Coaching
Nobody ever wakes up and decides they want coaching, what they want is change and that comes from some 'pain', be it that your life is at a cross roads or your business/people needs a performance boost.
There will be times that you want either business or life coaching or even a mixture of both, this is your decision. Often things that you decide in business impact on your life and vice versa, nothing is in isolation and its important to understand what your immediate needs are and prioritise them, one step at a time.

Having sat on several senior management teams and coached a variety of leaders from many disciplines, and mentored many business owners, sales and marketing people about its matching people and getting the right coach/mentor for your business.
Like many people my life has come with its challenges, redundancy and relationship break downs, choosing new career directions, fitting in studying with work to name a few. Using my skills and support from my own coach I am happy to tell you that I have a great life with my partner, dog and 4 chickens.
Background
I started her sales and marketing career in the 80's (I know I don't look that old) as as an account manager for a software company, from there I havehad roles in product management, new business development, sales and marketing management. Today I still works hands on in a variety of companies. Because of this I understands each role and the pressures there are to hit targets, maximise your time and fulfil reporting needs at all levels.
I started to write in a journal many years ago, which led to a series of short stories, a blog and a vision board book which all naturally led onto courses writing for change. I find the whole writing process as a release for my creativity, exploring frustrations, emotions and thoughts. It has been liberating and cathartic.
In addition I have my own coach, which I firmly believe is a requirment for all coaches.
