Dawn Dreamers

As my regular readers know, I love to get up early and walk or jog. If I can make myself rise and get out an hour earlier than usual then the rewards are great. Last week as I set out at 7.00am, I saw the sun rising and the beauty of the morning was quite overwhelming. How do you begin your day?

Marvellous Morning

It’s morning time, I’m on my own, the air is cool and still

What’s wild and green and overgrown now gathers on the hills

The long stems rise, their leaves reach high, towards the sky in praise

The rising of the sun is nigh, ‘twill guide our path today

There is a world we hardly know that starts the day before us

Where hope and faith and life can grow, where thankfulness implores us

Through trilling sounds and meadow mounds alive with buzzing creatures

This is a place where love abounds and selfishness can’t feature

For fortunate us humans are to savour at free will

Begin the day with gratitude, allow your lungs to fill

As well as being a poet, highly-sensitive being and self-confessed Crazy Cat Lady, I am a Creative Leadership Coach, Trainer and Team Coach with considerable experience in coaching clients in the Creative, Manufacturing, and Pharmaceutical sectors. I specialise in helping individuals and teams to work past limiting beliefs, to think outside-of-the-box and to show up as conscious, inspiring and dynamic leaders. I am passionate about helping leaders to show up authentically and I design and co-lead bespoke Conscious Leadership programmes for FMCG organisations wishing to create opportunities for their employees to shine and truly maximise their potential. In addition, I co-facilitate Happy Teams workshops, helping remote teams to build trust and connect to their strengths, purpose and vision in playful, creative and experiential ways. A co-active coach with PCC accreditation from the ICF, I am also Leadership Circle Profile certified and ORSC trained. I graduated from the CTI Inner Leadership programme in February 2020 and know from firsthand experience what it means to do the deep, inner work needed for personal growth. I hold a BA in French and Drama and a PGCE in Modern Foreign Languages. Throughout my coaching career I have empowered individuals to write books, make life-affirming career changes, overcome anxiety and to take giant leaps towards heightened self-realisation, increased authentic leadership presence and spiritual growth. An ex-lawyer and C-suite executive client recently shared that she had “never experienced anything so powerful” and that she is now able to “trust her truth”. One global client team leader reported being “touched, motivated, encouraged and brimming with energy” and another shared that his team was able to “demonstrate their creativity and really get behind their vision”. My personal and team coaching style is playful, intuitive, somatic and compassionate. My workshop facilitation style is dynamic, inclusive, expressive and authentic and my 20 years experience as an international school educator and team leader have contributed to my ease in leading group facilitation. My superpower is using my incredible intuition and sensitivity to see into people and challenge them in a powerfully courageous way. A prolific poet and podcaster, I live and breathe my own creativity and in turn inspire others to do the same
