Mastering Emotional Control
Would you say it to a friend?
The core focus of my work as a leadership and life coach is helping people change their behaviour and change their life through self-empowerment and growth. However, without a generous dollop of self-compassion, self-love and self-kindness, people are limited in how they can step into their potential and live a better life, however they define better.
Values at Work
You’ve heard of the inner meanie, that voice inside of yourself that tells you awful, unkind and untrue things, the devil on your shoulder eroding your self-confidence. We all have stories we tell ourselves, but the people who live a values-based life are those who know how to unhook from their stories and make choices about how they respond.

Shift your perspective!
Perspective. The very word itself indicates a view, a direction, and observation. However, like all things emotional intelligence it’s not fixed- we can shift our perspective, which in turn allows us to live aligned to our values rather than in opposition to them. This gives us the ability to live better, across all elements of our lives. Best of all is it’s easier than you think to shift your perspective and reap the benefits.
Are you running on fumes?
It’s not about me…
It’s not about me… As a mantra, never is this more relevant than when you’re parenting teenagers. Our children in general and teenagers in particular have the ability to push buttons we’d forgotten we even had, but when we unhook our stories from theirs’ and when we bring consciousness to the fact that it’s not about us, the quality of our family conversations and dynamics rise exponentially.
Self Care - the power of the micro
One of the biggest misconceptions about self-care- and most infuriating, might I add- is that it sucks up enormous reservoirs of time, energy and cold, hard cash. It’s simply not true! Let’s shift our thinking away from self-care being a self-indulgent waste of time to an essential tool for wellbeing achieved in mere moments.
