Coaching, Training, Facilitation…..

Another ‘same old, same old’ website? But it’s not. Promise!

In 1995, seeking to sort out a significant challenge I was having with my boss and, not having any support within the organisation, I looked outside of work for help and stumbled across NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming).

One of the first things I learnt was ‘reframing’ and, in particular, learning to look at what was funny about my situation. It fundamentally changed my perspective and therefore opened up my options of how to deal with the problem.

Stand Up, Take Action

That learning was so powerful that, not only did it help me stand up for myself and take action to stop what was happening, but it spurred me on to learn more about how I could help myself in other ways. Looking for the funny side of anything, I’m caught up in, always helps me; hence my strapline: “Where intelligence and humour combine”.

Colleagues noticed the change in me and started asking me for help for their challenges and that sowed a seed of an idea, which has become the basis of my work since 2000.

Yeah, yeah, I can hear you thinking: “Blah, blah, get to the point!”

So how has what I do evolved since then? I see my job as helping my clients to achieve what they want – that goes beyond achieving a goal or an objective. My own experience, plus all the clients I’ve worked with, has been that getting what you want isn’t always easy. It’s often necessary to do a bit of mental and emotional decluttering in order to be able to move forward.

That’s where my skills and expertise come into play. Your thoughts and feelings will affect what you aim for and the outcomes you end up with.

Unpack your thinking

I believe in the proverb “Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish, you feed him for life”. What I learnt gave me so much more in addition to sorting out my sleazy boss, that I always want to teach my clients HOW to ‘fish’.

So, in addition to helping my clients to work out their plan for their current goals and objectives, I offer psychological education – helping them to unpack and understand their thinking and behavioural strategies so they can create new ones to serve them for life.

That’s it! Thanks for staying with me! If you want to know more about me and how I work with clients these days, please read on….
