I am interested in people and have always been interested in what makes us ‘tick’, what makes us think, feel and behave the way we do, wondered about what we have in common, what makes us different and what makes each of us unique. It is what makes each one of us unique that fascinates me.

I’ve always had an informal interest in Psychology, so I did something about it and found out for myself. This has led to many paths and changes in my life until I realised what my purpose was.
If I had had a coach when I was younger the path wouldn’t have been as long and winding, but I got there in the end. And the life, work and academic experience I have gained along the way only serves to help me serve others, all the more.
So my purpose is to enable others to discover their purpose, and fulfil their potential more easily, and so they can live the life that is best for them. In so doing, I am also fulfilling my potential and therefore living the life that is best for me. I delight in helping others in their own personal development and to come alongside them to enable them reach their full potential.

I love to see success, transformation, achievement and change for the better, whether that be in work (career or business), in health and well-being, or in life in general (in dealing with difficult relationships, with finance, with spiritual development or practical everyday aspects of life, such as self-management).

Javelin Success is unique in that the coach considers the person holistically. But, we are not just one part; we are many. If you’ve signed up for my ezines, you will see that we discussed, in the Spring edition that we are not just 1-dimensional (body) or even just 2-dimensional (body and mind). I suggest we are made up of many dimensions and 4 of these are core (body, mind, emotion and soul).
At Javelin Success we address the various ‘parts’ of a person, whichever areas the client wishes to address, so it may be about taking time out “to look after the mind (dealing with stress and not being overwhelmed with pressures of work, life, career and family, or helping with time management), to look after the heart (emotions) exploring emotional intelligence and resilience – bouncing back from disappointment and moving forward, or dealing with the everyday conflict of working and living with others or dealing with anger or grief, or confidence and self-esteem, or to look after the body (eating properly and taking time to exercise) or to take care of spiritual welfare (exploring beliefs and values, and that behaviour is not in conflict with core values and it can be about exploring the bigger deeper questions).

I am a Full Member of the Association for Coaching and a Women in Business (NI) member.
I’ve attended many courses both in my career and in my own personal development, too many to mention here, but some of which include, Stress Management, Time Management, Interviewing Skills, Mental Health and Cultural studies. I am committed to my own personal and professional development, so my training is ongoing.
I’ve spent a long time in the real world of work in various jobs and roles in the Private, Public and Voluntary Sectors and have gained a vast wealth of experience in working with people and projects, at managerial level and in lower-paid roles.
I know and understand what people face in the real world and have dealt with a lot of the issues that people experience, whether they be students, employees, self-employed or business people. I am now also a member of Women in Business, Northern Ireland.
My aim is to empower you, so I don’t judge you in any way. My role is to help you find out your purpose in life, help you set your goals, and to enable you to take the steps you need in order to achieve the life you want.
I value people because I value life, from conception until we take our last breath. No one is too old to benefit from coaching. I’ve always been able to relate to people of all ages being able to empathise with young and old, and people from any background. I’ve been coaching others informally all my life, am friendly and will put you at your ease.
Javelin Success is committed to the following values:
Achievement
Confidentiality
Courtesy
Empowerment
Quality
Respect
It’s not about me placing my views on you. It’s you choosing someone who can help you find what is best for you. Ultimately, you change what you choose to change and you make the decisions, but it is the coach who facilitates that change through the coaching process.
I enable others to acknowledge that they can’t change the past, but they can change their future by taking responsibility for themselves, by identifying and recognising their own strengths and despite the obstacles, enable them to see what they need to do to achieve their dreams.
