MY PASSION IS TO HELP INDIVIDUALS AND COMPANIES TO GROW

My focus is to help executives, managers and business owners improve their effectiveness, with specific emphasis on leadership development, business strategy, marketing excellence and career progression.

I create a safe space for exploring new possibilities, new ideas and new learning, which lead to clear goals and action plans. My style is person centred and non directive. I serve as a guide to create self awareness, clarity of perspectives, in the context of self directed independence.
