Marie Bonney has a wholistic approach to her coaching and consulting.  She listens to her clients at both a heart and mind level and helps them connect to their higher purpose, that which gives them a greater sense of achievement, joy, happiness and success. She focuses on their unique talents and abilities and the decisions they need to make to keep them on their path of change, growth and development.  Marie helps clients to tune into what is happening for them at a deeper level, identifying stuck points in their thoughts, actions and feelings and how to learn from and overcome them.  This helps the people and organisations she works with to gain a better sense of meaning, purpose and value in their lives and careers.

 

Marie has a commitment to help people reach the next stages of their personal and professional journey so that they can master new skills and qualities that are already within their potential, highlighting existing qualities and preferences and building on them.

 

Marie walks her talk.  She actively engages in her own inner work and uses a range of self-care tools.  She regularly practices and enjoys meditation, yoga, gym, walking, reiki, massage, chiropractic, prayer and affirmations, and psychotherapy supervision.  She has also focussed on her own continual professional development.  She holds a Bachelor of Business coupled with post graduate qualifications in Adult Education, as well as Counselling and Psychotherapy. 

 

Marie is accredited in administering the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality assessment tool.  She has undertaken preliminary training in tai chi, crystal healing and art therapy and has sampled kinesiology, homeopathy, Bach remedies, creative visualisations, and other subconscious methods such as hypnosis, sand play, oracle spreads and tarot, as well as psychic healings.

 

Marie believes that every person has choices in the development, self care and healing methods that best suit them when experiencing transitions in their lives and careers.

 

With this broad scope of knowledge and experience Marie is equipped to guide and offer options to her clients when they work through changes and seek additional complimentary self care and help.

 

 

 

Marie has had an extensive and diverse career in the public, private and not-for-profit sectors leading social, corporate and individual change and development.

 

She has run major social improvement programs across the general population and for a range of communities touching the lives of young people, indigenous groups, people with literacy difficulties, culturally diverse groups and people with disabilities.  Her policy focus has covered education, employment, consumer protection, business licensing, and using information and communications technologies to develop individuals, workplaces and groups.

 

In her corporate work she has been responsible for multimillion dollar budgets, diverse teams, major change integrations, and significant legislative initiatives and reviews.  Her strengths include planning, strategy and people focussed management skills to engender commitment from, and respect for, the people affected by change.

 

As a coach and consultant Marie assists clients work through key issues, develop skills and reach an inner knowing of their capabilities and potential.  In doing so they are able to make decisions and choices that continue them on the stage of their life, career and corporate journey that is of value to them.
