About your coach
I have learned that I am a focused, gutsy individual with great determination. I have the ability to turn tragedy into positivity, and don't let anything get me down for too long. Humour is always bubbling away near the surface, looking for a way to connect. I love human banter!

I gain massive fulfillment from helping another person to discover hidden skills and abilities, and I love passing on some of my tools to others.

I am flexible, approachable, friendly and challenging - all at the same time :-)

One of the things that I feel makes me a great coach is my experience of life.

• I suffered from abysmal shyness as a child and for the early part of my adult life
• I have tried many things that didn't work, until I found out what I wanted to do
• I have learned from every single experience in my life
• I once did not know how to communicate with others successfully
• I spent most of my life looking for external things to create my life
• I finally worked out that being myself and appreciating everything [good & bad] in my life
  was the way to fulfillment!
