Working Human
About
People make progress, and stay sane, when they work with me.
I support people who are working through professional or personal puzzles. Working with me wil give you the tools you need for the problem or situation that you are facing. Usually people reach out to me whe they are feeling stuck on something, or like they've hit a barrier.
My first work-love was people management at development, and I'm coming up on 20 years experience of coaching and management.
During that time, I've been working with individuals and teams to get unstuck and/or make progress on their personal and professional life puzzles.
I take an interdisciplinary appraoch to finding the right answer at the right time. By that, I mean I bring insight from various methods for managing yourself or for processing difficult things, and together we'll lock down the right things - the ones that work - for you.
Being useful.

If there are additional channels for support that I think mght be useful to you then I'll share what those would look like, too (e.g. if I think you might want to consider therapy or training rather than/as well as, I'll share what that looks like and what the process is in your location).
