Helping you reach your full potential
The desire to help others through career coaching has emerged from my own personal experience.
Throughout my career, I often felt that I was either not in the right role, or the right company, or the right industry… I often used to have that nagging feeling that there was something else out there for me that would suit me better… Ultimately, I wanted to find something that I would really LOVE doing day in day out.
My Story
Like a lot of people, I was longing for a sense of purpose in my life and an ongoing need to feel fulfilled. I therefore know too well the challenges and thought process involved when one feels that “my job’s ok but…it could be better…my career could be better…I want to feel complete”.
With that mindset, I reinvented myself a few times, from my first career in Marketing Research to Aromatherapy to Recruitment and now Coaching… learning different skills and experiences along the way!
During my recruitment career, I helped hundreds of people find their dream job. My favourite part of the job was always the coaching/nurturing side of the role.
