About me
I am a member of the Creativity Coaching Association, an international coaching organisation. I live on the coast in Sussex where I continue my love affair with the sea.
My philosophy – I start from the position that everyone has something to offer, that they can contribute. They need to feel valued, with their abilities recognised and nurtured, by themselves as well as by others. That people need to know that something that is special about them. I would like us as individuals and as a society to start by valuing and respecting people and our environment and by behaving responsibly and with integrity towards both of those.
