Overcoming many significant challenges, obstacles and setbacks from an early age (including leaving school at just 14 years old), I emerged with a deep inner resilience and a resolute sense of hope and optimism.
This is what drew me to learn as much as I could about the science of optimal human functioning. How can we thrive after experiencing negative life events? Over the years, I’ve completed numerous 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 the private, public, and third sectors. I’ve been an employee, a leader, and an entrepreneur.
Growing up in Australia, I have since lived and worked in the UK, Finland, France and Sweden. I consider myself a global citizen with an adventurous and curious mind who loves exploring new cultures and communities.
The breadth and depth of my life and professional experience have equipped me with the ability to see the bigger picture while also being able to zero in on the micro as needed.
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.
You’ve likely faced and overcome challenges and obstacles in your life too. Perhaps you’re 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 with a solution-focused approach, 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. I apply the same philosophy of recognising and leveraging strengths when working with teams and organisations. 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 and results that I do.
If you are an individual reading this, I know what it feels like to be stuck, to face setbacks, and to wonder if a fulfilling career is possible. My story is one of perseverance, transformation, and a relentless belief in the potential of every individual. As a coach, I partner with my clients to help them build meaningful, rewarding lives and careers – because I’ve lived the journey myself. If you’re ready to discover your strengths, clarify your values, and create a future that excites you, I’m here to help you take the next step.
