About Violet Road Coaching
True dialogue, strong relationships
– the mission of Violet Road Coaching.
Violet Road Coaching grew out of my desire to help change people's lives for the better. Through my work in the peacebuilding sector, and my personal experiences, I was convinced that if people just learned how to listen to each other, the world could be changed beyond imagination.
This is where my dedication to dialogue comes in. True dialogue is more about listening than it is about talking. I've witnessed the magic that can happen between people who used to be at odds but who are brave enough to auhentically listen to one another - and the transformation that comes with it.
My vision is simple: strengthening relationships through dialogue. Through coaching, I support people in acquiring the knowledge and skills they need to practice true dialogue. This, the nurturing of knowledge and skills in others, is my ultimate goal.
About me
I knew early on that I wanted to change the world, somehow.
I grew up with a strong urge to change the world for the better. This urge eventually led me down the path of peacebuilding, the field in which I started my professional career. I came to find that my passion lay in facilitating conversations between different groups of people and it was here that I discovered the true meaning of dialogue.
So when the opportunity presented itself in 2022 for me to launch my own business, I jumped at the prospect. I wanted to share the knowledge and skills I’d accumulated so far, to help people learn – and appreciate – the power of true dialogue, while strengthening their relationships.I don't believe anyone is ever done learning and I love that I get the opportunity to learn something new with every new meeting.
When I'm not busy practicing the art of dialogue, you can find me practicing playing the violin, taking a walk with my dog, or spending some time in my garden.
