Introducing
Narelle Stratford
Well,
that's me in the photograph above!
I
was born in Gordonvale, south of Cairns in sunny north Queensland, Australia.
I moved a lot throughout Queensland, and settled for a time in Mackay and
Mirani. Like many of us, I married,
had children, and later divorced.
I have a huge interest and love for all things healing and spiritual and studied
massage, herbs, healing and crystals and so on, until I decided that the mind
was a great place to heal body, mind and spirit, especially when you work
with the power of your Subconscious mind.
I
still love crystals, and you can visit Crystal
Vibratio
if you are interested in more information.
I finally became a psychologist in 1997 (went through University as a single Mum
and had to move to Rockhampton and Melbourne, and completed it eventually!)
In the past five or six years since living in Brisbane, there's been a lot
happening, you know how it goes. In love, out of love, moved house, but
through it all, the business has remained a constant in my life. (My
philosophy on love and relationships is to remember those who've passed on or
through my life, with love and laughter!)
The
business began as Sales Champions in late 2002, and in early 2003, coaching
began with Real Estate Agents on sales, business and
marketing concepts which initially were on-the-spot solutions. By June
that year, there was a 6 week structured programme of
coaching and over 70 tools that included letters, scripts, systems, personal
development and client nurturing.
Mid
2004, the business was expanded by building a network of Coaches, and now there
are several who are licensed to deliver programmes, to cope with inquiries and
requests for coaching, information and programmes.
Inquiries come from our websites, advertising and authored articles in
Quality Australia's “The Business Improvement Journal” and various
magazines and journals. In January 2005, the business made a timely foray into
writing and delivering programmes to service-oriented small business
owners, with a structured step by step 12 month programme of tools and personal
coaching.
In
the past couple of years however, I have focussed more and more on the personal
side of therapy, although I still do some business coaching, or training, or
policies and procedures work.
Master
my tabby cat!
I
love to have that bit of variety and of course, I love to live life 2 the max,
so dancing, yoga, meditation, overseas travel and catching up with friends and family (I'm now a
Grandmother to two gorgeous bubs!) keeps me sane and supremely happy.
