Why am I writing this blog? I love to write and I love to help people. I have found sharing my thoughts, stories, tips and suchlike does help in a small way. You also get a chance to know more about me. If you like what I have to say please feel free to post a comment, good or bad:) Also please connect with me on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn, I would love to get to know more about you too.

I was originally born in Birmingham, UK and have lived in Ontario, Canada since 1993. I am the President of Motivational Steps and offer keynotes, workshops and personal/business development.

My husband is Dave Ockwell-Jenner, also born in the UK. I have four fantastic children: three boys and one girl. We have five cats (three brothers and two sisters) and live in the Waterloo Region of Ontario, a beautiful place to live.

After many challenges including divorce and breast cancer twice I decided to return to school, and discover what my true vocation really was. Just two weeks into the course I heard my first motivational speaker and that is when I decided I wanted to become a motivational speaker. After graduating the course one year later I founded Motivational Steps and three years later I co-founded the Small Business Community Network.
