I have always been fascinated by people and passionate about learning why we as human beings do what we do, what motivates us, how we connect to each other and the world around us.<\/p>\n

What I love about coaching is that I can help my clients be curious about themselves and the world around them, and at the same time learn from them in the process.<\/p>\n

How did I get here?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I first came across coaching when I was managing a team of IT specialists, me a Baby Boomer, my team a bunch of young technocrats, me finance\/accounting savvy, them very very tech savvy, me deep in organisational culture, them fresh, enthusiastic with less work experience.<\/p>\n

You can Imagine the challenge!\u00a0 In my previous roles as manager, I lead with the strength of my knowledge and seniority, and now I was faced with lack of knowledge and my seniority seemed to be more of a liability than an asset, and it was certainly challenging for my team, how could they be managed by a non-technocrat leader?<\/p>\n

Through coaching I learnt that there is more to leading than knowledge and technical information, and work experience, I learnt to listen, trust and see myself as a contributor rather than the \u201cboss\u201d.\u00a0 Looking back now I see the value of being challenged by the \u201cjob\u201d and how the coaching process contributed to my personal growth and the effectiveness of the team.<\/p>\n

I learned to be more aware about myself and others and I realised that this was just the beginning of my journey to a new way of seeing, being, and doing.\u00a0 I realised I don’t need specific knowledge to support others to achieve outcomes and that was the defining moment for me and I decided that I can bring my life experience and new found skills to support others work through challenges and get results that they want, and that is what I do as a coach.<\/p>\n
