thriving not just surviving

My Story

Experiencing adversity from an early age, I had to overcome numerous challenges, obstacles and setbacks. I did however emerge with a deep inner resilience and a resolute sense of hope and optimism. 

This is what drew me to the science of optimal human functioning. Over the years I’ve completed several training programs in positive psychology, resilience and coaching to deepen my understanding of how we can flourish in life. 

It’s been more than 20 years since I set out on this journey. In that time, I’ve had the pleasure of walking alongside thousands of people as their coach, mentor and trainer. I’ve worked internationally in and for a variety of organisations across private, public and third sectors. I’ve been an employee, a leader, and an entrepreneur.

Growing up in Australia, I have also lived and worked in Finland, France, Sweden and the UK and consider myself a global citizen who loves exploring new cultures and communities. 

This breadth and depth of life and professional experience has equipped me with the ability to see the bigger picture while also being able to zero in on the micro. As your coach, I am your agile thinking partner, partnering with you to expand your perspective and gain rich insights that drive innovative thinking and growth. 

Mission

It’s likely you’ve also faced and overcome challenges and obstacles in your life. Perhaps you are facing some right now. 

My mission is to be your thinking and solution-finding partner helping you navigate your life and career with clarity. I do this by focusing on your desired future, recognising strengths and resources and mapping a way forward that instils confidence and a renewed motivation to live the life you want. 

If you’re a leader or HR professional, you are probably looking for solutions to challenges like performance, engagement and talent retention. When working with teams and organisations, I apply the same philosophy of recognising and leveraging strengths. Building on what’s going well and moving towards a desired outcome that benefits individuals, the team and the organisation. 

For larger projects, I work with a team of selected expert career, executive and leadership coaches. My team has been carefully selected over many years and I trust them implicitly to deliver the same high standards that I do.
