I am continually developing myself, both career  wise and as a person.   I love working with people and learning from them.  I invest in new skills and knowledge, and do so on a daily basis.  I meditate every day to be more mindful, to improve my awareness and concentration, and to practice being non-judgmental.  I love working with good tools and technology.  I would like to share some of this with you through the information and exercises on my website, and by recommending material, mentors and  links that may be helpful to you.  You are welcome to share this any of this with your friends.

During my coaching or training, I create a  space of awareness and clarity for you to connect with your  inner wisdom, intuition,  strengths and values.  When we do so we experience life fully moment by moment, with satisfaction, enjoyment and fulfillment.  

I attended the Adlerian School of Coaching in Israel and graduated in July 2006 .  Today I am privileged to be on the Coaching Faculty.  I  give workshops on Organization and Time Management at the Adler Institute.  I have an honors degree in Business Management  from the University of South Africa, and am a professionally trained Holistic Therapist and Reflexologist.   As you can see I am quite multidisciplinary and love experiencing and learning new things.

For the last 20 years I have been involved a multitude of management positions mostly in the area of  information and technology management.  I have worked for both start ups and big software companies and consultancies.  I spent ten years with Baan Company, a global enterprise software provider for medium to large companies.  When the development center in Israel closed down I decided to make a career change.  Today I integrate my hobby of personal development and my work experience together in the coaching, mentoring and training that I do. 

I am founder of  Ask your coach where I work mainly with private clients both in Israel and internationally.  My clients are mostly  business or career orientated and also well-being or wellness.  

I am partner and co-founder at Liveline .  We mentor, coach and train in organizations, specializing in the area of wellness (well-being) and personal development. We work with employees and managers on both a one on one basis and with groups and teams.  Wellness programs may integrate experts like nutritionists and personal trainers and employees may experience greater motivation, a feeling of overall wellness, increased concentration and productivity.  Liveline  workshops are dynamic and are developed with the client in mind.

I am partner at U-Solve .  We work mainly in global companies integrating methodologies and tools for greater collaboration.  One of the areas that I have a personal interest is virtual team work. I love the challenge of facilitating and training people from different locations and watching how it all comes together with the right investment, planning, collaboration, skills, tools, goals, measurements, communication and sharing!  We work with managers on leadership skills and competencies and teams to share knowledge, communicate more effectively, find the right balance and be successful. 

Here are some of the major areas where I experienced transformation in myself and my clients

Career Change - I moved from working solely in a High-Tech software industry to integrating this now in my life.   I believe that when you have a dream and a vision anything is possible.  Most importantly I believe that you can work in the profession of your choice and make a good solid living.  I do this in baby steps with my clients.

Business Development - I work with managers and entrepreneurs to look for better ways to increase business.  I bring both my creativity and also experience into helping managers create new ways of doing things.  People work with me because they want to do something different in their business to what they have been doing up to now. 

Organization Management - In this area I have increased my personal skills in organizing and managing myself much better.   There is a multitude of approaches and things we can do to increase productivity and management.  It very much depends on my client and what their needs are.  Many of the areas below in well-being influence organization and management.

Well-being - I have significantly improved my  overall sense of well-being and inner peace  .I choose every day to invest in a healthy and balanced Lifestyle.  Taking care of myself on all levels of body (health, nutrition, exercise) , mind (being focused and aware of my thoughts), emotions (allowing myself to feel and be)  and soul (nurturing of my spirit). 

I had a baby now at 40 and I have never felt better.   I was able to walk right up to the birth.  Today I walk almost daily with our dog and my baby.  With ALL my clients without exception I work on Well-being, irrespective of what the coaching goals are.   Depending on my client and where they are at,  I will integrate 4 levels of awareness and practice involving body, mind and emotion and spirit.   

In Well-being I specialize in a number of areas: Creating positive habits, Changing negative perspectives, Work Life Balance, Positive Thinking, Emotional Mastery, Stress Management, Time management, Organization and Order including Clutter clearing and control.

Work Life Balance - Connecting intuitively to guide you as to finding the winning mix for success and fulfillment in both your home and in your career.  No more guilt feelings.  This is a juggle and as life changes its important to find the right mix over and over again, giving the priority the the right things at the right time. Often when we take care of stuff in our personal life this gives us huge amounts of energy , allowing us to be clearer at work and more efficient. 

Positive thinking -  I am continually working on myself to cultivate Happiness and non-judgmental thinking.   I meditate daily and the kind of meditation I do creates  a space for observation of my thinking,  creating awareness which naturally leads to positive change.  I used to be SO critical.  I saw the process of this decreasing and decreasing and when finally I saw the change in me as to how I relate to my family, then I knew I had really changed.  My investments in my personal growth are SO worthwhile.

Emotional Mastery - Being in control of my emotions rather than them being in control of me.  You have two voices.  One that is your true inner voice or your intuition and another  a destructive voice that likes to become attached  and feed off negative thoughts.  When you create awareness then you can listen to your inner voice and distinguish this from your destructive voice or thoughts that result in stressful or painful emotions.  Thoughts influence our emotions and affect our behavior.  When we are aware then we are in control of our lives rather than our emotions controlling us.

Stress Management - One of the reasons I studied to be a holistic therapist and worked on personal development was because I suffered from stress, even if it was slight.  I noticed how I would arrive home from a day at the office to unburden myself (getting upset or angry easily)  on my precious family.  I knew I had to find a better way of  responding.   Stress prevents us from being who we really are.  It  can freeze us or result in us being less productive and most often has a detrimental affect on our health and on personal relationships. 

During my coaching we ascertain together where the stress is coming from. What do I fear?  What stressful thought do I have?   There are often simple and practical things that can also help decrease stress.  For example creating good habits,  changing things that don't work for you, identifying people that weigh you down, better organization and time management, clearing up ones life, learning to say no, knowledge of certain tools and systems that can make your life and work more effective, doing something in a different and better way, delegation of tasks and forming a better support system. 

Clutter Clearing  - I work with my clients in this area as I used to be a “clutter-holic” and I have seen that this is one of the key areas for experience personal growth.  It has a lot to do with learning to let go.  You learn to let go of the things that are not serving you for instance through letting go of your clutter.  You may feel overwhelmed by the clutter that you do not know where to begin.   You may have way too much junk or you may be disorganized.   Clearing clutter reduces stress, it opens up doors, creates awareness and clarity, leads to productivity and sharpens the senses.
