Who am I….
Personally, my life has not been moving towards a specific destination but a journey where sometimes it has been easy for me to keep to the itinerary I set and other times I wander off exploring different things. What I have learnt is the importance of self-care. So I try and go on weekly walks to connect with nature. Walking among trees brings tranquillity and peace to my soul, hence all the tree pictures on my website.
As a manager, I draw upon diverse experiences in corporate settings, particularly within professional services, pharmaceuticals and the food industry, where I worked closely with leadership teams operationally and strategically, in both international and local companies, as a Human Resources Manager.
As a researcher, I have studied second language acquisition and developing critical thinking skills in learners in less-resourced schools. I have presented on research ethics and written a chapter for a book.
Academically, I bring a multidisciplinary perspective that integrates insights from psychology, change theory, human resources, and education. I am a certified practitioner in personality, aptitude and strengths assessments and I have also completed specialized training in narrative career coaching and organisational career guidance. For my doctorate, I designed a framework for intervention implementation that considers individual and collective behaviour change that is sustainable in diverse contexts.
As a coach and consultant, I bring all of the above but more importantly, I bring curiosity, attentive listening, challenging perspectives, and collaborative partnership which will help guide clients through periods of change towards purposeful choices.
