About

Why I DO It

I help business owners find their clarity, become more innovative and overcome obstacles.

My first time teaching was at the age of 21 to a senior management team from AIB. I knew immediately it was my thing. I come alive when facilitating, solving complex problems and using my creativity to design solutions. It’s been a rocky road that has thought me the importance of having a growth mindset whilst ensuring you are looking after your own wellbeing. Running a digital agency for 20 years has made me appreciate the challenges of being a business owner and how lonely it can be. Fortunately, I have learned you do not need to do it alone. That’s what I offer. After working in over 40 different industry sectors from Hospitality to Engineering my professional coaching and consulting skills can assist you now on your journey.

Leading Differently

Living my values through action

Empathy

You already have the solution. Let me shine to help you see and understand the knowledge and capacity you already hold.

Charity

I care deeply about our world. I give special attention to projects that can help the environment around us and that can improve the lives of others.

Innovate

Fuelling your creativity through fun and the use of your imagination, your solution will be given the best opportunity to appear.

Mindset

Perspective is a powerful tool to help refocus how we see things and ultimately changes the outcomes offering more positive and desired results.

Courage

Motivating you forward gently and firmly to do what you fear so your fear will disappear. All I can do is offer my hand, you need to take the steps.

Persistence

It is not over when you lose its over when you quit. Therefore you will take one step at a time.
