Dulcie Shepherd Swanston

The first business that I set up in 2012 after leaving over 20 years of very happy and varied Corporate life was a coaching business, Profitably Engaged.

When people ask me today how I then got into training, writing books, being on the radio and hosting conferences that I can honestly say it is because I listened to feedback from people I liked and respected.

Coaching clients would often ask me if I could train their teams on the science and research models I had used to help them. I used to say “I don’t do training…” until I realised that wasn’t any reason why I couldn’t! 

Over time, as I trained teams of people, clients would often ask for book recommendations or say “You should write this all down…” My clients therefore gave me the idea for my next business – Top Right Thinking – I wrote a number of blogs on the practical applications of the psychology and neuroscience that I knew my clients had found invaluable.
