psychology

I am a life satisfaction, career and mentor coach based in Ringwood in Hampshire. Following a 22 year career as an insolvency practitioner, dealing with receiverships, liquidations and bankruptcies, I am now a full time coach and love helping busy professionals and small business owners get more from their lives. My passion is helping people find the work they love, as well as creating a life that is balanced, successful and happy.

I'm a professional speaker, bestselling author and consultant in the fields of performance enhancement; the psychology of persuasion and influence; and the development of mental toughness. I am the author of 'Bare Knuckle Selling', 'Bare Knuckle Negotiating', 'Bare Knuckle Customer Service', 'The 7 Thinking Habits of Highly Persuasive People' and 'The Inner Winner'. My mission is to sell you on the most important thing - yourself!

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.
