My early life felt unpredictable & outside my control. We moved from country to country and culture to culture. The sands were always shifting, and general anxiety prevailed.
When I was 10 years old, my art teacher asked us to write about what we wanted to be when we grew up. Everyone else seemed to know and I felt lost. The teacher came over to me and quietly said,
“Nancy, with your talents, you could be an architect.”
His belief in me gave me courage and emboldened me.
Learning to be true to myself, my values, and MY potential was a crucial turning point.
18 years later, in a different city and a different country, I saw my teacher from a cab window striding along; we screeched to a halt, and I ran after him.
I literally said, “I BECAME an architect!”
In finding my purpose then, I had discovered the mindset for a meaningful life as a professional in the business world.
10 years on, as a junior partner in a successful architectural practice, I was chosen to lead the company through a major crisis during a financial recession.
My experience of resolving complex issues, and finding ways to create value, was transformative and laid the foundations for the work I do today.
No matter the challenge, I believe in my clients’ ability and capacity to convert obstacles into opportunities that move them towards what they really want, for themselves and others, to fulfil their vision for a worthwhile life.
