I was a qualified careers adviser who one day decided to take my own advice and change my career! Whilst studying to become a Master practitioner of Neuro Linguistic Programming I became interested in personal growth and the power of the mind. I went on to make my own dreams come true, using many of the techniques outlined in my latest book, Follow Your Dream. I am now a successful executive coach and life coach and have my own thriving training and development business - check out my website www.people-developers.com
I have a client list that includes major companies in the private and public sector, as well as private individuals.
I have had four books published, including The Which? Guide to Choosing a Career (1998). As well as editing various government careers publications, I have also written for the BBC Learning Zone and was the Editorial Consultant for Sky's Reach for the Sky magazine. I write articles on an occasional basis for various business publications, the most recent being Fenman's Train the Trainer.
General:
I love reading and don't think there's one room in our house that doesn't have bookshelves full of books! I particularly like self-help and psychology-type books but also enjoy a huge variety of fiction.
I am also a bit of a fitness fanatic, as I believe that health is the most important asset we have.
When the weather is right, I enjoy walking, especially around Dorset where I live with my husband. I also love driving my sports car with the roof down (don't get to do it very often as it seems to rain a lot). My main hobby is sitting around with friends over a good meal with a glass of red wine.
And if I'm not doing that, I can be found at our local cinema enjoying whatever film takes my fancy.
