I make change easier for people so they can improve their performance and achieve their desired goals. As a cognitive behavioural coach, I help my clients to uncover the tools needed to make the changes they want to make and to cope with the changes that they did not choose but have to accept! Working with individuals and organisations, I help them improve performance and increase confidence and resilience. Coaching is a collaborative process which supports self-efficacy, problem-solving and learning new skills. Whoever my client is and whatever they are facing I know that coaching offers the opportunities to improve both their work life and their overall quality of life. I help my coaching clients to see their situations from a fresh perspective, to define their goals and to find their own path to reach those goals. As an accredited Professional Certified Coach with the International Coaching Federation I follow their code of ethics – both when interacting with clients and in continuing my own professional development as a coach. With 20 years of coaching, training and facilitation experience I have worked with clients from diverse backgrounds and sectors including healthcare, technology, finance, non-profit and academia. My background as a counsellor gives me added insight into human behaviour and motivations. In addition to coaching I deliver regular workshops and speeches (online and in person) on topics such as: - How to have difficult conversations effectively - Overcoming creative blocks for designers and creatives - Career makeover tips - Procrastination, Performance & Perfectionism Whatever their reasons for seeking coaching support, I partner with my coaching clients to face the future with confidence and a strategy to get to where they want to be. Specialities: Performance coaching, cognitive behavioural coaching, cultural adjustment (expatriation or repatriation), career transition, executive and leadership coaching, conflict coaching.
