Why I’m a coach

​

For me, few things are more satisfying than supporting someone to achieve the things that matter most to them. I enjoy finding out what makes people tick and helping them see (and use) their own strengths.

​

During my life, career and studies, I’ve picked up a range of strategies and techniques that I can share. I’m at my best (and my happiest) when I’m connecting ideas with people.

My coaching qualifications

​

My coaching is informed by evidence. Specifically: Effective strategies to improve performance and maintain wellbeing. I hold a Masters of Science in Coaching Psychology and the ACC accreditation from the International Coaching Federation. 

My studies have given me the tools to:

​

• Work with clients in a collaborative and respectful way

• Help clients identify their values, goals and strengths 

• Support clients to navigate the process of achieving their goals, by focusing on solutions and strengths.

My specialisms

​

I have a particular interest in supporting clients as they manage change and transition through career stages and life.

In recent years, I’ve published articles on burnout and retirement planning, developed a career transition toolkit, and established an early career mentoring program across six countries. I’ve also developed a framework of mental health support for professional accountants in Australia and New Zealand.
