About me

What I can do for you

I help you move forwards into a professional and personal life that you enjoy and can thrive in. Together we begin exploring options and how to make the  changes you want to. Other clients have said one of my key skills is to cut through to the essence of any issues or barriers you are facing thus enabling you to take key action steps quickly. I then hold you accountable to these agreed actions  in our sessions and via email in between our meetings. The coaching service I provide is a wrap around one supporting you online inbetween our sessions.

I coach a variety of clients who come to me for different reasons wanting different results. Most recently clients have come to me for help in becoming a better leader, small business coaching, wanting to make career changes, go for promotion internally and working through challenges they have handling different personalities in their current role. Additionally, I have leaders who come to me who want to develop their own coaching and mentoring skills for their team. I also support any one who is wanting to take a passion project or side hussle into a more formal profitable business as well as business owners/founders who want an external sounding board to support the next phase of their organisational growth.

My expertise lies particularly in supporting people at a career crossroads, setting up a business, trying to achieve work/life balance, leaders in challenging roles plus aspiring leaders.

I have a wealth of over 30 years experience across a variety of industries, as well as a high level of formal certification for coaching which demands continual focus on my own CPD. Through three decades of this work, I have learnt to truly empower my clients to live life to the full. Not only will we work together to identify your goals, we will accelerate the speed at which you move towards achieving them via a simple plan of action.


The process

Firstly, we will meet for your free consultation. This is both for you to find out if you would like to work with me, and for me to understand you, your needs and to assess if I am best person to help you (this is only fair, and if I feel you are better suited to another coach, I will refer you).

Next, I will suggest the best coaching package for you. By designing a programme to suit your unique characteristics, we pave the way for the best outcome possible. I will help grow your confidence in bringing your ideas to life, both in your personal and professional lives. My pragmatic support and high-energy encouragement will help you work towards getting where you want to be.  I am in continual contact with you from the moment we start working together. You will probably get homework from the first intial consult.

Why we will make such a great team?  For one simple reason: I am passionate about personal development and growth. More than that, it is my life! Both personally  and professionally. This passion is instilled in my clients, all of whom experience and witness the countless benefits and lifestyle changes resulting from my work with them. I am in regular contact still with clients I stopped formally coaching many years ago. Once a client always a client.

My biggest passions are continual personal growth, learning and the enjoyment of life! Life is about making the most of the journey, not only the destination which you want to reach. If you want to grow you must learn to step outside your comfort zone. I promise to support you on whatever path you decide to embark upon, and to provide ideas, challenges and unwavering belief in you, every step of the way

About You and I

My goal is to make positive changes in your life by helping you explore your options, gain clarity and inspire you to take the required action

Things you should know about me

Career Changes

I have great experience in career change. At the age of 18 I made the wrong career choice. Happily, I turned this around once when I was 21. Then again for a second time when I 39. So trust me, I have first hand knowledge of being unhappy in a career, and know exactly how important it is to gain control of it.

Credentials

I have equipped myself with qualifications in Accountancy, NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) and Professional Coaching. ICF and AoC. I have also held roles of  Senior Leadership within a high-tech multinational company, in Event Management and built a successful Training and Development business which is still evolving and growing over 20 years after startup in 2000. Training and Coaching Exceptional Leaders alongwith coaching and mentoring high performers in all disciplines and at all levels within organisations.

Overcoming Fears

I am very proud of the fact that I have overcome one of my greatest fears: swimming in open water. Three years before the event, I couldn't even swim one length of front crawl! Yet in 2006, after a lot of hard work on both fitness and mental fear I completed the UK Ironman Triathlon! I was so proud of myself, I got the Ironman Tattoo!

Being Brave

I did the unthinkable. I left a 19 year marriage. I was able to do that because I had the trust there was a better life out there for me. It was the hardest thing I have ever done, but I had such a strong belief in my capability to create a better life for myself, that I was able to do it.

Life Outside of Work

As you will have gathered, I love learning, growth and personal development. I also love reading and podcasts -  I always have a book on the go. I have a large blended family and a very wide selction of great friends! with five grown up children and five grandchildren between us. Having previously competed in Triathlons of all distances I then practiced Ashtanga Yoga for over 9 years and now my latest challenge is learning to become a good golfer.  I also love to go on holiday with my partner to escape the craziness and relax. Although, it doesn't take long to miss my normal routine and health/wellbeing activities I am involved with. 


About You


Now you know about me, lets look at the kind of people I work with to see if you are one of them:

My clients know they need to make changes, and although they don't know how to just yet, they are willing to work to find out.

They often have deep-rooted dreams which require exploration in order to create the next steps to achieve them.

A common characteristic amongst my clients is that they thrive from challenges! Instead of seeing them as problems and negative parts of life, they consider them opportunities and a means to progress and learn. If this isn't you, but wish it was - don't worry! Working with me will change that!

My clients are happy to acknowledge and take responsibility for their own life. They know that they are in control of their own destiny, and so are ready to do something about it. Even if they haven't done so in such a way before.

They also recognise the power of being accountable and supported by a coach in order to drive action, whether that is reaching career goals, hitting work targets, or simply creating the life they desire professionally and/or personally. Even us coaches have our own coaches to support us.

If you would like, I can put you in touch with previous clients after the initial consultation to find out about their experiences working with me. You can also do this by going to the website and check the  testimonials section or google reviews.
