"What really matters for success, character, happiness and life long achievements is a definite set of emotional skills – your EQ — not just purely cognitive abilities that are measured by conventional IQ tests.”
Daniel Goleman
I am a trained Coach and member of the International Coach Federation (ICF), and a Mentor on the Coach Training Course at Coaching Development Ltd, London accredited by the ICF.
I have a 20 year practice in yoga and mindfulness, and annually attend 10 day silent meditation retreats to maintain and strengthen this practice. This adds depth as well as a heightened perspective and skill set to the core coaching methodologies. Coach and leadership training, with a holistic approach to overall wellbeing are ongoing pursuits that I continue to build on and invest in.
Underpinning my coaching practice, and core belief is that of independent thinking and the power of Choice. I am particularly interested in the integration of left brain (analytical, rational, cognitive processing, problem solving ) with the right brain (creative, intuitive, instinctive, empathic, vision) to raise emotional intelligence and become a more impactful individual and leader, living a more fruitful and fulfilled life as a result.
As a member of the ICF, I subscribe to their code of professional conduct and have 1:1 supervision, mentor and peer coaching.
