Finish this sentence - I’m a coach because…

I'm a Coach because I always believed that great business is all about ‘people’. So once I discovered my natural flair for leading and inspiring high-performance teams, this prompted me to complete my Masters in Organisational Coaching and combine my 'love-to' for coaching with my ‘can-do’ for business, which then allowed me to explore the best of both worlds.

Tell us a bit about the personal side of you.

On the personal side, I'm a single Mum and role model to two teenage daughters. I believe that great leadership often starts at home and that is why it's important to figure out what you stand for, rules are often meant to be broken – you just have to make sure you break the right ones!
