My purpose is to help people unlock their potential.
My passion is developing myself and others.
My vision is to be the go to coach/trainer within recruitment.
My goal is to change the perception of recruitment and create the best generation of recruiters and people.
My promise to you is that you'll never have a boring session and you will always come away at least, 1% better, every time.
Coaching people to get 1% every day!
Since I was 16yo where I got to my lowest point, I became obsessed with personal development. When I was 19yo I was signing on at the job centre because I couldn't get a job and told my 'careers advisor' that I wanted to do a job that would be helping people, where I could build a career and earn a good living. Unlike the 80+ percent of people, I actually wanted to get into recruitment.
When I first got into recruitment, I was bullied for being different, I was unfairly dismissed from one position and when I was on only £600pm, I had to help my disabled mum with the mortgage payments. So it's fair to say that at a young age, I had to overcome a lot of hardship and adversity, all of which I am incredibly grateful for now.
​
In the next 5yrs I won multiple awards, travelled Europe for work, was invited to be on numerous podcasts (even set up my own), joined the Mental Health In Recruitment organisation, became a mentor for the Recruitment Mentors organisation, led a sales team in which I took both my team members to presidents club and many more milestones.
​
In the 5yrs at an international tech recruitment consultancy, I sold the most retainers in the company's history, with the first one being worth £250k in one year. By the end of my time there, over 90% of the jobs I worked on were exclusive/retained on 20-30% fees.
​
When I was promoted to manager, I got my team to solely work on exclusive/retained search and took both of my consultants to presidents club in year 1 with one of the consultants who sold 5 retainers on 25-30% fees in Europe.
​
During the pandemic, I had a chance to really reflect on what I want for my life and ultimately asked myself "What's my passion? What's my purpose? What can I do that won't feel like work, long term?" and every single time I thought of COACHING... Hence why I left sales to go into Learning & Development in 2022.
​
In 2023, I got married in Cyprus (where my family is from) and in November, the company I worked for had to make redundancies. Most people would be pissed off or annoyed, but for me, this was the kick up the butt I needed to go solo, full-time.
​
After achieving the targets put in place within my L&D role, I am 100% dedicated to living my passion for coaching & training people, predominantly within the field of recruitment.
In 2016 I transitioned from contract healthcare recruitment to permanent medical technology sales recruitment. I almost quit 2months into the job because of my own limiting beliefs and the silly stories I used to tell myself about who I was, but I made a crucial choice. I done what I call 'burning the boat' which means you burn the metaphorical boat you took to get to the destination and have no choice but to be successful there.
