Independent Distributor, Utility Warehouse Discount Club / Telecomplus PLC
As a professional life coach, I am committed to supporting and empowering people to learn to recognize and overcome limiting beliefs they have about themselves, others and the world in general. I have been coaching for most of my life, and now am taking it on as a full-time career. For me, there is no better high than being part of someone else's growth, seeing them create a deeply satidfying life that is in harmony with their core values and principles. I also provide business coaching in the area of team dynamics, creating greater cohesion and productivity.
Another strength is in writing/editing (English). Language fascinates me, and I have years of experience as a high-end proposal consultant, working with the large IT companies located in and around the Washington, DC area. I have a talent for presenting ideas in a clear, concise manner while also clearly demonstrating the outstanding merits of any given project. I am also highly skilled at taking existing text and re-working it to create more accessible, high impact documents. I am more than happy to work freelance, worldwide, making the utmost use of the internet. If you have need of such services, feel free to contact me via email.
I believe in open networking, as it is a reflection of the fact that everyone and everything is connected anyhow - One system, nature, evironment, human connection, everything. I am fascinated by collective wisdom/intelligence/consciousness. I am a generalist and an integrator of ideas and am passionate about our world - interested in lots of different facets of life and communication.
