About me

Eleanor Lestrange - Founder of she’s got AGENCY and Co-founder of girls ALIVE

A woman with long blonde hair wearing large brown glasses and a navy T-shirt with pink text that says she's got AGENCY, smiling and taking a selfie in a room with a blurred background.

My ethos is simple . . . . .

Take responsibility for where you are, recognise the agency you have to change it, and use that to live intentionally, rather than drift through the huge opportunity that midlife presents.

Check in with your purpose and your values. Fill your life with as much of what you love and as much joy as possible. You don’t get to go around again, so if not now, when are you planning to create the life you want?

she’s got AGENCY has grown from lived experience, and from what I witnessed time and time again as co-founder of girls ALIVE. I saw women grow in confidence and do things they had never imagined possible, supported by the women around them. she’s got AGENCY carries that same belief, and applies it to a different kind of growth: taking ownership, thinking bigger, getting clear, building confidence, and moving towards the life you want with intention.

At 54, I’m excited to be on this journey with you. I’m currently working towards my qualification as a Transformational Coach, which has further inspired me to build this personal development programme for women like me. I’ve built the programme and the community I need right now, with activities and exercises from lived experience and frameworks from my course that I’ve found really powerful and want to share.

You’ll have to wait until spring 2027 for the full six-month programme, but in the meantime, I’m excited to be collaborating with some uniquely talented practitioners to bring you one-off events and mini programmes like she’s got VISION, as I build towards it.

I can’t wait to welcome you.

“Eleanor’s calm, encouraging approach brings out the best in everyone she works with. If you’re looking for someone to help you build confidence and achieve things you never thought possible, Eleanor is the person to have by your side. I genuinely don’t think I’d have completed my marathon or found the confidence to swim in open water without her belief in me.” Kelly

International Women's Day celebration, Downing St. Mar 24

girls ALIVE was recognised by the Prime Minister with a Points of Light award, calling it “a brilliant example of how individuals can create positive changes right across their communities and beyond.” In March 2024, Philippa and I were invited to a Downing Street celebration for International Women’s Day in recognition of our work.
