Genevieve Deacon
Organisational Psychologist and Coach“There is no passion to be found playing small in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.” – Nelson Mandela
My Approach
Motivated by the application of psychological theory, my aim is to elevate an individual’s ability to be productive and successful in both their professional and personal lives. I believe that work should be a positive force in our lives and take delight in collaborating with individuals and organisations to bring this vision to life. My coaching practice is focused on supporting individuals to achieve greater success in their careers, within relationships (in or outside of work) and the overall management the negative impacts of workplace stress and burnout.
I use the skills acquired in the Neurolinguistic Programming and Life Coaching qualification I obtained to support individuals in unlocking their full potential, overcoming limiting beliefs, and navigating personal and professional challenges with resilience and purpose. As a Mindfulness Teacher, I play the vital role of a passionate advocate for mental health and wellbeing, guiding individuals to implement strategies that enhance their overall joy, happiness, physical health, mental wellbeing, and emotional balance nurturing growth and development.
My Values & Beliefs
Authenticity
We are all unique, and it is our individuality that adds value to this world. I believe that being true to oneself, expressing genuine thoughts and feelings allows us to bring this uniqueness to life.
Balance
I believe having balance in life and work allows us to fully enjoy all aspects of our lives. It allows us to appreciate the good, work through the difficult moments whilst striving for harmony and equilibrium.
Compassion
I believe compassion encompasses kindness, empathy, and understanding towards others’. I strive to live a life wherein I show consideration, empathy, and appreciation for both myself and others.
