“Our mothers and fathers felt they had to separate who
they were from what they did.
Its no longer where you work that matters – but what you do
and WHO YOU ARE”.
Stedman Graham

In 2002 I redefined and redesigned my life.
Although loving and believing in my job in Social Work I had grown weary of the limits and structures of the various community institutions I had worked in.
I realised the parts I enjoyed the most were creating change in programmes and delivery, and growing workers to be their best and of course, seeing changes in the lives of the people the services existed to support.

So how to do this on my own terms and in a way that enabled me to honour my personal priorities…

COACHING!

I trained with Coach University (by ‘virtual classes’ from Australia) 2001 – 2003.

My previous careers have been in Social Work and Social Work Management, and Teaching.
As well as Coaching I currently teach Parenting, run Women’s Spirituality groups and groups for Youth, and offer Supervision and Workplace support to those in various types of ‘People work’.
I have 2 lovely grown children, Tamara and Ashley, and a somewhat unpredictable ginger cat – Botticelli.

I love to support into being, those ideas of yours that truly inspire; ideas that other people, and sometimes even you, say are crazy/far-fetched/impossible!

‘The Sweet Life’

DREAM IT!
PLAN IT!
LIVE IT!

“The choices you make, weave the fabric of your life”.

What’s the ‘SWEET LIFE” for you?

Is it having time for both work and play you love?
Is it having quality personal time and relationship/family time as well as a career?
Is it loving what you do for a living so much it feels like pleasure, not work?
Is it feeling competent in all areas of your life?
Is it feeling prepared and supported ‘to go out on a limb’?
Is it enjoying and adding value to your
relationships with your significant other, your
children, your workplace and your community?
Is it something you haven’t quite defined yet…?

What would happen if you had support to work out your own version of ‘the SWEET LIFE’ … and the support to work out how to make it a reality????

I’m also passionate about assisting parents in building their skills and confidence, so that parenting is a pleasure.

Best Parenting…
Giving your children the best love, support and guidance to become healthy and happy adults...

We all intend to be the best parent for our children – and sometimes that’s easy and sometimes that’s hard!
