| What makes you a good coach? | I really care. I’m “with” you, fully present and able to get through to the heart of the matter and I want your success as much as you do.
I bring confidence, masterful listening skills, and a weight of experience: Coaching is not a hobby for me nor something I picked up along the way, but a full-time vocation I’ve been immersed in and dedicated to. I’ve invested in you before we’ve begun. I provide a space in which you can say what’s truly going on and be held yet stretched beyond your current thinking and to experience yourself in a state of being that your goals require of you. Therefore the results we attain are the most relevant results arising from the most powerful place within. I use a wide range of approaches to tailor to the each client’s needs, unique to you and your situation, the right combination of proven methods and innovation. |
| What sort of people do you work best with? | People who want to go through a personal transformation as part of their professional development.
Other coaches, professionals, business owners and leaders of any level, (particularly Senior). Those who value self-actualization, are highly functioning, motivated, and aware. Aboriginal people; parents; career-driven; those who might also have a sense of “searching” and exploring core identity. |
| Key Personal experience/ strengths/ achievements you bring to coaching | Well-travelled, and no stranger to being on edges between worlds and in powerful cycles of change that have me adapting to new realities. Dual citizen of Australia and USA (Boston – born). Formerly married. Mother of identical twins, one living his human journey with me and one who is with us in spirit. I have a sense of my life being one of a mysterious adventure, a meaningful path that is both by my design and is unfolding before me. I feel really blessed to be living my dream in so many ways. |
| Are you willing to coach over the phone? | Yes |
| Hobbies/interests outside of work (bullet points or free text) | I see my work and personal life interconnected, fuelling each other. I love running on the beach, and am determined to get up on a surfboard. I’m learning to create a sustainable way of life in harmony with the Earth, connected to nature. I’m “into” learning/sharing Jungian perspectives, ancient tradition and spirituality, and practices that open the heart and still the mind. I love: poetry, great music, and expressions of the soul; camping; making a fire; and being as social as I am introverted. I still love to recapture my childhood through ice-skating, art and catching snowflakes if I can find them. |
