  So Much More

  • Melbourne, Australia

  • Founding Director

    • Jan 2015 - Present
    • Melbourne, Australia

    So Much More is a new organisation being launched in late July, 2015. Through its innovative services and on-line community, our purpose is to enhance the well-being of community members, both in their day-to-day, and in furthering of their hopes and aspirations. Membership is via a low cost annual subscription, less than the cost of a cup of coffee per week.My PhD in life coaching was in part aimed at preparing for the creation of So Much More, along with my organisational and life coaching work around well-being. So Much More is focused on those who are already leading a full life, who for one reason or another (busy lives, carer fatigue, etc.) would benefit from some services that add sparkle and support in day-to-day life and when they'd like to further progress their hopes. If you'd like an overview of So Much More's purpose, its people and its services, please go to our pre-launch website at www.somuchmore.org.au. The password for access after clicking on "Guest"​ is 'morewellbeing'. I feel fortunate to have an excellent team supporting this organisation, including a team of mentors and coaches to provide personalised support for members. I continue to provide organisational psychology consulting services, including executive coaching, to corporate clients through the Assessment Dimensions as in the past.
