So you wanna know about me, huh? Well...
My
professional background includes being a Certified Coach and NLP
Trainer (International NLP Trainers Association), a BACP Accredited and
UKCP Registered Psychotherapist with an MA in the field. I'm also a
founding member of the Association for Coaching, a Trainer Member of
the Association for Neuro-Linguistic Programming International (ANLP)
and a Public Speaker belonging to the Professional Speakers'
Association.
In a previous corporate life my career was in marketing and sales... and that's more moons ago than I care to remember!
I’ve relished working with thousands of women in over 20 years’ successful years running my coaching, training and therapy organisation. And when I say women, I mean from all walks of life, all kinds of cultures, all kinds of educational backgrounds, racial heritages and life experiences.
What impresses me so much, time and time again, is that whatever challenges
or
problems women face and work on, once we begin to access and use our
female energy, our Womanhood, something special happens.
It’s as if a crucial piece of a very significant jigsaw fits in. And I’m red hot bloodedly passionate about helping women to reclaim that crucial piece of our significant jigsaw, our WomanWisdom(tm).. our birth-right and heritage as females.
I also recognise how much more complex and demanding women’s lives have become compared with even just 50 years’ ago. More women than ever work both inside and outside the home, juggling at least two jobs in the same 24 hours. And I’m one of them!
So, since the early 90s, I’ve been applying my wealth of knowledge and experience to guide and coach and train women in developing their own Woman resources. I've been applying some of the foremost ideas and techniques in the personal and professional development fields. And then building on them to generate fresh and highly effective approaches specifically for women.
Women of Courage was born!
Plus I’ve been accomplishing my own Women of Courage growth programme and developing my own WomanWisdom(tm) for 30 years so far... only it didn’t have a name when I started out!
Everything but everything I talk about is tried and tested. I’m like a travel guide who’ll tell you the short-cuts and how to avoid pitfalls. A guide who can show you how to find the shallowest river crossing and the firmest, most solid foot-holes with which to climb the mountain. And a guide who is most definitely, absolutely and without a shadow of a doubt 100% Woman!
