Hi,
Welcome to my site!
Where to start? Well, I’m British, and I have lived in Hong Kong for over 25 years.
My first career was in advertising (and I still love great ads!).
For the past 14 years I’ve worked in HR, in learning and development roles.
I love the work (well, not the admin!). Helping people to learn and grow is a privilege and gives me a great sense of purpose. I’m at my best when I’m facilitating, coaching, and enabling others.
The focus of my work is communication skills: conversations, presentations, giving and receiving feedback, mentoring and coaching.
Many years ago, my mother said to me “we live our lives mostly alone“. I didn’t really understand at the time. Now I can see she was talking about the challenges of truly connecting with those around us. It’s a deep need, but elusive too.
And that deep connection can only really start when we have a good understanding of ourselves. Hence, my growing interest in mental health and wellbeing (particularly in these challenging times!).
