I began my career as a graphic designer, which led me to becoming an independent artist. Currently I work in corporate procurement at Xerox, which includes client relationship management, sourcing, marketing, and technology solutions.
My career experience has provided me with an opportunity to connect with a diverse group of people with different backgrounds, personal experiences and outlook on life.
I have always enjoyed working with people and have a genuine interest in what makes us tick. My interest in coaching and positive psychology initially came from the enjoyment of working on developing myself, both in terms of my mindset and physical health.
I like to keep learning to develop and maintain a healthy mindset, increase my energy, create healthy habits, find motivation to act, recognise and get rid of limiting beliefs.
As I was coaching and working on myself, my interest in learning more about coaching psychology grew. I started the process of becoming certified in this area through completion of relevant qualifications.
The motivating factor was realising I have a strong desire to help others achieve their goals and that I possess essential abilities that empower others to help themselves, including my capacity for empathy, my natural gift for active listening, and my ability to see people's true intentions behind their words.
My training was with Inspire 360, the largest and longest-established coach training body in the country. Inspire 360 coach training is considered the most rigorous, accredited programme available for professional coaching development and is delivered by expert coaches and mentors.
As a corporate/life coach I provide my expertise to help people overcome their challenges around performance issues, career aspirations and changes in their direction of career.
During my journey of becoming a coach, I became a volunteer with the Samaritans because I wanted to continue improving my communication abilities and using my empathy to help others.
Knowing that I can lend a sympathetic ear and frequently a voice of reason in another person's time of need gives me a great deal of satisfaction. Understanding people's motivations and how to help them through trying times is essential to being a good Samaritan.
