What Does Success Mean to You?

Most of us know what we want out of life, but only a few of us know how to get it. Some of us spend a lifetime hoping and wishing for success, whilst some stumble across it early in life and others never find it. Perhaps you’re trying really hard to become successful in your endeavours but find yourself going around in circles, stuck in a cycle of failure, or perhaps you find yourself being indecisive, avoiding important tasks, blaming your past, lost somewhere between the desire for, and the realisation of, your dream life.

I understand, I’ve been there myself. There are lots of things that happen to us which simply get in the way of our goals, or, our responsibilities are so important that we can’t move in the direction of our desired life. But more often than not, the biggest barrier to success is ‘us’ – our attitude, our approach and our mindset.

Your Coach and Trainer

Despite the French surname, I was born in Kent, England. For more than thirty years I have conducted my life as if it were a personal development experiment, which has consequently provided me with the opportunity to travel the planet, talk to audiences around the world, work in television for more than a decade, find my soul mate, have four magnificent children and create a fervent and colourful lifestyle.

But it hasn’t always been that way, I certainly wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth. I have endured my fair share of dark days, dramatic failures, financial insolvency and occasions when I considered ending it all. However, it’s these painful junctures that fuelled my curiosity and compulsion to understand what life is all about, and why is it, only a handful of people are apparently able to enjoy complete success and fulfilment in their lives, whilst most of us ricochet from one compromise to another in an effort to find some comfort and at best, moments of happiness.

The Road to Coaching

Since childhood I’ve wanted to know what life is all about? Why are we here? What does being human mean? I’ve been intrigued by the premise of religion, spirit and God. I studied philosophy and psychology whilst making personal development and self-education, a way of life. Being interested in the human condition and wanting to connect with people on a much deeper level has been something that’s prevailed throughout my life. For many years, I simply considered these interests to be passions, subject matters that I loved discussing and the ultimate tools for achieving personal success.

However, in 2005, after changing my life dramatically again, it was clear that the decades of studying and mentoring with some of the leading personal development Coaches on the planet and verifying their ideas, techniques and methods by actually living them, had paid off. When Jack Canfield encouraged me to create a mission statement for myself, I resolved to review my life and investigate it in detail. For the first time, I recognised that my life purpose may be helping others to embrace self-awareness and understand the power of their own thoughts. Here’s the mission statement I crafted and live by today “My life’s purpose is to use my innate creativity and enthusiasm to inspire and empower others to re-discover themselves and embrace self-awareness, whilst helping everyone to flourish in all aspects of their life.”

I was compelled to share my lifelong learnings and began systemising the very best of the processes and strategies I’d learned by creating a step-by-step programme for success and fulfilment, whilst pursuing formal instruction as a Coach and Trainer. Today, if you are ready for change and wish to make improvements in one, or several areas, of your life, connect with me and request your free 15-minute Life Strategy call.

A large proportion of my business comes from referrals. If you know of a group, society, organisation or company that would enjoy, and benefit from a 60-minute keynote presentation, simply let me know by connecting.
