Teressa Sullivan

After many years of formally and informally coaching candidates, colleagues and friends, I decided to undertake coach training in 2007. I created my blog back when I was coaching regularly, and its evolved much as my life has over the years.. so you’ll find articles about coaching, motivation, recruitment, employment, recipes I have created and/or changed to suit my palette and style – as well as general musings on life and lashings of sarcastic/dark humour…

I’m a Recruitment Manager for New Zealand's largest dentistry group, and have over 14 years in the Corporate Recruitment Industry in New Zealand.

I am a certified Reiki Practitioner, and have completed studies in Natural Medicine and Nutritional Healthcare.

I love making lists, focussing on the positive, being pragmatic, reading, learning, singing in the shower (singing anywhere to be fair, but bathrooms have fabulous acoustics) baking, cooking, creating, skipping, lying in the sun, making up ridiculous songs and/or changing the lyrics of existing songs to suit my mood or the occasion, organising things, meditating, enjoying lazy brunches or extended lunches, cats, puppies, squirrels, gaming (esp the Sims or Left 4 Dead which makes total sense right?), rain, beaches, trees, growing things, white lilly’s, painting, colouring in, coffee in bed, white linen, comfy boots, french manicures, colourful pedicures, travelling, having ridiculously rad and random conversations with strangers, finding the perfect present, hand-making Christmas decorations, hosting dinner parties, fairy lights and candles, vanilla scented anything, re-creating and totally changing dishes I have enjoyed for my friends and family, well organised closets, Australian Shiraz and Central Otago Pinot Noir, open fires, white marshmallows, trying new things, writing, sparkly things, feeling strong, challenging myself, and cultivating an attitude of gratitude.
