Values as a Coach and Facilitator

As a Coach my core values are focused on creating an emergent environment for growth. Respect, empathy and integrity are key to successfully creating this environment. I approach coaching with openness, positivity and with a growth mindset. What motivates me is helping individuals and teams grow and seeing them achieve their full potential. The seeds of this focus were sown in my time in the Royal Navy.

In my spare time I enjoy the outdoors either climbing, walking or being in the sea with family and friends.
