About Me

Where it all Started

Training has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember.

At 14 I ran pond dipping courses for the Bedfordshire and Huntingdonshire Naturalist Trust, at 20 I started running beginners courses for my local fencing club and in my early 30 became the vocal coach for a young theatre group.

I started public speaking at 12 when my form teacher asked us all to talk about our hobbies (I got 12 out of 10 for my talk on reptiles and amphibians of the British Isles).

At 8 I started having classical singing training and have performed as a singer and actor in 100s of shows. This has had a huge influence on my style of training delivery and plays a large part in my confidence as a speaker.

Career Change Changes Everything

I was in corporate management for 12 years, but always was the go to manager for induction, training and speaking in any of the companies I worked with.

All this activity ultimately led to a career change when I was 39 to become a full-time trainer and speaker. 15 years later I can’t think of anything I would rather be doing. I know how fortunate I am to do a job that brings me such joy.

Amazing Opportunities with Phenomenal Organisations

Since then, I have been privileged to train and speak for some incredible organisations.

Wenta, the fabulous enterprise agency who took a risk on me and gave me the best 8.5 years of my salaried live.

Upskill Universe, who trusted me with their key clients in Google Digital Garage, Lloyds Bank Academy and the BT Skill for Tomorrow Program.

Media Training, who have put me in front of Estee Lauder, the BBC and the Counter Terrorism Unit to mention a few.

And growth hubs like Exemplas and Deyton Bell. Through them I have had the opportunity to support, train and advise 100s of start-up and small businesses.

And final mention (sounds like an Oscars acceptance speech) local councils, particularly Ambition Broxbourne, who have trusted me to support their fabulous local businesses.

I just goes to show that it's never too late to discover your passion, which makes even the most challenging day a joy.
