Director of ARIVU Centre for Excellence
Hi there! I'm a trained Chartered Accountant and have a strong passion to help individuals and organisations unlock their potential, inspire minds and look at things in a different perspective.
I believe getting people and businesses to innovate, empower and perform to maximise themselves and their purpose in life.
I am a trained NLP Master Practitioner (Neuro Linguistic Programming), which in essence is the study of human excellence and have studied other tools and techniques that can help people elevate themselves to a higher plane. I have a broad experience in practice, the commercial sector, as well as in not-for-profit and government sectors. My previous training and consulting engagements include business improvement and work force development, competency based reorganisations, Executive coaching and providing high quality business training in the areas of authentic leadership, effective management, building dream teams and inspiring creativity and innovation in the workplace for SME’s and top Fortune 500 companies around the World.
I train on using the philosophy of NLP with integrity & ethics within business to maximise people within business and get them to think, behave and communicate powerfully with their stakeholders such as clients/customers, suppliers, other staff, Board of Directors, shareholders, etc.
I have worked with executives, managers and individuals from a variety of organisations including Bosch UK, Reliance Industries Ltd, Ranbaxy and SAIL.
Through my combined knowledge of finance and the factors that can enable people to perform at higher levels, I have turned companies that were on the brink of liquidation in to highly profitable organisations and motivated individuals to achieve a higher level of success.
I use and pass on simple yet highly effective tools and techniques that can help people and organisations reach the levels of excellence that they continually strive for and take themselves to greater competitive heights.
I and my excellent team of associates are trained NLP coaches and accredited by either Ashridge Business School or by the International Coach Federation, which promotes an industry wide Code of Professional Standards that distinguishes high quality coaching professionals. The ICF also developed the first universally accepted accreditation process which will preserve the integrity of coaching through high standards and credentials that assists people in choosing top quality certified coaches.
