A successful coach, trainer, entrepreneur, speaker and author. I'm passionate about helping people to achieve the levels of success and happiness they aspire to. I also lead annual retreats to South Africa for people who want to reconnect to the important things and people in their lives. A life long student of the art of the possible. A dream catcher and somewhat nomadic. I would love to live in a motor caravan, travel the world and earn my living by speaking, writing books and articles.

My life purpose is to 'share what I know to help others to grow' and I have been doing just this through my writing (books and articles), teaching, keynote speaking and consultancy for about 20 years, I guess. I 'know' about writing, publishing and running a portable business based on what I love to do. You see, I am married to a man who works in the oil industry and we have been overseas (now in our fifth country) since the day after we got married in 1987. Luckily, my passion for writing has become the perfect portable career, or 'career in my suitcase'. I am an expat entrepreneur. All my books have grown out of something I have done for myself - networking, finding my passion, being an entrepreneur and of course, writing.

My clients, friends and readers say I am both inspiring and empowering. That is what I hope to achieve in everything I do.

I now live in The Hague, with Ian and our boys, Sam (16) and Josh (14), a cat (Lily) and about six electric guitars, a drum kit, piano, PA system and a huge poster of the crowd at a Metallica concert on the wall! Like me, the men in my life know what they love to do too!

I believe in coaching as a means to effect powerful change.  This has led me to debate and advocate many aspects of coaching.  I have appeared on BBC Radio Stoke, Merseyside and Manchester for interviews and phone-in coaching, and wrote a regular newspaper coaching column for over three years.

My Executive Coaching practice is just about to enter its 8th year.  In 2006 by combining my learning from coaching leaders in organisations www.thedirectorscoach.com with educational input from Jack Stewart, I co-authored my first book - ‘The Coaching Parent’, www.thecoachingparent.com

This meant the creation of an accessible, readily available approach to help adults provide younger members of society with a means to realise their talents.  Previously workshops had proven time consuming, reaching relatively small numbers.  Now through the Internet, this work is available in many countries including France, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Germany, Japan and the United States of America.  That means a lot to me, as my aim is to make a difference with this work in as many parts of the world as possible.   

I am married to Laura, have two daughters, Nicole and Anne-Marie, and three grandchildren, Marcus, Aiden and Annika.
