Nothing is off the table.
Would you like me to speak, deliver training or support your teams through coaching or conflict resolution?
I offer a powerful combination of performance coaching and conflict resolution services designed to unlock the
full capabilities of your employees, leading to amore productive, engaged, and successful workforce.
Please note all my coaching programmes can be adapted to suit your business or team.
Need someone to guide your team through a process or brainstorming to find the right solution for your organisation? Looking for to help you get ideas and solutions out of your team?
I can help your teams to collaborate, think creatively and without office politics derailing your sessions allowing them to focus on the meeting content, rather than power struggles.
Attitudinal, personality or strengths assessments can go a long way to helping you to understand yourself, your potential and your areas for improvement better.
As a certified practitioner, I offer assessments in the Energy Leadership Index and DISC Personality Profiling.
The Energy Leadership Index will help you to understand the way you view the world, and turns it into something tangible—a metric that you can see and feel and even reevaluate in the future. The ELI gives you insight to help you make real changes to your life by being able to make a plan and adjust your priorities in support of your work and life goals.
DISC Personality Profiling helps you to improve your communication with your team and clients, by helping you to understand how your language and behaviour impacts on those you are dealing with. This allows you to modify your language and behaviour so that others better receive and respond to you.
Whether you are an individual or a company, we will start with an initial strategy session, to determine your end goal. We will then create the right solution tailored for your specific needs, goals and circumstances.
I will ask empowering questions and hold space for you to speak freely and confidentially. I am no push over though, so while I am empathetic and kind, I will also hold you accountable and drive you to achieving your goals.
I am a flexible person and create a programme style that is suited to you and your needs, using my extensive toolkit of tricks, tips and experience.
You are already a successful person, you don't need to be sitting on a coach rehashing your past and getting all stuck in your feelings. You need to take action and get results, the same way you always do, fast and well.
My mission is to help get your life back on track and create the happiest, most fulfilled version of you possible.
Our coaching is tailored to you and your development, it is designed to help you achieve what you deem to be peak performance for you right now.
My clients have addressed new careers, relationships, career progression, business development, marketing, relationships, health and wellbeing, fitness and nutrition, family dynamics, setting boundaries, bouncing back after getting burnt by a "business coach", building confidence, recovering from burnout, getting out of a rut, overcoming grief, recovering from injury and illness, 5 year plans and so much more.
Nothing is off the table, but coaching cannot replace psychotherapy or other medical interventions.

I predominantly conduct coaching on Zoom or by WhatsApp video but I am open to other suggestions.
For businesses, I am happy to attend your premises with prior discussion.
You will select a time in my calendar that is mutually suitable and then we will have an introductory Zoom call. On this call, we will discuss where you are now, where you want to be and the first steps to get you there. We will also discuss whether coaching is right for you and how it all works and then we will either discuss various options suitable for you, or you will go on your merry way if coaching is not right for you at this time.
While I will allocate 60 minutes on my calendar to each session, making it 50 minutes for you takes the pressure of you having to leave an over-running meeting to attend coaching, or having to skip out mind thought at the end of the session because you have a meeting to attend. There's nothing worse than feeling rushed or like you're constantly late for everything. If a different duration would suit you better, please let us know.
Well, you spend an awful lot of time out there in the world supporting your family, your team, your colleagues, your sports team(s), possibly the whole growth of the company, but honestly, who is supporting you?
As a man, you often live by the expectations force upon you by society which leads to you making "safe" choices, the one's you were expected to make and then you end up trapped in the consequences of other people's expectations. This can leave you feeling resentful and unfulfilled, which of course can result in taking it out on your family, friends and colleagues.
So I ask you again, who is supporting you?
I knew you were going to ask that. This simple answer (TL/DR)? Men often find it easier to talk with a woman.
Longer answer: Finding the right coach has nothing to do with gender, rather it is about finding the person that can best relate to your journey, your challenges, your struggles, and your goals.
I listen without judgement, can apply a different perspective, I offer no judgement and I'm definitely not going to take the proverbial out of your struggles like another man might.
I've worked (and steadily climbed the ladder) in very male dominated environments such as Tech, Engineering and Banking and been expected to FIFO, it's the boy's club or the highway. I'm not complaining, I learnt a lot, I even enjoyed it most days, but like many men in this environment I didn't get to be truly, authentically me. I had to live behind that same façade that hides the big dreams and makes you constantly wonder if you are good enough.
I soon came to realise that what I was doing was no longer working for me and I was the only one with the power to change my life positively.
But I did it, I freed myself of the discomfort and frustration that were bubbling under the surface and I learnt what it really meant to truly be myself, leant into it and went after my big goals. Why wouldn’t I want to share that with others, men included? So, yes - I proudly coach men and I love it!
Want to see how it works? Come and have a discovery call with me and let’s talk. Sometimes the boldest step you can take is asking for help.
you to achieve your peak performance.
