My Story

My Professional Journey

 My professional experience spans over 20 years in the financial industry in medium and large organisations.

The beginning

During my first years I held senior business leading roles ranging in administration services, project management, change management and compliance. The standout in these roles was leading by example with my commitment in driving excellence, accountability, and initiative. My key qualities were my passion to share knowledge, educate, motivate, work together and mentor my peers.

When my true calling shined

This led me to seek people focused roles of which I have held in the past 10 plus years. My key achievements were, leading and influencing a positive and inclusive culture by inspiring, creating and pioneering the presence and practice of coaching in the organisation, encouraging a growth mindset in people. I influenced continuous improvement in learning, development, and performance practices, and being an advocate with embedding health and wellbeing program initiatives.

I have contributed thought leadership and worked with leaders to coach them and help to inspire their leadership presence and development, support business strategy, and create best practice frameworks, programs, and tools with the purpose to help bring out the best in people, enhance their performance and increase organisation’s capability. 

What ignited my path

Living my passion to help others, I also became a qualified coach, and my path has ignited ever since. My continual development and solid experience in coaching has signified the powerful difference and reward of coaching self and others. And I love the experience and value that coaching brings! I am also deeply fascinated about human development and believe we all have the potential with 'being' our best. 

And now...

My commitment of lifelong learning and self-development, in the field of coaching, positive psychology, and wellbeing, supports me to be my best which enables me to inspire personal and professional development in others. I thrive when I help others to thrive. Here I am now embarking on my new professional path with ‘Being Your Best Coaching & Consulting’ to continue with living my purpose to help others and make a difference.

I am here to work with you and help and empower you with being your best and make that difference…

My Personal Journey

My journey in life is helping me to be the best I can be …so I can help others be the best they can be…

Health and wellbeing…my other passion

Looking after my physical and mental wellbeing are very important to me. I enjoy healthy eating and keeping physically strong through a variety of activities. I dedicate time to strength and cardio training, walking, bike riding and swimming.

I believe the choices we make and what we do consistently step by step, we can enable ourselves to build supportive wellbeing habits. And…variety and balance are indeed the spice of life!

My walks in nature bring me to the present and allow me appreciate nature’s beauty by engaging all my senses with the surroundings. This helps to clear and rejuvenate my mind and soul and experience feelings of serenity and gratefulness.

A little bit of mindfulness …You’ll also catch me capturing beautiful sunsets, sunrises, and landscapes. My little photography hobby in action.  And of course, moments are savored sipping on my afternoon piccolo late. 

Life is like a bucket list… You can choose what to fill your bucket with

I love to experience new things in life and travel as it encourages me to step outside my comfort zone. These experiences help to open my mind, sparks me with growth, mental strength, and wisdom. It also allows me to truly live in those moments of courage and excitement. 

Grateful for having experienced so far, a sky dive over Wollongong Beach, NSW, a spectacular Sydney Harbour Bridge climb during sunset, a Helicopter Ride over picturesque Sydney Harbour, and a paraglide overseeing breathtaking Kalamata Beach, Greece. Time experienced looking from high above is treasured. It creates a feeling of freedom (like a bird flying in the sky 🙂), tranquillity, and newfound perspective.

Connecting with the community 

Taking part in fund raising awareness events and challenges for good causes is important to me. A real sense of reward and appreciation shines within me knowing that have helped to make a difference in the community. 

To date, have helped to raise funds and taken part in The Green Gecko Project (the purpose for the sky dive), Headspace and helping raise awareness for Mental Health Day, Starlight Super Swim Challenge for the Starlight Children’s Foundation, The Push up Challenge for the Push for Better Foundation supporting mental health awareness and suicide prevention.
