ABOUT
Welcome to my website.
I have used my passion for personal development to improve my own knowledge and experiences, which in turn have enabled me to set up Mpowerme to help, motivate and inspire others to live the life they chose.
In the past, working in the public sector has provided me with a great range of work experiences to understand how our jobs and careers can impact on us.
My roles have included being a Lab Technician, Housing Participation Manager, House Support and Childcare Officer (within a domestic violence project), Community Safety Manager and a Drugs and Alcohol Action Team Manager. I have also worked in both the Government and private sectors as a Change Manager, Project Manager and Business Consultant.
In 2005, whilst self-employed I set up Mpowerme to coach people full-time. It was a great and enjoyable experience working with both individual clients and large professional organisations who in turn expressed the value of Mpowerme's services, in a wide and positive range of testimonials.
Due to changes in the economy, I then went back into employment. It was a hard choice to make, but at the time necessary.
Now, with even more experience, Mpowerme is back and here to stay.
I have no doubt at all that my experiences and curiosity about “this life” are great contributors to my studies. Like many others, my life has certainly not always been plain sailing and has had me face some very demanding times, relationships, health and work challenges.
When needed, I too have sought professional support and help, which has helped secure my belief that no one needs to achieve everything alone or in isolation.
