My childhood was abusive and dysfunctional. For years I hid, keeping myself small and my voice suppressed.
I lacked confidence on the inside but wore so many masks and pretences that I lost sight of who I was. I was a chronic people pleaser and let others walk all over me.
I ticked all the boxes, worked hard, and was good at what I did. Over a 20 year period, I held increasingly successful senior corporate HR roles in both US (where I lived for 12 years) and UK but felt like a square peg in a round hole.
What is it about the corporate world that makes people afraid to ”speak up” and not be their authentic selves?
I felt I was “playing the game” according to other people’s standards rather than honouring WHO I really was. I felt stifled. I realised I no longer wanted to live my life on repeat. It was time to write a brand new chapter.
I hired a coach and over a few years my life literally changed. Moving back to the UK in 2016 was just the START of me prioritising my own needs over others. I released myself from the clutch of dysfunctional relationships, unleashed my voice and closed doors to anything which no longer served me.
I changed the narrative around the “I’m not good enough” sentence that had kept me safe for so many years and began to feel confident and beautiful in my own skin. I reclaimed my power.
Coaching became my ‘why’ and I courageously shared my story. Pain became my greatest teacher and rather than hold onto it and allow it to drag me backwards, I turned it into a gift through coaching others.
iPEC’s Core Energy Coaching goes beyond traditional coaching to tackle the root cause of your challenges – those unhelpful thinking patterns that prevent you moving forward.
Coaching methodologies that are action oriented (focused on goals, steps, and accountability) can be extremely effective in the short run. Unfortunately, because they only touch the surface, are not sustainable and usually deteriorate over time.
Core Energy coaching starts the process “inside,” finding the root of most challenges and blocks to success, including limiting perspectives about the world, defeating thoughts, and outdated beliefs picked up from family, society, and the media.
My approach empowers my clients to dig deeply, honestly, and objectively into their energy and mental programming in order to assess WHO they are and WHO they want to become.
Coaching will help you know yourself beyond your story by shifting inner blocks and create “choice” in how you think and feel. I will help you create an authentic transformation from the inside out which will permeate all areas of your life.
When we are able to acknowledge that what we are repeatedly doing on a daily basis is responsible for creating a life which no longer serves us, the magic happens. We always have a choice about who we let into our lives, inspite of what our conventional beliefs about family and relationships might tell us otherwise.
As your personal Life Coach, I will partner with you using my unique blend of compassion, humour and a directness and honesty that will help you see how you might be getting in your own way and help you get out of it.
I believe that we each have the capacity to live an extraordinary life. I know you have that in you and I will work with you to bring that out.
I am excited you are here as the moment we become curious about ourselves is the moment we start to take small steps forward to do great things. Awareness is freedom.
A new chapter begins the moment you make a choice to change.
You’re always one decision away from a totally different life.
