I am a professional coach, author, lecturer and speaker in the areas of work/life balance, stress management and golf psychology. I have a wealth of knowledge and communication skills acquired through teaching Physical Education, Health and Personal Development to adults and children across the full range of public and private sectors. I hold a Masters Degree in Education majoring in Exercise Physiology and have completed a Professional Development Certificate in Coaching at the University of Sydney. I am a member of the University's Coaching and Mentoring Association and am a Master Certified Coach with the internationally recognised and highly respected International Coaching Federation of which I am also on the Coaching Excellence Committee and was named the 2009 ICF NSW Coach of the Year. My particular area of interest is assisting individuals to reach their full potential; whether it is through golf psychology, leadership development, communication effectiveness, increasing emotional intelligence, stress management, personality awareness - understanding why you do what you do.I have a long association with sport; I previously taught physical education at several major high schools over 15 years and lectured at university in the area of Human Movement and Sports Science where I have been involved for the past 25 years. I currently lecture and teach Applied Coaching at the Australian College of Applied Professions. I have coached many teams and individuals in a range of sporting disciplines to personal best performances including grand final wins. I took up golf as an interest in 1998 and became the 2005 Ladies Club Champion at my local golf club, placed 5th in the 2006 NSW Champion of Champions Nett Event, and in the top 20 of the 2007 NSW Golf Medal Play Off Event. I won the Ladies Club Championship again in 2013 after a long hiatus due to work commitments. I won the 2020 Singles Knockout and the 2021 Fourball Knockout. I can also very proudly say I have had 5 holes in one! I found that by applying the coaching psychology I was using with my executive and life coaching clients in the golfing arena, I was able to not only bring my own handicap down but could pass the benefit of my knowledge and its application onto those who play with [...] applying the long-proven coaching methods I use with my business and private clients to the psyche of golf and golfers, I have been able to calm the "golf gremlin within" of my golf mind coaching clients and assisted them in dropping their handicap and enjoying their golf more than ever. This can be achieved either in a group or one on one situation with remarkable success. I speak at Golf Clubs to support their members in overcoming simple mind habits that get in the way of them playing their best golf. Using my interactive and engaging speaking style I am able to bring new information to golfers in an easy to understand, enjoyable and memorable way.I gain a great deal of satisfaction as I see improvements in both handicaps and the player's level of enjoyment. I am inspired by the people that I coach and love to hear it when they in turn say they are inspired by me.
