About Me

Hello fellow Imagineer!

Operation Services and BayWa r.e. UK.

I have a personal style when it comes to delivering what is required, and have learned a lot along the way from a number of professionals in Health, Safety, Environmental and Quality Management - but I also have a creative side that allows me to spread positivity with those I work with.

So I have some business management materials I am happy to share with those willing to learn, and I also offer services to look at an individuals personal needs - as we look to make your lifes journey a happy and successful one!

Take a look at my available courses, and let me know if you would like to sign up for a web call or a face to face session. I look forward to meeting you!

Education

I have BSc (Hons) in Environmental and Management Sciences; supported with NVQ Level 5 Diploma in Occupational Safety and Health; NEBOSH Certificate, ISO 9001 Internal Auditor training, as well as being a Law of Attraction Practitioner.

Experience / Qualifications

I have 20+ years experience in ISO Management system development and maintenance for companies such as SSE, Hewlett Packard, Agilent technologies, Purvis Group, REpower AG, BayWa r.e. and 10 years practicing LOA, including publishing e-book 'The Self Help Book: Making Nothing Soup'.
With 23 years of Health and Safety Management behind me, I am delighted to share my knowledge and understanding with anyone looking to start up in the world of SHEQ management and to support small businesses and start ups with the basics they need!! I recently completed studies for City & Guilds and have managed SHEQ in the UK for SSE, Hewlett Packard, Purvis Group (Construction) and in renewables with Repower AG and BayWa r.e. What do you need to be a good company manager? Be a positive influence and know your own needs! And I hope to help you in your efforts...as a day to day owner or business manager . Happy to have our sessions face to face at home, at your workplace or over a Teams call. I am passionate about supporting everyone to do the right thing when it comes to Safety and Environment so please get in touch and let's see how I can support you. I have a number of materials we can use to get you moving forward with what you need to support you, your organisation or your studies. I look forward to hearing from you!
I learned about cosmic energy and the Law of Attraction around 10 years ago, and have heard and seen the impact that loving what you have, and the power of gratitude can do for your own self worth. In this session I can go over my learnings, and introduce some of the Law of Attraction Practitioner work that is of interest to many students who want to learn more about the LOA! In 2012 i had no money and was sent to work in Ireland for a few days with my work, knowing I had cars booked, hotels booked, meals booked in the hotel, I didnt need cash - but I was nervous about the trip, and when I arrived in Cork, I drove to the site I was meeting other renewable energy professionals. I was first at the conference centre, and noticed there was a small cafe/bar adjacent - so I went over to talk to the cafe worker and was asked if I would like anything- so I said 'Yes, please, a latte would be lovely' and I strolled off while the coffee was made for me. It was only then that I realised ' I have no money'... how could I pay for the coffee... I let my mind drift to a book I had been reading on the plane journey that morning; how affirmations can be as simple as manifesting the smallest thing to come to be; ' I am so happy and grateful that I have been provided with this free coffee'... 'Im so sorry' I said to the cafe worker; ' I haven't any pounds or euros! Just cancel that order.' 'Thats fine' she replied, 'as we have been asked to provide teas and coffees for everyone as part of the conference. Believe to receive! This was my introduction, and that whole journey to Ireland opened my eyes and mind, to the power of LOA. I look forward to sharing with you some background, some stories and some key learnings to practice LOA - from health to relationships, hobbies and work to being financially rewarded - all while introducing you to 'Nothing Soup' the book I wrote to help me to understand how cosmic energy works in our lives.
I have been writing songs now for 30 years, including being asked to write lyrics for local charities and for special occasions. Songwriting theory and musical theory and compositions can often take the fun out of lifting and playing music - whether its a guitar, microphone, drum kit! These 1 hour sessions give the customer an opportunity to explore musical styles, rhythms, while personalising a song for their own use. Every song created will be supplied in an electronic copy, with the lyrics displayed in a certificate explaining the background to the song/ lyrics/ tune etc. Option1 : Tutor and customer discuss the scope of the song - whwether the song is to be personal - about someone, somewhere, a particular event - whether the song is to be uplifting or melancholy, with distortion, or smooth? These personalised songs can be so well received; especially with a copy of a certificate explaining why it was written, when it was written and for whom. Option 2: The Random Song - pick some random words and create a masterpiece; see the story come to life as the song verses merge into a meaningful chorus.... or let the fun begin, and let the children ( small and grown up) have loads of ideas which randomly converge into YOUR song! Can be done in person as part of a 'party' or online over Teams etc. No two sessions are ever the same; and multiple members can dial in if you want them to share in the Songwriting process! Please feel free to ask questions, I have sample certificates available, and would love to hear from you! Every session comes with an e version of the recorded song, and an electronic copy of the certificate, showing the lyrics and details of the songwriter, date created/recorded.
23 years of Health and Safety Management, I am delighted to share my knowledge and understanding with anyone looking to start up in the world of SHEQ management. I recently completed studies for City & Guilds and have managed SHEQ in the UK for SSE, Hewlett Packard, Purvis Group (Construction) and in renewables with Repower AG and BayWa r.e. What do you need to be a good SHEQ manager? Be a positive influence! And I hope to help you in your efforts...whether that be as a Safety Manager looking to go through specific issues, or as Advisor, Junior helping you out getting through Safety, Environmental or Quality qualifications, or with day to day support. Happy to have our sessions face to face at home, work or over a Teams call. I am passionate about supporting everyone to do the right thing when it comes to Safety and Environment so please get in touch and let's see how I can support you. I have a number of materials we can use to get you moving forward with what you need to support you, your organisation or your studies. I look forward to hearing from you!

TRAINING TO EMBODY EFFECTIVE MANAGERIAL COMMUNICATION IN THE PROFESSIONAL FRAMEWORK
➤ Being a good manager is also being a good communicator. After all, a strategy can only be put into practice if you show yourself capable of interacting with your employees, of being a source of inspiration for them and of listening to their concerns. Unfortunately, not all managers naturally excel in this role and their difficulties in asserting themselves as true leaders is often attributable to their difficulties in communicating. ➤ The objective would then be to explore together the areas of improvement in terms of communication know-how. And managing effectively requires specific and advanced know-how. ➤ In fact, managerial communication corresponds to the interactions between the management of the company and the organization and more specifically, between the manager and his team. This executive is in charge of transmitting information and directives from higher hierarchical levels, supporting internal communication, distilling messages related to his own management to obtain the commitment of his team, all while transmitting a message effectively. ➤ This exercise can therefore be tricky: this is why it is important to choose the right mediator in order to be well supported, not only to be understood by those around him, but also to carry out his mission. ➤ What to communicate? When ? Whose ? These questions will find an answer in the consistency of the actions undertaken. Good managerial communication will thus aim to exchange / dialogue effectively with its employees, maintain a close link between the different layers of the company, bring human relations back to the heart of the company, establish a climate of trust and good team cohesion, motivate by inspiring. ➤ In short, each session combines techniques & practice exercises adapted to your everyday situations (filmed with your agreement in order to be reviewed, commented on, decoded together live), so that you can put them into practice immediately, and this from the 1st session. ➤ THE TRAINER: Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has been working for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field of communication , in reputable international public and private establishments, intervening in forums and conferences, and oriented on two axes: training and coaching, with pedagogy and careful methodology as key words. ➤ PLACE, TIMETABLE, PRICES ✓ Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Fribourg-Zurich-Neuchâtel-Lugano-Montreux-Basel-Neuchâtel-Bern-Lucerne-Brussels-Luxembourg-Paris-Lyon.
