Who is Mandy?I am a life coach and communication skills consultant, passionate about making things happen, and helping other people do the same.I am impressed and delighted to see what you can achieve when:
I have also been a research and teaching biologist, a cabinetmaker, whitewater kayak instructor, trampoliner and belly dancer. I like to hike, ski, swim, sew, garden, scuba dive, bird watch or spend time with family and friends whenever I can. I grew up, studied and worked in southeastern Australia, and then worked in Israel and California before establishing a home base, with my husband, in Colorado. I enjoy the environments created by the mountains and streams of Colorado, but I need regular exposure to Australian landscapes and culture to nurture my "Aussie" spirit. According to my family, friends and colleagues, I have been coaching informally for years. I recently pursued specific life coach training and certification, enabling me to confidently provide high quality professional coaching for my clients. I continue to refine and augment my coaching skills through ongoing training, and, as a member of the International Coach Federation, I am bound by its professional standards and code of ethics. Recognising the central role played by communication skills in our quality of life, I have recently undertaken several writing projects on communication skills with my mother, Anne Kotzman, an almost-retired counselling psychologist. Listen to Me, Listen to You (Penguin) was released in 2007, and the companion Step-by-Step Guide to Communication Skills Training will soon be published by the Australian Centre for Educational Research. So much of how we experience life depends on what we say - to ourselves and to other people. Yet aside from a lifetime of trial and error, most of us have little training in communicating effectively and often find our self surprised and confounded by the outcomes of our efforts. To help people improve their lives by improving their communication skills, I offer a variety of communication skills training programmes. I like to make things happen, and help others to do the same. I like to share - experiences, perspectives, skills, joy, laughter ... My formal qualifications include:
