My specific skills: - Writer of meaningful and engaging content that builds trust and inspires a call to action - Editor and eagle eyed proof reader - Resume writer/editor Currently I am part way through writing a tourist guide to the area of Portugal that I live in, which combines two of my passions; travel and writing. My plan is to publish the guide online, providing easy access to visitors whilst realising the potential for online advertising of local businesses and affiliate marketing. Previously I worked for 10 years as an executive level recruitment consultant and business owner in a niche market, which included advising on and editing resume and cover letters, client and project management and detailed market and candidate research. As a qualified Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) Practitioner, Hypnotherapist and Solution-Focused Psychotherapist I have an excellent awareness of and interest in the psychology of influence and communication, and the power that words play in these areas! I am a good listener and sensitive to others needs and value building strong meaningful communication in a collaborative way that ensures the best possible success on any given project. Something I hope you as my client will also see value in. Plus I really enjoy getting stuck into the research side of projects. I am also very flexible and adaptive to the nuances and working styles of clients and the variables that each project brings. My editing and proof reading skills have become honed over my time spent in recruitment and I am regularly relied on by friends and family for all kinds of documents/reports/emails. On a personal level I take a keen interest in personal growth and living a healthy lifestyle. I have particular passions for travel, cars, food/cooking and cats!
