Note: Yvonne will not be available during September and October 2024 as she will be on sabbatical.

Yvonne has worked with New Zealand Public Service clients for a number of years. Her own career as a lawyer was in the private sector in the UK and New Zealand.  As a coach/facilitator, she works with clients both in the public and private sectors in New Zealand and overseas.

Yvonne’s coaching style is open, flexible and empathic. Yvonne challenges/stretches clients, challenging their self-imposed limitations. Rather than using a coaching formula, Yvonne partners with her clients to achieve the best possible coaching outcome to meet their needs.  

Yvonne supports clients beyond creating insight, to making long-lasting behavioural and attitudinal shifts to achieve long-term change. A private sector background brings a different world view and an ability to offer clients a different perspective on how to handle their situations. 

Yvonne is a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) through the International Coach Federation and Certified Positive Intelligence ® Coach (see positiveintelligence.com) 

She has a special interest in: 
•    Women in leadership
•    Developing a positive and growth mindset 
•    Identifying a leadership purpose 
•    Addressing the imposter syndrome 
•    Clear communication 
•    Leaders as coaches 
•    Developing resilience, overcoming fear and negative self-talk
•    Dealing with conflict.

Yvonne is available for coaching both in person (at her office in Auckland), and for hybrid and virtual coaching.  So, geography should not be a barrier for working with her as your coach.
