My Connection Statement

Identity Empowerment Coaching

I help introverted women stand out in a crowded job market, to find their brave, articulate their value and to successfully clarify their job search objectives.  Through my supportive customised coaching programs and career counselling strategies.

About Me - My Biography

I live on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, with my hubby and our fur baby Frankie. We have two beautiful adult daughters, and I enjoy Hatha Yoga and visualisation meditation, which I try and do each morning as soon as I get up out of bed. My favourite past-time is walking along the beach, and I love being amongst nature. I generally eat healthily, well as much as possible, 95% of the time, and enjoy the indulgence of dark chocolate and a glass of red wine or two!

I am the Founder of Identity Empowerment Coaching, a Career & Life Transition Coaching Practice 

I help introverted women how to stand out in a crowded job market, to find their brave, articulate their value and to successfully clarify their job search objectives.  Through my supportive customised coaching programs and career counselling strategies.

My professional experience is as a Certified Career Development Practitioner, Counsellor, Transformation & Life Purpose Coach, large Corporate/Small Business Management and Leadership.

I am passionate about helping women who are introverted, to create and develop their success in their career and life goals. Assisting them in identifying their strengths, values and skills and in recognising areas in their lives which may be holding them back from making change and living how they choose to live. I help my clients to develop a clear plan of action to set motivating & achievable goals, increase their confidence and breakthrough and acknowledge their fear.
I am an independent introvert myself!  However, over the years I have learnt to embrace who I am as a person and to be at ease with just being my true self.  Yes, I still catch myself out overthinking and being a perfectionist.  Which I think you would agree, runs through the veins of most introverts.  But I have worked out strategies to find my brave and to be successful in my career and life.
Late last year, at the young age of 50, I was given the nudge I needed to break free from my corporate career of 12 years. As the story goes, a new General Manager comes on board, and within three months, he makes all eight Australia-wide Operational Business Manager roles redundant! Terrified, relieved and onboard an emotional roller coaster best describes this experience! However, being pretty resilient and an extremely independent person, I made a choice, I wanted to be in complete control of my life with regards to my freedom of time, my life success and how I would run my own business.

My words of wisdom to myself are ”Évery thought you think creates your reality” and  ”Forget all the reasons why you think it won’t work and believe in all the reasons why it will”.  If you have a ‘growth mindset’ you are on your way to the road of your success!

I look forward to connecting with you in ‘Her Business Network’.

Have a lovely day!

My Passions

I am passionate about helping introverted women create and develop their career and life goals. Assisting them in identifying their strengths, values and skills and in recognising areas in their lives which may be holding them back from making change and living how they choose to live. I help women to develop a clear plan of action to set motivating & achievable goals, increase their confidence and breakthrough and acknowledge their fear.

The feeling of being able to nurture and empower women to live their life to their full potential, by helping them find their way to life success is truly a celebration which inspires me in my business.

My Interests

Living on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, allows me to enjoy walking our beautiful beaches with our family and our dog Frankie.  I enjoy spending time with friends catching up for dinner or coffee.  Upon rising, my routine in the morning consists typically of  30 minutes of Hatha Yoga and a 15-minute visualisation/meditation.  I love to learn, and my favourite books of choice are generally business-related.  I call my car ‘my temple of learning’ as I usually always have a podcast or audiobook playing.

I am passionate about good food and try to eat fresh, healthy eating, enjoying the occasional piece of dark chocolate (90%) and a good glass of red wine.

We live in the hinterland of the Sunshine Coast on 3 acres and grow our vegetables and fruit organically; this can sometimes be a challenge, sharing with our hungry bugs!

I enjoy listening to music, a fan of several 80’s English bands, my mainstream radio of choice is Triple J, being a lover of indie/unearthed music and when I need to let off steam, cranking up The Gang of Youths is excellent therapy.

Why I Became a HerBusiness Member

I became a member of the HerBusiness network after the business summit in February 2020.  I was blown away by the content quality and what I was able to take away from the summit to apply to my business.  The guest presenters were all of a high calibre, providing invaluable information and the amazing part was the summit was free!

I had been a member of a network in the UK but found the time difference a challenge for attending live webinars, so when I landed upon the HBN summit and participated in the HBN community Facebook group,  I knew with the support that I was being provided I had found my tribe of like-minded members, it just felt right.

The workshops events are always interesting and great networking opportunities.  I also enjoy being a part of an HBN goals group, with some wonderful ladies who keep me accountable to my goals, dreams and business aspirations!
