another experienced pair of hands.

    Sometimes You Just Need Another Pair of Hands

    In this episode of Noriqo: Navigating Change, Zoe looks at what happens when a business doesn’t necessarily need more advice — it simply needs some additional experienced capacity. Sometimes the business is struggling. But sometimes it is growing, winning work, taking on new opportunities or simply has more sitting with the existing team than there are hours available to deal with. Zoe talks about the difference between discussing what needs to happen and actually helping make it happen — from projects, suppliers and processes to recruitment, research, costs, communications and operational priorities. She also explores why support doesn’t always need to mean another permanent hire. Depending on what the business needs, it might be a one-off project, half a day, a day, regular weekly support, a bespoke monthly retainer, fractional involvement or interim support for a defined period. Because sometimes you need someone to think it through with. And sometimes you need someone to help actually get it done. Noriqo can do both.

    You Don’t Have to Wait Until Breaking Point

    In this episode of Noriqo: Navigating Change, Zoe talks about why support does not have to begin at crisis point. Whether personally or in business, it is easy to keep functioning while quietly carrying too much. Sometimes the challenge is pressure, change or uncertainty. Sometimes things are going well, but you still need somewhere independent to think clearly. This episode explores the difference between functioning and being okay, why isolation can begin to feel safer than disappointment, and how difficult it can become to see solutions once everything starts to merge into one overwhelming problem. Zoe also talks about the business side of carrying responsibility alone, including the reality of being the person everyone else looks to for answers, and why support can range from confidential sounding-board conversations to practical, hands-on commercial and operational help. A personal and honest episode about rebuilding, perspective, and taking the next step before everything reaches breaking point.

    Who supports the person carrying the responsibility?

    Running a business can be isolating, even when things are going well. In this episode, Zoe talks about why directors and business owners sometimes need something different from another adviser or employee: an independent, confidential sounding board. Someone to share the mental load with, test decisions, gain another perspective and help keep pressure from becoming overwhelm. Noriqo works quietly in the background alongside directors and business owners, with support that can flex as circumstances change.
