PERFORMANCE MINDSET
How do you help organisations and individuals?
I help clients:
- Boost individual, team and organisational performance
- Attract and retain clients
- Develop and retain their female staff, promote gender balance and build inclusive workplaces
Everything I do focuses on three key areas: Psychology, People and Peak Performance, and clients engage me in different ways, depending on their needs. Typically, that includes my High-Performance Programs for leaders and managers; my Career Acceleration Program for women; inspirational events for staff or clients, and my high-performance coaching packages. All my work is tailored to my client’s objectives.
AN INTERNATIONAL CAREER
How did you grow a global client base?
When I first moved to the UK in 2006, I worked for a consulting firm in London and gained a huge amount of experience in keynote speaking and coaching with companies like Ernst & Young, HSBC and Bank of America. 18 months later, I took a huge leap of faith and decided to launch my own business as I wanted to develop my own IP, expand my work helping companies with gender balance, and to reach more women through my open courses.
I have always believed in building long-term relationships, and I would say strong relationships and client introductions are key factors in growing a global client base. To succeed in my industry, it helps to have a proven track record, but being able to offer a truly international perspective has become a key differentiator.
