Created by Sandie Buchan, a Principal Business Psychologist and founder of Culture & Engagement Experts Ltd, The Driven Mind: Self-Kindness Check-is rooted in both deep professional insight and lived experience.

Like many high-performing women, Sandie spent years leading teams, growing businesses and guiding others through change - all while holding herself to impossible standards behind the scenes. She recognised a pattern familiar to so many of us: Showing empathy to everyone except ourselves. 

From that realisation, this tool was born - designed specifically for high-functioning women who often run on empty while showing up strong for others. It's a practical, evidenced-based way to pause, reflect and lead yourself with the same compassion and clarity you extend outward. 

Blending business psychology, emotional intelligence and first-hand leadership experience, The Driven Mind: Self-Kindness Check-In is more than a reflection tool - it's a permission slip to shift from overdrive to self-respect, while still pursuing your ambitions.
