Introducing Debbie Reeds
Hello, I'm the founder of Soul Sanook Coaching.  I'm British but in 2001 I set off
to Asia and set up Soul Sanook when living in Bangkok, Thailand.  I returned to
the UK a couple of years ago and live on the south coast.  I have a passion for
living life to the full and for helping others to do the same.
Debbie Reeds
What's your Background?
I trained as a Personnel Manager in the UK, working with a Building Society and
Management Consultancy before setting up my own People Management
Consultancy business focusing mainly on small and medium sized enterprises.  
Why did you go to Asia?
I had achieved a degree of success but hadn't yet found what I really wanted to do.  I retrained as an English teacher
and set off to travel with the aim of experiencing different cultures and lifestyles.  Working for local companies in Hong
Kong and Thailand has given me a strong appreciation of cross cultural issues as well as the challenges and rewards of
living and working abroad.
How did you get into Coaching?
I had been involved with Business Coaching when consulting and became interested in Life Coaching when I studied
Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and attended other personal development workshops.  The
Mastery of self
expression made a big impact on me and I am delighted this is now being run in Hastings, UK.

"Debbie gives me clarity,
she has helped me
organise and focus on my
passions.  I find her
sessions so empowering, I
can't recommend her
enough!"

Some of my most stimulating times were conversations with entrepreneurs about their future plans and seeing how a
few people changing their attitude could have a major impact on an organisation.
What's Your Soul Sanook?
My Soul Sanook (Soul Fun) comes from sharing learning with others, 'ah-ha' moments, dancing,  singing,
independent travel, beaches, sunsets, smiles from people I don't know and hugs from those I do!
What are your Qualifications?
I'm an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) with the International Coaching
Federation and my training is with the American University, CoachU.  I've written
about coaching qualifications in the article '
Coaching Clarity'.  I'm also an NLP
Practitioner and have professional qualifications in personnel, marketing and
teaching English.  My degree is in Business.
Why Soul Sanook?
I love to see the positivity and happiness that oozes from clients after our
sessions and I know the impact this has on those they are close to as well as the
people they interact with during their day.  It's this rippling out into the global
community that inspires me to develop my coaching practice.
