About Me

I have always loved working with people.  From the early stages of my career, training and developing apprentices in customer service, through to co-creating solutions with my corporate clients, to building a highly motivated team to service global business.  I have created opportunities for people to come together and seen how individuals thrive when they are supported and encouraged.

People can achieve incredible success when they understand their strengths, and have a cheerleader and a sounding board. I’ve often been that person for many of my colleagues – someone who had their back but also challenged them to be the best version of themselves.

I have held senior leadership positions, managed culturally diverse teams across a range of functions and locations, relocated to the other side of the world and back again, been a working parent, faced redundancy and switched industries, represented my country in a competitive team sport and overcome my fear of public speaking.  Through each of these I have built confidence and resilience, and a deep understanding of what it takes to strive for and reach some hefty goals.

I bring my life experience, my insights and a good dash of humour, empathy and compassion to my coaching clients, giving them deep understanding and an objective sounding board, supporting them as they gain clarity on what truly matters to them.

I coach because I love to see others succeed.
