Coaching philosophy
“Looking back I see how the support I received early on in my career really helped me succeed; the never-ending encouragement and faith that I could do things I never thought possible were paramount to my personal development. This feedback ensured my success and positively kick started what has now been over two decades of life-long learning. At this very simple level, I work to replicate these principles in all my leadership and coaching work, passing on the great lessons I have learnt.”
