GROWING UP, I WAS RATHER SHY AND RESERVED.
Having spent most of my early working life in HR, I up-skilled and worked privately as a Personal Growth Coach. My clients would quickly develop the mindset to overcome challenges and find working solutions. Frequently, I would be asked to give workshops or speak at events. The thought terrified me and would have my heart racing – I would break out in a cold sweat and physically feel nauseous!
Realising that I needed to overcome this lack of confidence with speaking in public, I embarked on a journey to learn the skillset and mindset of communicating in public. I joined Toastmasters, an international organisation for public speaking and leadership training. In 2016, I achieved the highest award in Toastmasters, of Distinguished Toastmaster. I thoroughly enjoyed working on the leadership team where I trained club leaders. In 2018 I became a certified World Class Speaking Coach. I was very fortunate to have amazing mentors who taught me proven processes and strategies, which I now share with my clients. In 2019, my book ‘Discover your Inner GPS’ was published. This book highlights strategies to enhance your mindset, so as you can achieve success.
