Hello ... & welcome to a unique perspective

In the 1980s to early 1990s, I was senior strategic planner in London then head of department at Lintas in Sydney, Australia. There, I structured and trained the strategic planning department. ‘Brand Strategy’ both for people and 'products'— is in my DNA, an integral part of my expertise. It enables me to clearly define the most effective path for my clients to reach their goals and achieve the results they aspire to.

In the mid-1990s, I shifted my career focus to television, where I took on roles as host/presenter, producer, and program creator, including UK network television. I specialize in launching new channels and TV concepts, such as "L!VE TV," Granada TV's 'Wellbeing' Channel, "Dating The Enemy," "Bid-TV," Granada Television’s "SHOP," and several others. This diverse skill set continues to inform and enrich my coaching process, allowing me to offer my own hands-on, experiential knowledge.

In 2004, I earned my first Life Coaching certification from the Scottish School of Life Coaching. In 2007, I co-hosted and co-produced Change The Day You Die, a coaching and wellness TV show that aired in both the UK and USA, as well as having my own private clients. In 2009, I expanded my expertise by completing a certification with the Life Coach Institute in Orange County, CA. In January 2014, I became a certified POP Family Coach (PFC), and beta tested the innovative care program specializing in elder care and family-related issues.

In 2013 I started working with experimental groups and was able to develop the 'Inner Observer' technique to help clients see in real time and therefore understand what dynamic was getting in their way in order to overcome it and reach a more satisfying way of operating both in ones working world and your personal environment. Developing our inner observer can help to rediscover our passions and redefine what fulfilment looks like enabling us to carve out a path towards it. The group dynamic also helps all participants learn from each other, share experiential learning, and build a sense that you are not on your own. 

After years of fatigue and debilitating dizziness in 2016 I was  diagnosed with multiple rare endocrine tumours in my pancreas called insulinomas, the same as Steve Jobs of APPLE fame, and stage 1 cancer. With the rarity of my condition came much misinformation, many unknowns, and an ambiguous prognosis. I learnt to trust myself and only those medical carers who proved themselves, and dismissed many others. I became my own medical advocate and learnt how to SPEAK UP, WALK OUT and move forward with relevant, detailed and appropriate information. Had I not done so I would now be a type 1 diabetic. Good information, the ability to discern and lack of advocacy  has consequences. In 2023 I was diagnosed with cervical cancer in the uterus. This was a straightforward medical process but I had to navigate my own emotionally triggered health landscape "not again!" flooded my thoughts. I survived - I am happy - SURVIVING+

(my health journey is detailed in my blogs soon to be loaded)

My coaching technique draws on many different disciplines and experiential based knowledge with proven success. However one element that seeps into the process is my personal quest to seek the bigger perspective. This is a non-religious perspective and draws from a lifetime of 'seeking' and sometimes finding. 

I have attended Buddhist retreats, gone on my own Vision Quest, taken part in Sweat Lodges and received invocations from great teachers. My greatest influence of all being 'Emahó the wandered' who I worked with from 1991 to 2023

There is nothing you can say or feel, be or do that troubles me, being human is a wonderful, great mess - all we need to do is walk towards our hearts desire - and I can help...

I share not to indulge my sadness, but to let you the reader know "I understand" - each loss is different but tears, or the lack of them, unite us. Sometimes the burden of grief can overwhelm us but there are ways through.  

In 2019 my brother passed from suicide; we carry on to respect our own lives and to honour those who have passed.

I have navigated career shifts, and moves to different countries due to both a 'hearts desire' attraction, career/financial necessity and an unspoken pull. 

I have personal knowledge and strategies of how to point yourself in the right direction and achieve that which might be considered 'undo-able'.
