Being IndispensableBusiness Owner
Oct. 2016 - Apr. 2020Sydney, AustraliaI believe in what Seth Godin describes as the power of being a "Linchpin", exhibiting the values, skills and behaviour that makes those around you perceive that they cannot do without you. Having this mindset helps you feel more purposeful and motivates you to "show up" in a way that means you feel good about what you are doing and how you are doing it. I have a growing business delivering training and coaching specifically to office professionals who are often overlooked or under-served by the training that is arranged for them. I tailor my message to the complex needs of these professionals and I have been thrilled to be able to shine a light on their often overlooked contribution to the success of businesses and business leaders. If you are an Executive Assistant, Personal Assistant, Administrative Assistant or Office Professional of a different title I help you tap into what it will take for you to feel more capable, more effective and more valued in your role. In other words, what changes you need to make to thrive not just survive. If you are an employer I can help you develop the POWER skills of your staff. Otherwise (and inaccurately) described as 'soft' skills, they're the ones that enable these employees to feel empowered and enabled as they strive to perform their roles and be valued and perceived as indispensable or a linchpin to their manager and employers. The benefit to you is higher productivity, reducing costs and increasing profitability. I have coached and trained Office Professionals for ASX100 listed companies as well as the Australian Public Sector and am a sought after speaker and conference chairperson.
