Throughout my corporate career in financial services and HR I loved coaching people. I loved spotting their strengths and enabling them to understand how they wanted to use them.

Often that resulted in people making a change to how they worked, either in their role or moving to something completely different.

I used strengths coaching with my own team, which resulted in increased collaboration, motivation and performance.

And having seen the impact it had for me and for my colleagues, I decided to train as a Strengths Profile coach and make it the basis of my career coaching business.

I've now seen how powerful it is for many people, not just in their career but in their life, too.

Why strengths and career change coaching?

After working with me, my clients say they feel motivated and confident.

They trust in their skills, feel they can accomplish whatever they want and are ready to face new challenges.

They find new confidence, new ways of working and new ways of being - in line with their strengths and what matters to them.

You deserve the opportunity to do work that makes you happy. Life is too short - or too long! - to do something that makes us miserable.

I want everyone to be able to access strengths and career change coaching because I know what a transformational effect it can have on our work and on our lives.

So I keep my prices affordable so that more people can access my strengths and career change coaching.

And if you're not yet ready to invest financially please help yourself to my free resources, all designed to enable you to get started.

Helping people understand and connect with their strengths and values plays a huge part in what I do.

Because when you live and work in line with your strengths and values life is easier and better.

Here are my top strengths and values, and how they'll show up for you when we work together.

My Strengths

I create the conditions for people to grow and develop for themselves.

I love to motivate and inspire people to make things happen.

Our work together is all about you and what's right for you, now.

Because life - and work - is too dull without it!

Enabler

Catalyst

Personalisation

Humour

I'll only deliver what you need or want; and will never promise to deliver something I can't.

No matter who you are or where you are, I'll appreciate and celebrate, your strengths and values.

This is not me telling you what to do.

We'll work in partnership because this is how you'll get the best results for you.

Integrity

Acceptance

Collaboration

My Values

I live in the Highlands and when I'm not working you'll usually find me running, hill-walking or in my garden. I love to be outside and moving!​

I also teach a fitness class every week because it's fun and I love enabling people to improve their fitness and reduce pain.

And last but not least, I LOVE to travel! I've taken three career breaks, totalling several years, to travel overseas. My last trip was to Asia and S America from September 2017 to May 2020 (check out some of my photos below). I love exploring new places and meeting people. I've heard so many fascinating life stories over the years. And even with language differences I can always make connections.
