I am 77.  I am an entrepreneur, mother, author, artist, consultant, teacher, grandmother, and a good friend. The greatest advantage of living a long, fulfilling and self-directed life is the perspective it gives and the experiences on which I can draw. From all of this I bring deep listening, an ability to ask thought-provoking questions, compassion, and humour.

My continuing passion is to understand and become skilled at living life to the full. I have studied comparative religions, philosophy, and I haven’t stopped asking questions about the meaning of life and how best to live it.  I work with practical and profound frameworks to help you answer these questions in day-to-day life as well as in big challenges.

I have trained pilots, people in prison, leaders, artists, pensioners, managers, entrepreneurs, chaplains, counsellors, university students and Olympic sports coaches. I have always worked and I always will and my deepest joy continues to be working with the humanity of each person.

I’ve gathered qualifications: an MSc in Responsibility and Business Practice, MBA, B.A., Diploma in Journalism, as well as training in self-development and counselling. I am a world expert in the application of the Map of Meaning, developed by Professor Marjolien Lips-Wiersma. She and I co-authored two books on the Map and are co-founders of Map of Meaning International
