Coaching

I deeply believe that each of us can flourish by being the creator of our happiness and success. I bring that belief and conviction to my role as a coach.

Throughout my three decades of working and supporting people living in extreme poverty, and coping with conflict and natural disasters (such as flooding, famine, earthquakes and disease outbreaks), I witnessed the resilience of people. Once effective support was given to overcome huge obstacles, people not only survived but also thrived.

I rarely took time to look within and to understand what was going on for and within me. As a humanitarian, I was always seeking solutions and providing support for other people. I reflected and felt that it was time to slow down from a highly demanding role and take greater self-care. I discovered that when we don’t take the time to hear and heed our inner voice, we go off track until we eventually are forced to listen to our bodies when stress or illness strikes us. Then we are forced to ‘listen’ and to take action that helps us realign with our purpose in life.

A Partnership: Recognising that each person is unique, coaches use a collaborative, thought-provoking process that accelerates the person’s personal and professional growth in a safe and creative environment.

Person-Centred Approach: Builds a trusting, open, non-judgmental, dynamic relationship, and a shared commitment to help people progress and achieve their goals.

Unlocking Inner Solutions: Coaches guide people they work with to discover solutions that are held deep within them through presence, powerful questioning, and deep listening. This enhances self-awareness as the person uncovers the patterns of thought, beliefs and emotions that are holding them back. This supports the person to develop value-driven and intuitive problem-solving.
