About Me
Why I do what I do
Coaching Empowers individuals to identify and take control of their goals
I am passionate about enabling everyone, at every stage in their career to excel. I support, encourage, and challenge my clients to explore their opportunities, recognise their abilities and achieve 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 a high performing team and 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
