Book Description
About the author
I had a happy family background, at my snobby independent school I was the scourge of the teachers. I was both rebellious and clever. I dropped out of college and drifted. I spent my first 33 years unknowingly searching for something that I wasn't getting from life.
I've had countless jobs in publishing, retail, music, advertising, catering, training and management. At the age of 23 I was assistant editor at Forum, the sex magazine but in 1974, I quit to live in Beirut, Lebanon. That lasted 6 weeks! A few years later I pulled out of a property deal to take off to Portugal with a former pop musician. My life didn’t lack adventure, but it had no purpose or meaning. I was adrift and floating where the wind took me.
I've had long term relationships [the longest was 15 years] and I've even been engaged twice. I'm 49 and proud of it. Because I have no children I have learned to re-direct my maternal instincts into my work and the people I help.
I am currently in a relationship with a lovely guy who is as nice and as unpredictable as me. I put my own lessons into practice when I pulled him!
I'm a Londoner and I've lived there most of my life. On another adventure to San Francisco in 1985 I read a self help book that made me believe for the first time that I could live the life I wanted, do work I loved AND love that work and play are the same. I'm ever grateful to Barbara Sher, who wrote the book, Wishcraft because she opened a door for me.
Some 15 years later, I am living a life I love because slowly but surely I learned how to.
I went on a long and winding journey of learning how to grow and feel better and have more out of life. These courses and books inspired me and I in turn want to inspire others.
I know that I have often harnessed my very flirtatious nature and my love of people in the nicest of all possible ways in order attract the right people and situations into my life.
Now I spend my time, writing for magazines, newspapers and internet sites. I'm also researching a new book. I regularly facilitate international flirting seminars, coach private clients and for the last 3 years I've been a frequent guest on radio and TV in the UK and the Netherlands. I got to do what I love. I adore writing and find it easy. I come alive on the radio and I sparkle on TV. That self-help book was right! You can live the life you love.
That's why I wrote Flirt Coach. It is self-help workbook that I hope will open a door for YOU. It is the door to who you are, at your best. And when you step through you will discover your ability to come alive and sparkle in your own way. You will find your natural flirtatious you!
