Four Ways For Us to Play...

What lights you up?

Express Who You Are with Enthusiasm.

In the 1920’s “This Little Light of Mine” was written as a children’s gospel song. In the 50’s and 60’s it became a civil rights anthem. I like it for its message and its history. We all have a contribution to make, so we have no excuses not to figure out our part of the game of life.

When who you are and what you do align, you can express yourself without hesitation. Personality Assessments provide insights into our natural predispositions, our strengths and our gifts. Rather than putting you in a box, understanding what makes you and others tick provides a path to acceptance and understanding.

The success that Entrepreneurs and Self-Employed people experience oftentimes hinges on their self-alignment. It is a matter of trust. Potential clients can sense when a solopreneur is not being true to themselves and they shy away from engaging.

There is pressure on us all to make things happen and it can be challenging to know how to figure out the next right step. This step is always in alignment with what is right for our vision and values. Sometimes having a trusted advisor is necessary to be able to see and express ourselves clearly. We all we born to let our “little light shine.”

Personality Assessments

Personality assessments are a valuable tool when you are seeking some insight. The MBTI, Enneagram and the Reiss Desire Profile all look at different aspects of how you most naturally function. When you know who you are – the good, the great, the bad, the ugly – and accept the whole enchilada, you can tap into your uniqueness.  I have worked with corporate teams, leaders, professionals and entrepreneurs to help them up their game and reduce stress, by being themselves. What a relief!

I found Sandy to be extremely knowledgeable and the deep insight I gained in doing the Enneagram with Sandy, to be profound. What I appreciated most was the practical tips for working with others, and the understanding I gained of my journey to who I am today. I now have a platform for moving forward which will unleash my talents fully. Adria Trowhill

Abstract and Nature Inspired Paintings

Paintings act as visual metaphors making a statement that also invites the viewer to attach their own interpretation. People entering an office space with art on display get a  sense of the person through the images they choose. The size, colour, line, composition and subject matter all give information about the energy and sensibility of the owner. Having a painting in your office may be a source of inspiration, a reminder of what matters or simply something that appeals to your sense of style. Perhaps one of my existing paintings appeals to you.

I know Sandy primarily as an artist and always enjoyed visits with her in her gallery space at the Distillery. She has a great sense of humour and is always willing to spend time chatting and listening to others. I have one of Sandy’s paintings hanging in my home and often study and contemplate it. As well as being a talented artist, Sandy is a patient listener who will try to lead you gently to possible solutions to your problems. She is a lovely competent leader who inspires and guides others along their paths in life. Marie Payne

Commissioned Paintings

You need some more colour and creativity on your walls, and one of my recent paintings speaks to you so perhaps I can paint something for you. We brainstorm a concept and I execute your vision.  A new painting can represent a new direction, a new mindset or a new course of action.  See my current work and some other archived pieces – perhaps something will resonate with you. All commissioned work is guaranteed risk free. If you aren’t satisfied with the final painting I gladly keep the canvas.

Sandy created an Insight’s Portrait of my personality. She opened my eyes up to my key strengths but also was right about the things I need to work on developing. It was an amazing one of a kind experience. Sandy was delightful to work with and I enjoyed the entire process. I have the painting and write up in my office as a daily reminder to remember who I am, what I stand for and what I need to focus on moving forward.
I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking to learn more about themselves. Janet Lewis

1 to 1 Interaction

Entrepreneurs are notoriously independent. Some high-functioning solopreneurs have come to value having a trusted advisor and confidante when faced with a dilemma.  Together we can dive deep into the depths of meaning, or tease out the brambles of mundane matters.  On some occasions, we might address a limiting belief or an emotional barrier. On others occasions we might explore many options and layers to find what makes sense as a next step that lines up with the visions and values that matter.

Sandy is a most intuitive and savvy coach. She immediately sees past the obvious and can help you confront the “real” issues. I’ve witnessed her do this for a number of people with immediate impact. Lesley Parrott

Simple Elegant WordPress Sites

A simple WordPress website can take your gifts and talent to the world. I build sites for those creating their first web presence, for those who want a simple refresh of their offerings and for those who want to be in control of changes to their website.

 

Sandy is a joy to work with. I have worked with Sandy on three new business web sites now. Sandy listens really well, clarifies her understanding with great questions and then has loads of creative ideas. Sandy always delivers to the timelines we agree and the end result is always a delight. Sandy knows her strengths and knows when to add other people from her network to the team to get the best result. Most of all working with Sandy feels like working with a friend, someone that is for you, who sees the deeper meaning in what you are trying to do and does everything she can to help realise the initial dream.
