Information About Deborah - Waterlooville trainer

Personal Description:

With a diverse background in corporate leadership and education, including working with adult learners, I have spent the last decade guiding individuals through significant personal and professional transformations. Having experienced the challenges of relocating a family internationally, running and losing a business, and retraining to teach, I understand first hand the complexities of achieving work-life balance. Despite these challenges, I have stayed focused on my goals—evidenced by my completion of a Masters in English, a PGCE, QTLS, and life-coaching accreditation.

Throughout my career, I’ve helped students overcome exam anxiety and develop effective coping strategies. I’ve also supported professionals in navigating work-life balance and redefining their purpose and goals, much like I have done myself.

Additional Credits: I am the author of five children's books published in South Africa, some of which are in their third edition and have been translated into multiple languages, including Portuguese. Returning to writing is a goal on my vision board! I am known for my patience, kindness, and pragmatic problem-solving skills. Most importantly, I am here to listen when no one else will.

My goal for every client is for them to embrace their potential and thrive!

Training Specialisms:

COACHING NICHE:

I specialise in career coaching and personal development, focusing on empowering clients struggling with work-life balance, career challenges, or finding their voice.

I also support pre and post-menopausal women in redefining their purpose. My approach combines mindfulness and cognitive-behavioural techniques to help clients build self-confidence and autonomy.

One example of how I helped clients regain their power happened recently. This client suffered from work-related anxiety and stress-induced panic attacks. Working collaboratively, we removed all the obstacles that disempowered her, including financial stress. I can confidently say that she is living her best life!

How did I start our conversation? By asking her a straightforward question:
What makes you happy?
So often, when we're stuck, we only focus on the problem until it's all you can see. While in reality, the size of the problem often depends on perspective.

Remember, changing your perspective can be a powerful tool. It's not just about seeing the problem differently; it's about transforming it. Change the perspective, change the situation, and open up a world of new possibilities!

Training Methods:

Let's start with an initial consultation over Skype or Zoom or a simple phone call, where we'll chat about your needs and any potential barriers you're facing. Together, we'll discuss and create a clear plan that aligns with your goals. We'll dive into the process once we're both on the same page. I use various techniques tailored to your unique preferences, such as visualisation exercises to help you picture your future self and build confidence. I'll adapt the approach to suit you, whether you're more visual, kinesthetic, or auditory.

My goal is to help you recognize your true value in a space that’s completely non-judgmental and confidential.
