Background:
Over the last 26 years I have worked in the same Company in sales, marketing, customer service, management and leadership roles. I have thrived in the creative, collaborative and customer-focused environment of the Marketing industry. I believe in positivity, productivity and engagement as key drivers for work and life contentment. So many years in the same business has given me the freedom to experiment with different performance and productivity techniques, with valuable lessons learned along the way. Outside of work, I love the energy of regular exercise, the challenge of writing fiction and non-fiction, the relaxation of reading and music, the escapism of being in nature, and the comfort of spending quality time with friends and family.
Qualifications:
A Bachelor of Commerce in Marketing from the University of South Africa, a Post Graduate Diploma in Brand Management from The Triple A School of Advertising, a Certificate in Executive Coaching from the University of Cape Town, a five part course in Positive Psychology through Coursera, and currently completing a Bachelor of Arts Honours in Literature and Creative Writing through the Open University in the UK. I’m also continually reading and learning in my areas of interest - see my Book Summaries section for some shared insights!
My Personal Values:
Mindfulness; Wellness; Care; Creativity; Purpose and Gratitude.
