“It takes a village to raise a child” and it takes a whole community to grow a business. After years of bruising and challenging career experiences I harnessed the lot by using my coaching and supervision skills and began to empower others to harness their expletives in service of their career passion. This was juicy! […]
When i entered the frustrating fifteen years of my career I had no idea of the benefits. The years filled with what I felt were failures. The years where I quit roles that didn’t quite fit, keeping moving. The years where I felt my confidence being corroded in the corporate world as I sought over […]
Ethical & Professional Careers I have realised that this is exactly what I do. I enable other people to choose their own ethical careers. Not because I manipulate coachee’s into choosing to be ethical but because ethical decisions are a natural consequence of the journey we embark on together Something profound happens when we […]
Facing Ethical Conflict in Business Having taken myself right out of my comfort zone in a business sense last week I have learned stuff. It often takes us humans being out of our depths to really register where what is important. When we are doing something unfamiliar, something new, something ‘out of character’, this is […]

There’s nothing quite like making a mess of something to motivate us into taking action. I may have mentioned that I ‘failed’ at something yesterday… And as my husband has rightly pointed out, I am “not used to being told ‘no’” and I’m not too comfortable with it either! But, the reality is, we will […]
I failed at something today. I don’t much like failing. And to be honest I’m pretty ungraceful when I do. I’m not yet even in that place where I can identify the good bit that came out of it….. but…… As I have failed before, I know that I will live. As I have failed […]
What have I learned today? That in order to feel satisfaction, you need to take risks. That if your dreams stay in your head, remaining unrealised, that if you do not challenge that fear that stops you, then you will never, ever know what could have been. A professional life of few regrets – that’s […]
