My thoughts and work focus on communication and relationship challenges.  I  am fascinated by the renewal and celebration of self and place. And resilience.

I’m really at heart and by training, a social anthropologist and for decades I’ve looked closely at and considered well what it actually means to live a high quality life. The challenge of course is to put it into practice ourselves … and enjoy it. 

I know that thoughtful inspiration is everywhere and with it comes a particular lightness of being. Have you discovered that too?

It’s heart warming and heart challenging to explore the many ways to improve personal and business relationships. I’m convinced simplicity, dwelling within pragmatic strategies to be used and applied every day, is the key.  To help, I’ve listed a few timeless reminders and messages already under the heading Special Messages for Special Days category on this website. 

The big question: do these focused and optimistic ideas challenge you too much?  It’s for you to decide. I have discovered in my own life little by little they  have led to a life of  engaging, empowering and moving from vulnerability to confidence. 

Some of you know I have worked with leading companies across all sectors of industry in the past, discussing image, colour psychology in our culture, communication management and workplace challenges and change.

I have been very privileged as:

• a former Australian Executive Woman of the Year
• a USA Image Industry Award of Excellence winner
• a past president, National Speakers Association of Aust. (NSW Chapter)
• a DisneyWorld trained customer service workshop leader
• a former presenter of in-flight audio programs
• a city and regional radio broadcaster
• the author of several books on communication and relationships,

Welcome to a lifelong journey without distance.  Thank you for joining me on a path, a  colourful way of life, combining the voice of hope with adventures of heart and mind.
