The way I see it, successful coaching means helping people to understand themselves better, to sort out what’s worrying them or holding them back, to identify ways forward with clarity and confidence and to remove real (or perceived) barriers to progress.

I'm a personal and business coach specialising in supporting change and growth. Based in Auckland, New Zealand I work one-on-one with clients across New Zealand, Australia, and UK. I am also a Trainer for the NeuroLeadership Group. 

My life before becoming a coach was in corporate training.  For 7 years I worked as an Account Manager, Team Leader and Sales Manager organising group and individual development programmes for large corporations. My experience in this field have led me to believe that effective coaching needs to take into account the whole person and their life in context, not just focus on isolated behaviours and environments. 

OTHER THINGS ABOUT ME:
- Coaching and Training are absolute passions of mine
- I live by the sea in Piha, NZ and love to surf
- I love baking and make an amazing chocolate and guinness cake!
- I'm obsessed with learning about the science of the brain

To me, coaching is all about helping you to focus on whats possible in your future by giving you clear strategies, motivation and the commitment to push past all perceived barriers and make a real impact on your life!

As well as being a qualified life, business and career coach, I also specialise in working with elite athletes looking to step up to the 'next' level in performance. 

 In terms of my sporting background, I am a double Olympian in field hockey having competed at the Athens (2004) & Beijing (2008) Olympics as well as the 2002 Commonwealth Games.
My business background is in marketing and sponsorship where I have worked for several years.

This blend of both the business and sporting worlds, has given me a unique perspective in how commitment and passion contribute to achieving exciting and inspiring goals across all areas of life - whether its wanting to become more assertive, looking for a change in life or a promotion at work.
