So far I have been blessed with a life some people only get to dream of. My journey took me into the world of marketing and advertising where I spent 12 years project managing multi-national accounts such as Visa, Lipton, LG, MTN, Siemens and Edgars. I was privileged to work with global Agencies such as TBWA, FCB, Y&R and BBDO. This gifted me the opportunity to see much of the world - 43 countries in fact. It was during those travels, the all-consuming career, a chronic and embarrassing illness, and the exposure to different, colourful cultures and religions, that I started to question and feel that there had to be more to life than merely work and sleep and sickness. I chose to follow my gut as I needed some answers. In the midst of the global recession, I quit my financially rewarding and flourishing career to pursue what some might call a sabbatical. I travelled to some exotically remote destinations, immersed myself into studying, sport and nature, and pushed myself to new limits. Limits that tested my personal and emotional boundaries and it was within those challenges, that I found balance, gratitude and purpose. From then on, I have chosen to dedicate my time to nurturing that balance, and to sharing the tools and learnings I gathered along the way. As of 2012, I have been running my own coaching & consulting practice - teaching the tools and philosophies to individuals, groups and corporates because, more fulfilled and purposeful individuals, produce more fulfilled, productive and purposeful businesses.
