About Me
My coaching journey began purely by chance around 20 years ago, as inside my various friendship groups I had always been regarded as the ‘go to’ person for help, dishing out advice and sympathy where required, but more often than not just being a sounding board, for whatever happened to be the problem.
Gradually it became clear that solutions for the issues facing most people, lay within themselves. However, due to either a lack of awareness or confusion over their circumstances, they seemed unable to formulate any kind of plan to move forward. This was particularly evident during the time I spent working in Sales and Marketing, where the motivation and drive, didn’t quite match up to most peoples’ financial ambition and expectations, as with many things in life, it’s easy to visualise the goal or the prize, but the path to attaining it, can sometimes prove to be neither easy or straightforward.
Over time what had started as a ‘let’s meet up for coffee’ or ‘when can I give you a call’ evolved into frequent requests for longer chats involving suggestions and further guidance. While this was flattering, it was also time consuming and came with a certain degree of responsibility. I am not a therapist, but pride myself in having the ability, to see a clear path where others can’t, followed up by the offer of a solution. Which, depending on a person’s circumstances isn’t always a quick fix, especially where frustration or heightened emotions are concerned. Life isn’t always easy, but no matter who you are or whatever the goal, with focus and the right mind set anything and everything is achievable, as we are all, without exception, a work in progress.
There is no set formula for dealing with any given issue or situation, as we are all individuals with different strengths and weaknesses, however no matter what our station in life, I firmly believe that we all share the same fundamental desires; which are to feel secure, happy, loved and accepted. So, if you’re struggling at work or at home and any of the above resonates with you, then please be reassured, as you’ve come to the right place.
