I am a certified life coach and EQ practitioner with 25 years+ governance and leadership experience. I can help you define and navigate your own unique path to success.

Every individual is different with a personal set of challenges and aspirations. Coaching is a deeply personal process that requires honesty, trust and transparency on both sides. I work closely with my clients and care deeply about achieving the outcomes and results they desire. A key focus in my coaching technique is on developing emotional intelligence attributes, as these are one of the most important factors in achieving balance, contentment and success in all areas of life. 

Coaching is the best investment you can make because it is an investment in yourself. The benefits to clients far outweigh the original cost. In the workplace, they can include:  

• Stronger self-awareness and self-control, allowing for more productive responses to adverse events. You cannot always control what happens, but you can always control your responses
• greater resilience, stress tolerance and problem solving skills during difficult periods 
• Improved relationships with stakeholders and clients
• Improved adaptability, motivation and agility in the face of change 
• Improved social awareness skills such as empathy and organizational awareness 
• better communication, active listening and presentation skills 
• conflict resolution and negotiation strategies
• leadership skills, including influencing, building a team, coaching and mentoring.

Clients can learn other skills that can be utilized inside or outside the workplace: 

• Work/life balance strategies 
• Developing a growth and learning mindset 
• Handling personal and professional rejection and exercising positive self-talk and self-care
• Developing a positive outlook and building optimism and contentment because happiness truly is a state of mind.

If any of this appeals to you, please get in touch. It’s never too late to make positive and sustainable changes to your life.

As a skilled and experienced presenter and speaker, I work with the organization to deliver exactly what they need. I collaborate with you to identify current challenges and how EQ can be used to develop the potential of their teams. This is done through a combination of group coaching, interactive Q&A sessions, facilitated programs and exercises/strategies that team members can work on collectively or individually. This is done over a sustained period of time to promote real and lasting change. 

The benefits to the organization are numerous and include tangible and intangible benefits:

• More engaged and committed teams, which encourages creativity and innovation 
• Improved teamwork, collaboration and morale
• Developing the capabilities of aspiring leaders in the organization
• Employees who live and breathe the mission, vision and values of the organization because they enjoy a greater sense of purpose
• Improved relationships with peers, stakeholders and clients, thereby increasing sales and reducing complaints and internal conflicts
• Higher quality products and customer service due to less errors, and significant cost reductions
• Reduced staff turnover, reduced absences, reduced internal fraud and reduced disciplinary and grievance incidents
• A happier, motivated and agile workforce that support the leadership and view the organization as a quality place to work. 

If any of this aligns with the vision of the type of emotionally intelligent organization you wish to create, please contact me. Building positive cultural change in this way takes time and sustained effort, and setting the tone from the top. I will support you for as long as it takes. 

I love speaking and am passionate about delivering a message. You tell me what you need, and I will design a bespoke course/presentation for your team/audience that will build their knowledge and skills to set them up for success. My aim is to inform, stimulate and create awareness. I adopt an energetic, conversational and humorous style and like to involve the audience. I have given numerous presentations, including:

• Leadership and EQ in the Modern Workplace 
• EQ (What, Why, When and How?)
• Leveraging EQ in the Canadian Workplace 
• Smashing the Anger Cycle 
• From Stress to Success – Changing Your Mindset around Stress
• The Secret to Building Your Resilience 
• Building your EQ Muscles 
• Emotionally Intelligent Parenting for Teens
• Corporate Governance and Risk Management 

If you would like to invest in developing the skills and knowledge of your team through a one-off, series or course of skills based presentations, please get in touch. I do not deliver templates; they are uniquely designed and delivered for your purpose and your audience.
