About Me
My life and what I do
Coaching Empowers individuals to take control of their goals
With 30 years’ experience as a chartered architect and project director leading multi-disciplined design teams for large international practices, I have become fascinated by what makes an effective team player.
My work and acheivements
Working in a traditionally male environment has illuminated some interesting insights into the value of a blended team. It has given me an interest in addressing the gender imbalance prevailing in some industries. For example in the property and construction industry women currently represent only 18% of workforce.
For my contribution in promoting women in the built environment I was awarded:
Women in the City, Woman of Achievement Award (Built Environment category) 2010
CBI/Lloyds TSB, First Woman’s Award (Property & Retail Category) 2006
In 2007 I was recognised by Her Majesty the Queen as one of the Top 200 Women of Influence in Industry and Business
