About Me
Life Is A Journey
However, I do believe that things often happen for a reason and I know I’ve learnt and grown through every experience. I also believe that each of us has within us all the resources and the wisdom we need and that sometimes it just takes a little help to access our inner brilliance.
My career began in my early twenties when I joined a large multinational company in their IT department. Most people who know me find this hilarious, as technology and I have something of a hit and miss relationship. Nevertheless, my logic and reasoning skills, combined with my attention to detail, deemed me trainable in the more technical stuff and so began my first real experience of self-doubt and imposter syndrome.
After a few different roles pretending to be a coder, a systems analyst, a project manager and a team leader (OK, less pretending and more doing in that last one), I eventually discovered a passion for personal development and process improvement, and I made the move over into a learning and development position. As a bit of a self-help junkie (you should see my book collection), it was the perfect job for me. Thirty years, a coaching qualification and a wealth of experience later, I decided to take early retirement and set about building my own coaching business.
Initially focusing on confidence and body image, I nevertheless found myself working with people on all sorts of different things. Experts in the coaching world advise narrowing your niche as much as possible, but I love the variety of working with different people on anything that’s needed to get them from where they are now to where they want to be. And thirty years in the corporate sector has taught me that it’s the people who make the biggest difference in any organisation, not the processes or the strategies or the technology. And so I developed my own unique brand of Personal Excellence Coaching.
