As a coach, facilitator and trainer, I help people understand what they want in their life (be that professional or personal) and how they can navigate their way around the barriers and blockers that might be in the way to create it. My career has spanned both operational and support roles with the last 15+ years specialising in Learning and Development, coaching and mentoring. It’s been a fantastic ride, which has seen me drive learning strategy, help identify ‘managers of tomorrow’, create and deliver engaging management and inter-personal skills training and coach some amazing people on the way.My facilitation and coaching style is underpinned by psychology and neuroscience and the belief that our mindset drives everything that we do and it must be supported by practical application. Yes, we need to understand theories, models, different ways of working and so on to be successful, but all that knowledge will be wasted if we don't first believe change is possible and secondly put that change into action. I'm a firm believer that we "can't learn to swim in the library" so I support my clients to work through whatever "yeah, but..." that might be stunting their performance and move into action. To support my 'coaching in the outdoors' initiative, I'm working towards my Mountain Leader Qualification, merging my love of the outdoors, years of climbing mountains and other adventurous pursuits.
