I am passionate about life long learning. This is why I chose education and development as a profession way back in 1990 and continue to add to and refine what I do. It is also why we chose the name Snowball: to suggest growing from something small into something really big that can keep on getting bigger and bigger. This is important not only for me, but the people I work with, who are in turn inspired to make a difference in their lives. I am proud that I am still working with some of my first clients.

In 1997, I teamed up with Ulrike to maximise our complementary skills. It is always our aim at Snowball to give participants practical, relevant tools to help tackle everyday, work-related issues and we are flexible in our approach. My particular focus is on leadership, people management skills, transitions, coaching, creativity and presentation. I work with both groups and individuals.

Since graduating, I have lived in the Middle East, Switzerland, Holland, Germany and now France . My work has taken me much further afield – to the Far East, South and Central America, India and Bangladesh, North and South Africa as well as all over Europe . Although I am English, I prefer to see myself as European. I speak French, German, Dutch and Spanish, and I remain fascinated by how different people and cultures communicate.

I graduated from Durham University in the UK in 1981, where I studied French and German literature. After that I did an RSA teaching qualification. I am also qualified to use psychometric tests such as the Myers Briggs Type Indicator and am an NLP practitioner and ICF certified coach. I currently live in Chamonix, France , where I indulge my passion for mountains.
