Introducing Yvonne

---

I've always been a been a positive people person who loves to learn new skills, help others, and have fun.  

My life's been varied and fascinating. Like most of us, I've had moments of great joy, as well as setbacks, disappointments and heartbreak. They all contribute to the "me" I am today.  

Discovering the science of positive psychology was one of the greatest moments in my life.  It rates alongside the time I first met the man who was to become my husband - a sudden knowing that "this is it!"  (We've loved, laughed and squabbled occasionally for more years than I care to count!) 

I've worked in various roles, starting my career in administration, before going on to marketing, human resources and training.  My most significant has been in the real estate profession, which I joined in the 1990's.  I stopped selling real estate to go into consulting and training in 2003, and haven't looked back.  I continue to run The Real Estate Coach Ltd, alongside The Real Life Coach Ltd. If you work (or plan to work) in real estate, I can also double as your career coach!

I have several formal qualifications:  

• Certified Positive Psychology Coach
• Certified Results Coach
• Master Coach Certificate
• Bachelor of Applied Science
• Diploma in Adult Education & Training
• Diploma in Communication
• Diploma in Real Estate

I coach face to face (in Beachlands, a beautiful suburb of Auckland, New Zealand), and via phone or Zoom around the country and internationally.
