Background
After qualifying with a degree in French and German in the 1980′s, I wanted to use my languages in business. I quickly realised that the best way would be to learn a professional skill – so I trained as a computer programmer and began a career in IT. I soon became the “bridge” between the IT department and the rest of the business, as a business analyst, systems designer and project manager.
I worked for organisations across a range of industry sectors, including pharmaceuticals, finance, management consultancy and local government, travelling to offices around the world and often managing multi-lingual, cross-functional, geographically-disparate project teams. My expertise is in delivering creative solutions to business problems: first I help clients to define their business requirements, then I translate those requirements into a viable solution – technical or otherwise.
After an eighteen year career in IT, my job was made redundant. Seeing this as an opportunity to do something different, I spent some time considering my options – which included property development and teaching English as a Foreign Language – before discovering coaching. It felt like “coming home”, and as I learned more about the coaching process, I realised that my management style had been very much about coaching my team.
While gaining experience as a coach, I began to combine my creative and problem solving talents with coaching skills, to enable clients to gain the confidence to choose their own unique career path or develop a business – and to lead a more inspired, joyful and fulfilling life. I also combine coaching with my expertise in website design and training to assist my business clients to market themselves more effectively.
My clients have included life coaches, web and graphic designers, musicians, photographers, interior designers, writers, composers and artists, as well as managers in IT, marketing, publishing and education (see client testimonials).
Having been diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2008, and again in 2011, I am keen to help other women who have recovered from Breast Cancer and who want to live life to the full, develop their creative talents, and turn their passions into a profitable business.
I’m an experienced NLP Coach and Master Practitioner of Neuro Lingistic Programming (NLP), Time Line Therapy®, Create Your Future Coaching® and Hypnosis, and hold a Professional Coaching Certificate accredited by the International Coach Federation.
“A natural teacher and communicator”, my interests include photography, writing, singing, and reading anything that’s within focusing distance. I also love to travel and learn new languages whenever I get the opportunity.
I live with my singer/songwriter husband in New Malden, KT3, on the borders of South West London and Surrey, in the UK.
