What’s your main objective in 2013?

To continue my work developing coaching cultures in the NHS which supports continual improvements in care quality and patient safety.

If you want to attract more clients, I recommend...

Talking about the benefits of coaching. The coaching process is a tool to achieve business and personal results. People buy results and benefits, they don’t buy coaching!

My best advice for marketing your coaching business is…

Get out there and put yourself in front of the people who will buy your service. Don’t sit at your computer waiting for people to contact you via your website or other on-line activity. On line activity is only one aspect of marketing activity.

You may be surprised to know that…

I overcame a fear of flying using hypnosis and NLP.

My favourite self-development book is...

There are so many that I love and a recent good read was ‘Persuasion – the art of influencing people’ by James Borg.

The most inspiring speaker I have ever heard is...

Bill Gates If I was alone on a desert island, I would need to have (three luxuries that don’t include family members, pets or friends)...

My favourite place in the world is…

In my garden on a sunny day.

The most unusual thing I have ever done is…

Teach advanced communication skills in Italy, in English, to a group of Italians who had English as a second language. Weird and desperately funny.

My definition of success is...

A balanced life.

The thing I most love about coaching is...

It’s power to change lives!
