Coaching

Building skills: attitudes to leadership, growing the team from within, public speaking as a tool for empowering the group and for participants’ own self-development are my priorities.

Communication skills

People and technology are after the same jobs. Our advantage is the way we communicate. From telephone calls, face-to-face meetings, to team talks, promotional boards and set-piece conference speeches, we need to be confident, clear and authentic.

Leadership

Leadership is about attitude, not titles, positions and incomes. It is the challenge wherever we are placed. Leadership and helpfulness go hand in hand. Learn to influence and empower colleagues and you’ll earn more than satisfaction.

Team building

The performing arts offer us great opportunities to see ourselves in a different light: a perspective that develops self-confidence, imagination and helps us to implement ideas. The arts teach us the value of positive failure. They teach us to work for shared objectives. They can teach us skills we all need for life and work.

Presence

Mindfulness is presence. Prayer, meditation, breathing are some of the tools which help us to become aware of the present and our surroundings. They make us receptive, they help us to be “authentic.” Authentic people are present people who can inspire the people they are with. Learning to live in the moment is an invaluable skill for life.

Empathy

Empathy is something machines can’t do. Seeing the world from other people’s points of view makes a good colleague, makes a good leader. Empathy makes things happen.

Stress control

Stress can make life unlivable but it can also be the inspiration we need! Learn to deal with the negatives of stress and turn stress into an invaluable advantage.

My challenge

I well realise the sacrifices participants make to find the time to come to trainings, so they deserve to be rewarded for their efforts. Efficiency at work is the main priority but I always try to give participants skills that will help them to grow in a wider sense. My challenge is to make the courses relevant to businesses as well as bring some personal benefit to the participants.
