Why coaching?

“Since a young age, I have been fascinated with the science of personal development and GROWTH”

Exactly what is it, that makes us genuinely happy and fulfilled?

I didn’t wake up one day and decide to become a personal life and performance Coach.

Nor could I have ever been able to serve others in this capacity twenty or even ten years ago.

I had to go through my own journey in life and discover my own authenticity through experiences and learnings.

Learning through pain,

learning through growth,

learning through love,

learning through education

learning through dedication and commitment to serve my family, friends, clients, students and broader community.

I am a mum to a beautiful adult daughter.

I have worked hard all my life.

I consistently educate myself and will always.

I have accomplished things I am proud of,and done it on my own.

I am blessed with great family and friends who have seen the best and the worst of me.

I am as vulnerable as everyone else.

I have to work hard on myself every single day to continue getting better at me.

The interesting thing is, that in my soul I always had a deep interest for connecting with others and learning about how people can flourish.  When I was 14 years of age, I recall having an incredible,personal development conversation with my father which stirred in my soul a realization, I could have this magnificent deep conversation at a level beyond my years. From there I was always curious about the wonders of the mind and how humans develop.

My background is Education (Teaching and Coaching), and Sales & Marketing in the Media sector. Other interests include visual arts and I have studied Graphic Art as well as PR and writing – I love this creative part of my life.

Through my young teaching life I was inspired when I came across a network marketing business which introduced me to the world of personal growth like I had never experienced.  The business had a personal development education program where I would read one personal development book a month and listen to audio weekly from global thought leaders. How fortunate I was.

This led me to follow my interest in the business world and I have since spent over 20 years working in the media sector across Sales & Marketing functions, but still kept my toe in Education.

In more recent times I have had the opportunity to work with the business of Wellbeing Media.  How extraordinary I was now immersed in the subject I have always loved!

So, I took accredited study in Positive Psychology & Wellbeing and I had the opportunity to develop content and teach on the subject at the same time.

Finally, I realised that THIS is my meaning and purpose in life – to serve and work with others to grow and get better at themselves – to be their own interior designer!

So off I went again to gain some more accreditation!

Coaching presented to me when it was meant to. Me with all my faults and frailties, just like you.

Research tells us that working with people’s greatest assets – their strengths and values, and what is RIGHT with them – provides the greatest potential for growth.   At the same time, Coaching can create breakthroughs for clients held back from moving their lives forward.

I have worked with clients on their life purpose and work mission, to mindset and managing wholistic Wellbeing.  I am one of the founders of the retreat concept, I AM – The Selfish Retreats, I write and design MINDframes for individuals and businesses – all this to share and live my learnings – to make people’s lives richer and mine for doing it!

I look forward to serving you
