Summary
I am a coach with experience in career transitioning, talent management, life coaching, and helping small business owners achieve short-term and long-term goals. I am passionate about motivating others to obtain their personal and professional success, and to have fun along the way.
The value I bring is:
empathy

creativity and focus
with an individualised approach for organisations & individuals navigating significant change, and helping them to achieve success.
I love helping others to identify their ideal careers, and assist them to reach their goals. Having successfully transitioned through 3 major careers: Research Scientist, Pharmaceutical Industry Professional, Career/Talent Management, I understand the challenges and rewards to pursuing your career goals, and developing and broadening your skill set along the way.
I have extensive career consulting, leadership development and business coaching experience, with a passion to assist organisations and individuals to reach their full potential. I have worked across a variety of industries: Mining/Resources, Government, Manufacturing, Retail, Banking & Finance, IT & Telecommunications, Academics/Teachers, Pharmaceutical & Health, and Sales.
I have a unique combination of commercial & sales, and academic & research experience and have:
Been a strategic business coach for small businesses.
Experienced and coached teams through significant work changes, restructures and redundancies.
Designed and delivered key projects as a member of executive teams.
Championed and facilitated cultural change in large and small organisations.
