Sometimes I’m a coach, sometimes a mentor, sometimes an advisor and consultant; but always with the objective of guiding you towards your desired outcomes. My style is enquiring and pragmatic. People I work with typically go from feeling stuck to finding clarity of direction and a renewed sense of confidence. Typical areas of professional development I am regularly asked to help with are:

Career planning – a clear vision of where you are heading, both during and after and active dancing career, will ensure better results and more fulfilment in all areas of work throughout your working life. I help my clients explore what they want and discover what they need to do to get there.

Career development – limiting beliefs and lack of confidence often stifle progress. A positive mindset is essential. I help my people develop strong principles and assertiveness to handle high-pressure environments together with leadership skills, because ability to lead oneself and others lay at the core of all career progression.

Career transitions – throughout an active career a dance professional will encounter transitions and personal change when conflicting priorities and feelings can be challenging. By providing my clients with opportunities to have constructive conversations, knowing they won’t be judged, they find clear directions and a renewed sense of purpose.

In addition, challenges I often assist with include:

• Problem solving and decision making
• Bringing new perspectives to narrow thinking
• Professional evaluations and assessments
• Confidence, assertiveness and self esteem
• Communication with management, colleagues and direct reports
• Identifying strengths, enhancing learning and skills development
• Helping clients handle difficult conversations
• Finding purpose, meaning and fulfilment
• Upgrading leadership skills
• Overcoming procrastination
• Strengthening resilience and motivation during demanding times
• Coping in a high-performance environment
