WELCOME
The Mission
Born with a cause and a purpose, like each and every one of you. Take Flight is my little piece of the universe with a mission to help, guide & encourage young people to define their why, what matters to them and figure out how they go about achieving it. My approach encompasses the belief that the answers are all within us and my job is to shed light and bring them to surface.

Think of me as a thinking partner, an independent source that helps navigate thoughts, ideas, interests and then simplifies them into goals and tasks.
I am qualified with a Bachelor of Business and Information Management with a double major in Marketing and Information Management from the University of Auckland and also a certified Life Coach and Group Fitness Instructor. I have worked in Marketing for 10 years and have now decided to really tap into my WHY of helping young people with career and life coaching. The youth I’ve worked with like calling me a holistic coach, I’ll take that!
I believe I have the life experience mixed in with understanding youth to shine the light and help make a difference. From figuring out your why and what makes you tick, to helping you write a CV and practice for an interview. I am here to guide and encourage.
Let’s get to work!
What "Define your why" really means is best explained by a smart, young 17 year old trying to figure it all out…
“So it's the start of a new year and young 17 and 18 year olds who have just finished high school are being encouraged (or more pressured) to know what they want to do for the rest of their life!! We finish 13 years of high school (all we have known our whole life) and are expected to make these big decisions which are meant to determine our beckoning "future". But the people in our life forcing our hand fail to help us understand our purpose/ our "why" in figuring out what we want to do or more importantly WHY we want to do it... instead of racking up a student loan on a degree which will not be beneficial in the long run or working full time at a job you hate at such a young and promising age” Leah Siljeur
I urge you to take a second, breathe and let’s dig deep to find a WHY, a purpose, a job, a career that resonates and matters to YOU.
8 REASONS TO TAKE FLIGHT
Safe Place to Experiment
A no judgment, confidential space independent of your family, friends and the feeling of having to do and say “the right thing”
Guidance so you thrive
General advice can only get you so far. We need to hone in on what matters to YOU and what YOU are good at by exploring your personality traits, likes, dislikes, strengths and weaknesses.
Accountability
An independent source that continues to encourage you and hold you accountable to keep moving forward.
Save time & money
Years and a large debt on a qualification for something you don’t even know that you will want to work in or even knowing what the practical work even looks like post completing it!
Clarity
You don’t know what you want? A listening partner to help you articulate your thoughts and aspirations.
Goals
Help with the overwhelming job of breaking down a big picture into bite sized tasks to achieve it.
Dedicated Time to Make Progress
Time with a coach forces you to – for the time of the session – put everything else aside and actually spend time defining and vocalizing your personal “brand”
Practice for the real world
You can get an outside perspective on new ideas, practice for an interview, help with writing a CV and refining a compelling elevator pitch.
The service is a 6-module program with each module taking two to three one-hour sessions depending on the individual, some people may take longer to warm up and for me to draw out information required to make breakthroughs.
MODULE 1.
Planning & goal setting
MODULE 2.
Personality & brainstorming
MODULE 3.
Shaping pathway options
MODULE 4.
Hands on & the real world
MODULE 5.
Reassess & reflect
MODULE 6.
Fill in the gaps
I believe that all answers are within the individual and it’s a matter of allowing dedicated time and energy in a comfortable and safe place for the person to voice them and believe they can be achieved.
