MY STORY

It was about 1990 when I began personal development coaching in an informal way by helping friends, family and work colleagues to take stock of their lives and to work on their own progression and self learning.

Later on I carried my style of mentoring (as I called it) over into my management jobs in which I had training responsibilities. I found that my techniques were so empowering for my staff that we would get amazing results. I soon realised that I had a passion for coaching and my purpose in life was to help people move forward and achieve.

Always looking to address my own personal development I continue to study NLP, psychology, and other mind conscious and well being related subjects

In 1996 I discovered that there was such a profession as Life Coaching and that I had already been practicing it in my work as a manager or as a business owner.

In between my management jobs, I had started and ran 3 businesses of my own. Importing children’s designer wear from Italy, Holland, Germany, France USA. A Letting agency – in London. A hairdressing salon – also in London. Additionally, I’ve worked in promotional marketing for several years. I even had a stint in the film industry as a film extra.

In 2004 I took formal Life Coach training with Achievement Specialist and started my practice in Sept 2005 and it has made steady progress ever since.

I'm available now to provide workshops, courses and personal coaching that offers focus, motivation and accountablity to help you get to where you want to go.

MY SKILLS

As a successful Coach I have to be good at listening to your wants and needs which are sometimes not immediately apparent in the coaching process. Equally important is being able to ask powerful, thought provoking questions so that you can really get to see the choices that are available to you. I also use skills developed over many years get to your real issues so that you can begin to act on your own truth.

MY STRENGTHS

Being non-judgmental is a strength I believe is just part of my nature. This helps enormously by allowing my clients to be open and honest with me so that they can express their innermost thoughts and desires.

MY STYLE

Is vibrant, easy going and incredibly inspirational. I draw on information, research and quotes from some of the masters of the Coaching fraternity to bring motivational insights to each encounter with my clients.

MY MISSION

To be the first port of call for individuals who want to make positive choices for their lifestyle, relationships and business. To enable empowerment, and inspiration through focus, motivation and accountability.
