Thanks for dropping, it’s such a pleasure to have you here. On this page I talk about what drives me, my

My professional background
In the last 20 years or so, I have worked as a consultant, change agent and senior manager in the areas of: human resources, organisational development, change management and organisational improvement. This has meant that mostly I have worked in, or with, large organisations supporting change and transformation. This focus has meant that, over time, I have facilitated many different development programs and coached dozens of individuals: to develop their leadership capacity, to navigate through periods of change and transition, to manage conflict, to hone their relationship skills and help them to manage difficult relationships.
My work and passion, is fuelled by my belief in the human spirit, and our potential to be innovative, creative, wise, resourceful and compassionate. And my desire to support and foster this potential in the world.
I believe that for each of us to tap into these capacities and embrace our potential requires us to embrace our humanness, our need for connection and our innate drive towards wholeness. To embrace all of these dimensions of ourselves requires us to focus on both the outer and the inner aspects of what it is to be human, and this in turn is an absolute prerequisite for us to live lives that are full, satisfying and richly rewarding.
Yet, in my corporate work. time and time again, I see people come to me, in workshops and coaching sessions, drained of energy, exhausted from the endless striving, and feeling disconnected, discouraged and dissatisfied. They have lost their zest. Often the focus in these settings lean towards a focus on external factors of performance with little attention being paid to the internal factors that drive as a human beings.
I have found that the secret to success is taking both these aspects of our lives into account so that we are working with the whole of our being, and this is about supporting the whole person. Lotus Space coaching is devoted to supporting you, the whole person - the inner and out dimensions of your being, to live an unapologetic life of passion and where your individual uniqueness can shine through.
