​Hello from Shirley,

How are you and what/whose intentions are you following?

​

My primary intentions:

- Empowerment through responsibility: I aim to help people working on projects to feel more empowered through acting responsibly in the way that resonates with their own wisdom

- Responsible project management: I uphold RPM principles (learn more from responsiblePM.com) that incorporate the wisdom of systems thinking and adaptation.

- Enabling empowerment in others: I encourage clients to enable others to  feel similarly empowered, so fostering a thriving community.

- Using diverse life-learned skills: With a background of engineering, professional coach, project manager, coach supervisor, manager, mentor, even occasional speaker or workshop facilitator, I bring a breadth of experience to help you on your developmental journey.

​

Why work with me?

I have a particular affinity for those with scientific or technical backgrounds and perhaps also an interest in understanding requirements well. Our upbringing often focuses on right/wrong and analytical thinking but needs now are complex and uncertain, often people-dependent, needing qualitative thinking, too, with its rich properties, as well as adaptability..

​

I offer coaching (or coach supervision) grounded in human centred coaching philosophy. You'll also find me volunteering in the PMI UK Mentoring team, understanding that coaching may not be right for those uncertain about their direction. 

​

Mentoring and self-awareness

 

If you're a PMI UK Member then consider the PMI UK Mentoring programme .Successful mentoring also involves getting clarity about what you want. Engaging in conversations or doing you're own research can enhance self-awareness, which is crucial for defining your own desired growth path and assessing risks. Ultimately, choices are yours.

​

My experience with empowerment

 

Thanks to those who have attempted to empower me in my career and I feel sad that I may not have met their expectations. I eventually came to realise that I am the one who puts air to my wings and judges 'empowered'. Empowerment thus comes from within, giving oneself permission to act from inner wisdom, even if it requires courage and may not please everyone in one moment. This self-responsibility ultimately leads to influencing more satisfying collaboration and clearer direction for growth.

​

Inspiration for your journey

 

Empowerment is about embracing self-responsibility and speaking from your inner wisdom. It involves understanding your motivations and responsibilities and balancing all needs to be met. How could defining empowerment this way inspire you?

Let's have a (responsible) conversation about how responsible project management and coaching principles can empower you to discover and master your intentions. Let's explore this journey together.
