My goal in Leading Ladies is to help women to be the best they can be by understanding themselves first and then other people.

Whether or not you've reached your goals, I want to make you more effective and enjoy what you do. I'll teach you strategies that you can use to grow yourself and your success beyond anything you expected. There are at least 9 basic different types of people and recognising the characteristics of these types is the first step in understanding how people tick and appreciating, really appreciating, how people are different, how the sexes are different.

What keeps so many people awake at night is other people. People they're in contention with, people they can’t ‘figure’ out, people who are causing problems with other staff members and with whom any sort of negotiation seems futile. Not getting the 'deal' is another aspect, dealing with irate customers yet another. Countless, sleepless hours lost ruminating about what can be done and further countless hours spent trying the same strategies over and over again getting nothing but the same results.

Wherever I've worked, when I've been working with women, no matter how high powered, I've always found the same common denominators. All of us have very similar issues and all of these issues are to do with mindset and belief. The pattern, repeated so often, has helped me to understand so much about the way we tick. The greater our understanding of these issues the better equipped we are, not just to enhance our own lives but also to help other women to find themselves and start climbing the ladder.

For 35 years I have been studying and applying psychology in both the public and private sectors, transforming businesses and the people in them. Individuals, teams and groups of all sizes and shapes.

Anything but a delicate female, I'm a large woman with a lighter approach to serious issues, a 'What you see is what you get' person. I find it easy to be me and I help other women to find and be themselves, it's important to be Authentic, the real deal that people can connect and relate to. The biggest asset you have is you - you just have to believe that.

People say I have an inimitable style. Humour is a gift and a great healer. I'm lucky that it's natural to me, a part of who I am. It helps me to break down barriers and lift my clients enormously. The power of laughter is totally underestimated, it's immeasurable, a fantastic ice-breaker, therapeutic and a great teaching aid. You'll relax, open up, let go of tension and get into a state where we can work together comfortably.

I felt absolutely compelled to develop programmes especially for women, programmes with some fun that you'll really enjoy, you'll remember them and that way they'll go on working for you. The days when we get together will be uplifting, inspirational, a chance to lean as well as learn - A Tonic for the Soul - I've done a lot of work focused on the psychology of selling and that's invaluable, you need to know how to sell yourself if nothing else.

I'm determined to pass this knowledge on to you because I know that together we can make a real difference. The benefits are incredible, there is so much talent around, I see it everywhere, so many capable women who could go much further but who never realise their true potential.

The main differences between men and women are more about the way we work and the way we handle baggage rather than ability. We handle conflict and challenge in different ways to men and when we don't understand these differences it leads to all sorts of problems. Women also tend to have people working with them rather than for them, we're more often inspirational rather than process leaders.

From my early days in the 70's working as a psychiatric nurse and studying psycho somatic states, my eyes were opened to the mind-body connection I have always taken a holistic approach to personal and business development and healing. Until fairly recently it wasn't fashionable to admit to having a heightened awareness, intuitiveness or 6th sense without people getting completely the wrong impression but now that alternate remedies and therapies are becoming almost mainstream it's a relief at last to be able to admit to having it without being thought of as some sort of freak.
