Light a fire around your heart.

The time has come to wake up.

Stop talking about your dreams in that ‘someday’ kind of way.

Interrupt your stories and give up your reasons.

Banish the excuses you tell yourself about why you’re not living a brilliant life.

The time has come for the tension between you and your dreams to end.

A new beginning is burning, waiting to ignite.

Your dreams will no longer be denied.

My style as a coach isn’t for everyone.

I’m direct because I want to make the most of our time together.

I’m ruthless because I’m committed to interrupting your longheld beliefs.

I’m loving because I want you to have what you want in life more than you’ll ever know.

I laugh and play a lot, so if you’re looking for a serious, conventional kind of coach. . .well, that’s not me. Humour and laughter have a starring role in my work and I like it that way.

I’m not interested in your excuses about why you can’t have what you want in life.

Shit happens, life throws things at you unexpectedly and circumstances get in the way.

My work is about choice.

I believe that choice = power.

I have what it takes to restore you to a resourceful state where choice is natural. I’m a Solution Focused Coach, Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner, facilitator and workshop leader.

But none of that matters as much as this – I’ve been where you are and I understand what it takes because I’ve gone through it myself.

You can transform your life.

I know you can because 15 years ago, I transformed mine.

• I discovered my passion. After years of dabbling, I finally figured out what to be when I grew up.
• I quit my day job. I left a good career with benefits and security (ok, the illusion of security) to follow my dreams.
• I became self employed. When my first stint as an entrepreneur (I was a freelance photographer) didn’t work out, I went back to the drawing board because I knew in my heart that I’d never again have a ‘boss.’
• I never looked back. The roller coaster journey of the self employed is where I thrive. In spite of the wild turns and sometimes scary dips, I’m in it for the longhaul.

“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result.” – Albert Einstein

Some days I’ve been gripped by fear, afraid to make a move, and at the mercy of my lizard brain. Other days high on life, doing work I love – on my terms.

I’ve experienced both sides: the challenge and the gift. I know it takes courage to take the first step.

How do you break that cycle?

After coaching hundreds of clients, I’ve realized it takes something different. A sneak attack on your primitive, survival driven lizard brain; so sneaky and below the radar, that you’ll begin doing, saying, and being new things. . .one conversation, one action at a time.

So, my lovelies, if you’re. . .

• done tolerating
• sick of struggling
• ready for some straight talk
• and know it’s time to SHINE

you’ll probably love working with me.

I know that’s bold, but I stand behind it because I’ve witnessed amazing things with clients. The work I do with people makes that kind of difference.

But it’s not for everyone. Because the thing that doesn’t get said nearly enough is this. . .

Coaching only works if you’re willing to Do. The. Work.

And let me tell you, after 15+ years of personal development there’s no way to get around it.

It IS work.

WORK: physical or mental effort directed towards doing or making something

I think work has gotten a bad rap.

Work can be satisfying, fulfilling, enjoyable.

And that’s what working with me is like.

It IS for you if you’re ready to take a stand and do the work. Your dreams demand it.

I am the spark to your flame.

You’ll discover you’ve had thoughts, ideas, and resources to have what you want in life.

And I’m not just talking about material things here. I’m talking a vibrant, values-rich life.

Are you up for that? I say you are or you wouldn’t still be reading this.

You know what you want, you get the insanity loop and you’re ready for something new.

In return I’ll give you my all:

• 10+ years studying human development, NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) and Solution Focused Coaching
• 10+ years specializing in business building, effectiveness and breakthrough results
• A bottom-line focus + relentless curiousity that helps you shine like never before!

Think of it as an amazing experiment with you as your own subject!

Things you should know before we begin:

• It’s all about YOU

My focus is on you and what you want. I’ve got nothing to prove and I have no agenda. This is completely about you and there may come a time when that’s extremely uncomfortable becuse you’ll learn quickly I’m not interested in your reasons.

They’ll become irrelevant as you focus on what works and your personal definition of success and what it means for you.

• Your own personal laboratory

Our first session will be an exploration, to get you thinking about your life and what you want in a whole new way. Once that’s clear, you’ll get right to work.

In this lab, you’ll experiment, question and create; you’ll probably surprise yourself with unexpected results!

• You’ll learn how to fly

This is NOT a co-dependant process. It IS about teaching you to use and implement the tools in your life, learning to fly on your own. This will produce an environment of confidence, empowerment and growth. I may even push you out of the nest when I think you’re ready to fly, which will probably be sooner than you think!

• What you want is important

I want you to have what you want in life. It’s not altruistic – it’s me following my bliss, a total win/win.

When you forget what your dream is, I’ll remind you and when you have a win, I’ll be there to acknowledge you and celebrate.

I’m in your corner, a champion for your brilliance!

Maybe you’re ready. And maybe you’re feeling a bit cautious, or even skeptical.

Good, I like you already because I’m the biggest skeptic you’ll ever meet. That’s important for you to know because I don’t use anything with my clients unless I’ve tested it, used it, and produced results myself.

So let’s talk. I offer a 30 minute totally free (as in, free) conversation to see if we’re a good fit for each other.

I’ll ask questions about what you’re up to, what the challenge is and together we’ll explore the possibilities.

You’ll leave the call with:

• An understanding of how coaching can benefit you
• A sense of who I am and my style as a coach
• Clarity around what’s been stopping you
• A clear first step!

When you take that first step an odd thing happens. One step leads to another and pretty soon. . .

“Day by day, nothing seems to change, but pretty soon…everything’s different.” – Calvin & Hobbes

Options for working together:

Coaching is a process, an on-going relationship (3 month minimum is suggested).

Consulting is an intense one-off session where I’ll share everything I’ve got with you – 10+ years of experience.

Whichever you choose, I’ll be the spark to your flame!
