Are you a dog or a cat person? Dog - always!

If you could have a super-power, what would it be and why? Click my fingers and be anyone in the world helping others to acknowledge that they have everything within them already to be their awesome resilience self, nothing is fixed or broken

What do you consider to be your genius? Or what do other people say you are amazing at? Inspiring others to own who they are

Coast or country? Always the sea. How did I end up in the Midlands?!

What is the most adventurous thing you have EVER done? So many in my military career...non-military been the 1st English group to enter Sikkim in the Himalayas - was there providing health cover

What makes you cry? Ooh - so much gets to me! Seeing people overcoming adversity achieving the impossible against the odds - such as in the Paralympics and Invictus games. Seeing my daughter off on her travels and welcoming her home again!

What is your biggest frustration? When people don’t show respect for others and make it all about them.

How do you chill out? Meals with friends Watching Strictly on a Sat night. Dream lying by a pool on a hot sunny day with family/friends

What do you do to look after you? Daily routine of self-care - journaling, meditation, mantras, reading, exercise

And finally…. What question would you like to add to this list to ask other members? And please answer it yourself too How do you show up for you?! I show up for me in a variety of ways, like my daily routine as above! As a coach I owe it to my clients to be the best version of myself. To do this, I invest in my own self development through continued learning (always on a course!!), investing in a variety of coaches for different aspects of my business, being part of a mastery group for accountability and engage in the wonderful supportive community of Collaboration Global.

Showing up for me is being in integrity as a normal way of being and noticing and clearing up when I am not. This includes acknowledging when I am being inauthentic, such as when not practicing what I preach e.g. working late or not listening to my body when I need to take time out.

The power of the courage to be vulnerable, gives others the space to be so too, in an empowered not victim way. So, part of me showing up for me, is taking responsibility for every aspect of my life!
