During the COVID-19 era Claire is focusing on helping individuals and companies to build resilience, adapt to change and thrive.
The Coronavirus pandemic represents a physical health threat, but it is the mental health threat that is our greatest challenge. The emotional impact will last far longer than the pandemic itself. In her talks and workshops, Claire gives real psychological insight into the negative impact the Coronavirus is having on mental health globally and speaks about the 7 key elements we all need to address if we successfully want to beat the Coronavirus.
As a speaker Claire won no fewer than 40 Toastmasters Awards between May 2010 and December 2016 – including Winner of the Durban Club’s Annual Impromptu Speaking Competition in 2011, 2012 and 2013. Her trademark speaking style is professional, light, engaging and warm.
As a trainer, Claire’s experience is in the field of Intra and inter-personal skills. She runs her own courses and also facilitates courses for companies. These include Emotional Intelligence, Basic and Advanced Counselling Skills, Assertiveness and Communication Skills courses, among others.
As a coach, Claire offers coaching to people who might be uncomfortable with the idea of formal counselling or psychotherapy, or who would simply like to improve their life with the help of a Life or Business Coach. She uses her skills and experience as a practicing psychologist, while still retaining a distinction between Coach and Psychologist.
