I aim to inspire you to recognize more opportunities, and to see less barriers. I believe that you hold your answers, and the key to finding your own sense of flourishing and fulfillment. My writing aims to inspire you to re-discover your strengths, and to use them more in your personal and professional life. I aim to motivate you to set exciting goals, and to identify the behaviors and habits needed to achieve them. Background: Over the last 28 years I have worked in sales, marketing, customer service, management and leadership roles. I run a Promotional Gifting business, and have thrived in the creative, collaborative and customer-focused environment of my industry. I believe in positivity, productivity and engagement as key drivers for work and life contentment. Running my own 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 in Literature 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!
