About Me

Prior to becoming a Life Coach, I had a successful 20 year career in Engineering initially working at companies like Canon and Cochlear, and later running my own consulting business. While I initially found this a tremendously rewarding extension of my childhood hobby, I eventually burned out and lost interest. The creative/emotional side of my brain was crying out for attention and I found I wanted deeper relationships than seemed to be available professionally in the Engineering environment. I stopped caring any more, and work went from being a joy into being a nightmare. I have long been fascinated by personal growth and development, and had 9 years prior experience as a volunteer telephone counsellor with Lifeline. So rather than stay in a job where I was depressed, I decided to change career, become a Life Coach. That way I could help other people to have a great life and pass on what I continued to learn on my own journey.
