I am an experienced group facilitator, using my skills to bring out the best in each individual; I also facilitate goal-focussed meetings, where my ability both to focus clearly on the matter in hand and also to see the wider picture, ensures that the desired outcome is reached.
I have published a book on Assertion Skills and am engaged in writing one on Women Ageing Positively.
I am passionate about helping people to develop the confidence to make their unique contribution to the world and live excellently.
I believe that peace in the world begins with peace within.
