Evolution Coaching - Life Experience

It was challenging work, but very rewarding. We knew the gold was there, we just had to find it.

My passion is helping people to discover their uniqueness – their own “precious metal”.

I’ve worked in a diverse range of industries and held a number of leadership, managerial, and mentoring roles. I also have wide experience of training and assessment. Becoming a qualified coach was a natural step in my career.

The past is the decaying leaves of yesterdays fall.
The past can nourish the soul of tomorrows garden.
Plough your past and fertilize it into wisdom.
Then reap the dreams you sow.

I gained my Certificate IV in Life Coaching through the Life Coaching Academy (LCA) Queensland.

The LCA is a nationally accredited training organization and was one of the first Australian coaching organizations to gain accreditation from the ICF.

The highest reward for a person’s toil is not what they get for it but what they become by it.

Hair and Beauty Industry, SA.
I became one of the top 5 hairdressers in S.A. before completing my apprenticeship. I went on to become a master of my craft. The Hair and Beauty Industry was where the foundation for my coaching career was established. Not only did I bring out the best in a person’s appearance, I effectively became their counselor, psychologist and life coach. I was a sounding board, provided support, encouragement and a different view.

...life comes to us as a series of messages. If you see the message and respond to it, the message
becomes an opportunity. If you ignore or don’t see the message, the message becomes a problem.
The better you can see and the faster you respond, the more opportunities and fewer problems you will have.
