My Expertise

I’m a professional ICF certified life & leadership coach.  

I specialise in coaching women who are discontent with an area of life and want to change so they can lead their best life beyond 40 and 50.

The discontentment may have been triggered by a health scare, a relationship breakdown, frustration at work or having a mid-life crisis now the kids are flying the coop.

They’re at that ‘life’s too short’ to be living this way cross-roads. And are looking for the best path to take towards that better life.

They want to:

Swap self-doubt with self belief because they know that self-talk is holding them back.

Build confidence because over time, self-confidence has whittled away.

Communicate in a clear and credible way so that others finally hear what they have to say.

Form healthier relationships at work and home because the relationships have become ‘stuck’ or fractured over time.

Be more productive and reduce procrastination because they’ve been living life on auto-pilot and they want more out of life.

Be less emotional because those hormonal changes in life have them sometimes acting like a crazy woman and saying things they truly didn’t mean.

Make better decisions and get rid of the ‘brain fog’ because it’s been a while since they’ve thought clearly.

More balance in their life because they’re feeling stressed and guilty that that their not good enough, not doing enough or not giving enough to the people they love the most.  

Achieve results so that they’re moving closer to leading their best life.

Using brain-friendly techniques informed by neuroscience & positive psychology, I challenge women to shift their thinking and shift their lives.

Guiding them through my evidence-based Intentional Achiever Method the women make do-able incremental changes towards that best life.

I have coached 100’s of women from all walks of life, including business owners, coaches & managers.   

 

My Passions

I’m on a mission to positively impact the lives of 1m people by transforming communities from the inside out, one woman at a time. By helping women connect and engage differently with their family, their work colleagues  and their community.

I’m passionate about help women find a cause greater than themselves so that we can collectively have a greater impact in the world.

One of my biggest why’s is to have a bigger impact myself. In the next 5 years, I plan on establishing a no-cost membership for women who don’t have access to a positive and nurturing family network, and becoming their ‘grandma’ so to speak.

The aim is to help families understand the cross-generational differences – but to also bring back some old-fashioned traditions such as eating meals together without technology at the table.

I’ll teach them brain friendly ways to communicate, connect & engage with their families at a deeper level. It’ll include practical skills like ‘family time’ dinners, where I show them how to prepare a healthy meal and provide them with a family fun pack of stuff they can do to get the family connecting and engaging cross-generationally. 

My Interests

I love experimenting in the kitchen, developing my own twist on recipes. I’ve developed a ‘family heritage’ cookbook and self published a small run of the cookbook to give to my family. It had stories of the family and favourite recipes. It was a great project that both my husband and I worked on. He not only was the ‘taste tester’ he wrote many of the family stories for the cookbook. 

I love photographing people & nature. I’ve even had the privilege of being the photographer for my son’s wedding. It was at my daughter in law’s request because she wanted someone my son could be comfortable with. It was such a wonderful day!

I learnt to draw in my mid 30’s, and love ‘sketch-noting’ meetings. This is a more visual way of note taking than the traditional pen and lined paper technique.  

 

How I Can Help Other Members

When members feel stuck (lacking direction), overwhelmed or have self-doubt, I can provide techniques based on neuroscience to gain confidence, clarity and contentment by having an online coaching conversation. 

I’m also very tech savvy and can figure most tech stuff out. I have advanced knowledge in Microsoft Office365. 

I’ve hosted many big group virtual meetings and workshops on platforms such as Microsoft Teams and Zoom, so I’m your go-to person if you need help in gaining competence in hosting and moderating large online meetings or workshops.

I also design leadership development ‘experiences’ (aka workshops that are interactive) that are engaging and brain-friendly. So if you have a training session, workshop or other event that you need idea’s for, reach out to me. I’ve won many awards on behalf of clients with the design of my leadership development experiences.  

Why I Became a HerBusiness Member

I joined because of the sense of community and to develop deep relationships with other women that I can bounce ideas around with.
