With the gift of encouragement and ability to see the best in people, I help people look good, feel good, and be great.
I do this through helping them discover their strengths and how to leverage them, to increase awareness of who they are and who they want to be – for then to implement strategies to achieve their goals and aspirations.
This results in my clients finding more and better work or new clients; a newfound love for what they do; it increases sales, their confidence, their service offering; and best of all, it helps them self-actualise.
“I HELP PEOPLE LOOK GOOD, FEEL GOOD, AND BE GREAT”
With 20+ years experience in coaching, enablement, program design & delivery for education, business & communication, I help people get what they want & expand their networks by managing their communication.
Executives, Entrepreneurs, Business Networks & Job Hunters world wide hire me to coach and consult them, which in return also increases their professional brand. I tailor communication to employers, employees, customers, & strategic partners. I have written a thesis on Excellence of Communication in SMBs, 2 eBooks on leveraging networks to succeed, an eBook on Personal Branding for Job Hunters, and write weekly blogs and education programs for corporates and business networks.
“YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW. DON’T LET THAT STOP YOU FROM TAKING SMALL STEPS FORWARD.”
From 2009 – 2016, I ran Dream Internship, a global consultancy with 5 staff and 11 international agents where we helped people find work & internships through employability programs. Dream Internship was nominated for Sydney Business Awards earning the most votes in its category Education & Training in 2012.
Through these initiative along with my studies, I have interviewed more than 300 entrepreneurs & 1000 students, researching success in entrepreneurship, organisational behaviour, networking & job hunting. I did this to learn how to fill communication gaps & help people & organisations increase their visibility, credibility & profitability.
From optimising LinkedIn profiles – to educating on behavioural styles – to professional coaching sessions – to consulting projects, I have helped double staff & contractors (40+), delivered innovative programs for education institutions, grow sales teams and customer base, launched GTM projects & found internships /work for more than 3000 ppl.
My written work is featured in SBS Radio, UWS & iStudent Magazines, Nordstrand Blad, Radio Adelaide, Dream Internship blog, & industry magazines. I often speak at Universities, Education Agents, & Chambers of Commerce.
