a few words about me
My career in marketing and medical education, started with Ciba-Geigy pharmaceuticals in 1977, following my Bachelor of Science degree in Physiology – the science of how the body works. I had changed from marine biology to physiology because I was fascinated with the myriad of processes that take place all the time to keep us functioning well and healing without us noticing, until we become unwell that is.
After ten years in pharmaceuticals, I went back to college. During 1986-88 I studied for my MBA at London Business School to learn more about how business works. I toyed with the idea of working in the finance field but I found the area of organisation and management development to be more interesting and challenging. There were lots of other processes and systems to become intrigued with. From organisations I became more interested in individuals.
I started coaching by offering fellow business school alumni a new way of looking at their careers and roles in the workplace. Then later as a career coach with KPMG Consulting in London, I worked one on one with clients and also created and ran seminars. Ten years later in 2000 I trained as a Life Coach with the UK Coaching Academy and as a business coach with Results Coaching, Australia. I developed coaching programs and a workshop series called Me and My Best .. (… self; … career; … relationships; … life) which I ran at business schools for their alumni/ae.
During those years I became increasingly interested in looking at different models for how we think, perceive the world around us, derive meaning and make decisions, and how we interact with others. In the 1990s I had gained Practitioner certifications in the fields of Imagework, NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) and ACTAL (Applied Creativity Teaching and Learning).
In 1999 I started the Master of Divinity program at Harvard to take a more spiritual look at life and the human condition. I chose the M.Div program because I wanted to influence business leaders to consider the spiritual dimensions of their work and their impact on others and the environment. When I worked as a learning coach with Leadership in International Management in 2006, I found that I valued their models for working with leaders and teams because they gave people tools to manage and appreciate their differences and for leaders to be more authentic.
For all the years I enjoyed helping people through their mental blocks and belief systems, so that they could more fully embrace their potential, I knew also that some patterns were very hard to change. I found the work of Resonance Repatterning to be a meaningful addition to my work. Thinking about ourselves as energy beings resonating with different frequencies may sound too far out to some business people, but once you have experienced this work, it can open your eyes to a whole new world. Read the testimonials to hear more :).
Nowadays, as I enter the last chapter of my life, I still enjoy helping people find out who they really are, their purpose and how to live their lives being true to themselves. I like helping groups take a fresh look at their fellow team members, to appreciate differences and see how each person has an important role. Embracing diversity and differences are key to respecting and valuing each other. Its wonderful to see people working well together and loving it.
