My goal is a simple one. To enable people to lead more fulfilled lives, be their best and succeed in what is true to them. Sometimes we get stuck in the mire; can't see the wood for the trees. My gift is to help you clear your own path.I am a straight-talker and down to earth with great insight and the ability to get to the heart of the matter quickly.Clients may come to me with the topic of problems at work when the real issue is one of a more personal nature, and vice-versa. I believe in coaching the person, not the problem as it is all connected and I love helping people to achieve more balance in their lives.Prior to re-training as a Co-Active coach with CTI (The Coaches Training Institute - the world's leading coach training organisation) I worked in Restaurant/Hospitality management for over 18 years. This provided me with the opportunity to meet, support and serve a diverse group of people with vastly different personalities leaving me in a great position to coach a wide range of individuals.What is different about a Co-Active coaching conversation? With CTI I learnt that coaching is not about solving problems, although problems will be solved. It is not primarily about improving performance, attaining goals or achieving results, although all of that will certainly happen over time in an effective coaching relationship. I believe that coaching is chiefly about discovery, awareness and choice. It is a way of empowering people to find their own answers, encouraging and supporting them on the path as they continue to make important life-giving and life-changing choice. The power of choice itself is an amazing thing, I believe that every situation has possibilities and that people really do have the power of choice in their lives.
