Thea lives with Greg in Perth, Western Australia. She publishes self improvement resources at Forward Steps.
Her home site and the hub of all her online publications is Forward Steps at www.forwardsteps.com.au, and all her materials and resources, are being moved to www.myforwardsteps.com
Thea has also written a book titled Time For My Life: 365 Stepping Stones, and her book is available as a download version or as a paperback copy.
Personally, Thea has challenged herself in her own life, particularly when she jumped out of a 23 year career, sold her home and moved across country on her own. After which she met her life partner, Greg.
She has read many self improvement books and a great amount of material over the past 30 years, plus participated in several personal development programs over the years. Thea has been coached, and coached others, for many years plus provided hundreds of resources online since 2002.
Thea worked in education for 23 years and was the founder chairperson of a non-profit artist group, managing a gallery space for two years (and is very proud of having sold 4 of her own paintings at over $680 each), before starting her own life coaching business in 2002.
She has four university degrees in the area of education (Dip.Ed.,B.Ed.,Grad.Dip.Ed.Admin.,Grad.Dip.Lib.) which serve not much purpose these days, other than demonstrating how committed she is to learning!
Thea now offers solely internet-delivered self improvement information, tools and services. Therefore no longer providing one-to-one coaching, other than by way of personal communication with the Members at myforwardsteps.com.
Forward Steps is all about just that …forward steps. If we are facing in the right direction, all we have to do is keep on walking. Thea’s mantra is that “Each forward step enhances the value of your first”. Another favorite saying that she keeps at her desk, “Whatever you focus on, WILL expand”.
In addition, Thea has contributed chapters in books by various authors e.g. Christopher Westra, Jinger Jarrett and Priscilla Palmer. She has herself published ebooks, produced a monthly ezine since October 2002, maintained eleven blogs for four years, has several websites at which she presents practical resources for personal development and some web development, and online business information, plus participates at various online communities.
Thea continues to learn, and to expand what she provides to you online. Even more so, now that she has discovered Digital Access Pass and created myforwardsteps.com as a unique Membership site.
Namasté, Thea
