STORY ALERT!!

I know, you didn’t click on the about page expecting a super cool goat to pop up but bear with me…there’s a point!

Did you know goats have been the companions of race horses for hundreds of years as they’re known for calming skittish horses.

These friends of highly strung racehorses were often stolen prior to races to decrease the likelihood of that horse winning the race as an anxious competitor is not a highly performing one!

And so the phrase ‘get your goat’ was borne…an act that irritates you! Who knew?!!

Don’t you just blooming LOVE etymology?

ok this is an actual picture of me…

I’m Colette & I’m your goat. AKA your supportive partner.

My skill is in supporting people to calm down, see clearly and access their inner resourcefulness…helping them perform at their very best (and win races!!)

I’m a bit mischievous too because.. well, I’m a goat and goats like mischief!!

‘Serious’ is over rated, it’s not my style.

That’s not to say we don’t do serious work, we do.  But not all action is equal.  Rather than focus your energy on actions that drain you, we discover the ways of working that energise you.

There are many roads to Rome…if the road you’ve been walking is squeezing all the joy from your life, know there are plenty of other options. Or maybe you don’t actually want to go to Rome?

Too often we buy into preconceived notions of seriousness….this ‘should’ be ‘taken seriously’ while others things don’t. Yet, it’s often within this judgement of how we should feel, believe and act that ‘problems’ are born.

What matters to me is that I am curious about what matters to you.

I care and help you be your very best and THAT is most definitely what I am.

Adopting a spirit of playfulness and fun to my life helps me to   stay curious AND resourceful which in turn helps me to show   up as my very best.

And I know when you sprinkle some playfulness back into your life you’ll reap the benefit too!

It IS possible to make AMAZING things happen!

I used to doubt this, but i don’t now.

storm clouds always clear.

The thing that made the biggest difference to me was learning about and adopting a strengths approach.  In essence this is focusing on all that IS working in our lives as opposed to what’s not.  As a neuroscience geek I know that focusing on the problems doesn’t serve our productivity never mind our wellbeing. (There’s a whole lotta science that backs my advocacy of a playful approach!)

My curiosity about people and how we work gave me a bit of a profiling habit too…MBTI, LAB profiling, Strengthscope, the Enneagram and more…but the one that I’ve got a soft spot for is the strengths profiler Talent Dynamics.  It helped me discover and accept what I am naturally good at, what drains me and how I can get into a gorgeous state of flow where I can get oodles done AND feel energised in the process.  Out of the 8 profiles I’m a ‘Star’.

This means my strength is in shining a light on other people. As an extrovert I can be bubbly and need people around me to energise me and lift me up…yet I also need quiet introspective time.

I am naturally able to see the big picture and the possibilities within situation…there are ALWAYS more than one way to achieve the results you want.

And I’m pretty blooming good at motivating and encouraging people too.

The self awareness and the understanding of life that comes from this system is a game changer for your career, business and family life. It makes things things soooo much simpler…and that’s what I’m ALL about, which is why I trained to use their system and am now a Talent Dynamics ‘Flow Consultant’.

I wonder which profile you are?  How well do you know yourself?

All in all, I combine my professional and personal experience to walk my talk. Ethics are super important to me, there’s too much smoke and mirrors going on in the world and I believe we just need to own where we are and stop pretending to ourselves and others. It doesn’t serve us.  It’s time get off the rollercoaster and decide for yourself what game you want to play.

So that’s a bit about me, do feel free to connect with me on social media (there’s links below) and have a mooch around this site to find out more about the work I do, and if you’re in any way curious about how I can help you personally or your organisation then pop your message below and let’s chat!
