How would I describe myself in a few sentences? Hmm… how about: I’m a well travelled British-Canadian, French-English bilingual. artistic, storytelling sound healer with a successful track record in international business as a senior manager and later a consultant who works with business start-ups, SMEs and arts organisations who need to get their shizzle together and be epic. I excel at strategizing and marketing probably because it requires business acumen and creativity. I’ve over 10 years experience building and delivering courses for MA programmes, professional courses, workshops and online programmes and I’m pretty nifty at it. I’m rather edgy and definitely don’t work well with slackers and you’d better be on top of the financial side of running your business or I’ll be nagging you about that! Cashflow is the lifeblood of your business is my mantra !
I work well in multi-cultural environments, get on well with people of all ages and all backgrounds.
I’m intuitive but this is underpinned by a lengthy, successful international corporate and consulting career and varied life experiences: two redundancies, only child, bullied at school for being smarter than the other kids, various health issues, caregiver to mother…
I’m a strong believer in work-life balance, wellbeing (eating healthily, exercise, setting boundaries, taking care of oneself) and having a life as well as an income.
I’m not really a smarty pants but I do have two Masters degrees, I’m a chartered accountant (CPFA), have a diploma in marketing management and I’m a CELTA-qualified TESOL teacher but …I rarely mention these because I prefer to be judged on what I achieve for you and your business rather than my certificates.
I love running, hiking, cycling, traveling, learning languages (Czech is my latest endeavour), crafting, painting, storytelling, music, theatre, ballet, sound healing… oh dear the list goes on !!
