Phyllis Briggs is a New Zealand-based life coach, mentor, and entrepreneur.
She has spent years helping women reset their direction, rebuild confidence and take practical steps toward the life they want.
She is the founder and director of She Succeeds Limited, established in 2009, and has created and led multiple businesses across coaching, retreats and personal development.
But more than titles or companies, Phyllis is passionate about one thing:
Helping women realise it’s never too late to change direction. The Real Story Behind She Succeeds. Phyllis didn’t build She Succeeds from theory. She built it from lived experience. Over the years, her own life has required deep resilience and reinvention. Through the loss of her husband, the disruption of the Christchurch earthquakes, and the uncertainty and upheaval of COVID, she has had to rebuild, pivot and start again more than once.
These chapters shaped the heart of She Succeeds. Because real life doesn’t follow a straight line. Plans change. Circumstances shift. Unexpected things happen. And yet the desire to create a meaningful, energised life never disappears.

Today, Phyllis helps women navigate change, rediscover direction and take practical steps toward the next version of their lives — with compassion, clarity and momentum.
Many women reach a point where they quietly wonder:
Is this all there is?
What do I actually want next?
Can I really change my life now?
Phyllis created She Succeeds to be the place where those questions turn into clarity, courage and action.
Her work blends:
Life Coaching
Supportive guidance to gain clarity, rebuild confidence, and move forward with purpose.
Mindset Shifts
Replacing self-doubt with empowering beliefs that fuel momentum.
Habit Change
Simple, sustainable actions that create lasting progress.
Goal Setting
Turning vision into clear, practical next steps.
Real-world strategies that actually fit busy lives. No fluff. No perfection required. Just forward movement.
What Phyllis Believes
Success isn’t one-size-fits-all.
Success can look like:
- Starting a business
- Rebuilding your health
- Creating financial independence
- Designing a lifestyle you love
- Rediscovering confidence and purpose
- Waking up excited about your day again
She Succeeds is built on the belief that women don’t need fixing — they need support, structure and momentum.
The Mission
To help women:
Gain clarity about what they want
Take brave, practical action
Build habits that support their future
Feel proud of the life they’re creating
Because when one woman succeeds, the ripple effect reaches families, communities and future generations.
A Personal Note from Phyllis
If life has thrown unexpected change your way, you’re not alone. I know what it feels like to have to pivot, rebuild and start again. If you’ve ever felt the nudge that life could be bigger, better or different — trust that feeling.
You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to take the next step.
And you don’t have to do it alone.
Welcome to She Succeeds!
