Ive always had a passion to support people in reaching their fullest potential. I see a lot of wastage in people spending time in negative self talk or at an organizational level, trying to work their way through limiting values of control, fear, beurocracy, exploitation…. At a personal level, l made the shift as a young mum, I was completely dedicated to supporting my sons in being the best that they could be and I knew the only chance l had at that… was to be a conscious and aware mother.. to be aware of my own physiology, mood and language and the impacts that l could create on a young mind. I knew it had to start with me.. it became my mantra to raise resilient, resourceful and compassionate young men… so every decision l made was about creating that reality… At a professional level, many years ago when l worked on large scale projects in corporate banking, l saw many great projects fail with significant losses in particular around reputational damage and ultimately financial damage… the one thing that differentiated a good project from a failed project, was the degree to which people could work cohesively and ultimately the degree to which they could demonstrate their own integrity and honesty in any given situation. My message is far broader now… as l enage with indigenous communiies and society… We all have subconscious fears that are triggered from time to time which impact our relationships, both at home and work. Learning how to identify, manage and then release these fears can be a life-long process. Having this level of self awareness… I believe, is the making of a good coach… sol am constantly on a journey of learning and evolving Who is your IDEAL client and how do you support them? I couldn’t name my ideal client. They are all different and have unique challenges and opportunities. What l love about all my clients, is that they recognize a need for themselves and then they find me.. I then go about engaging them in dialogue about what they are looking to create. I love the metaphore… doing things with people… not to them. My clients have full ownership of the process of engagement and ultimately the blue print that we co-create together. I never walk in with a predetermined agenda or product. I do come forward with a philoshpy of ownership and self determination. The rest we create together . I trust that they have all the answers. Our wisdom lies in the questions that we ask, not in the answers that we pretend to have. I trust in their wisdom. My skill is in drawing out the best of who they are so they can create their own pathways.
