Who I Am
I am a coach, mentor, project manager and workshop facilitator, helping you
to find your own insights and way forward or working on a more practical level to support you in taking a project idea forward. I can offer a positive
attitude, integrity, creativity, enthusiasm and commitment to your success.
I am passionate about creating an atmosphere where as
a creative person, you have the freedom to fly off at tangents and have 20
ideas before breakfast which can then be translated into realistic
projects.
Examples of my work include:
- co-founding a development education centre
- project managing the establishment of businesses
- creating, implementing and managing administrative
programmes
- creating, implementing and managing successful client
based marketing strategies
- raising £2.5 million for charity
I have worked across the arts, charity and retail sectors, including:
The Oxford Concert Party; Chester Gateway Theatre; Chester Literature Festival; English National Opera; Cameron Mackintosh; Society of West End Theatre; Studio Voltaire
Aston-Mansfield; Cheshire Development Education Centre; Leukaemia Research Fund, Chester Branch; The Hunger Project
BookSolve Computer Systems; House of Colour; Maréchal; Printronic International
I was a mentor at the Women of the World conference at the South Bank 2011 and will be taking part again in 2012.
