Having always wanted to be an engineer since I was a child I achieved my goal & became a Chartered Engineer in 1987.   Goals are important to me as they focus my attention and give me purpose. Looking back I guess I did battle with some rather traditional beliefs about what careers young girls should pursue. However I didn't let these get in my way! Always a tom-boy, spending my formative working years in a predominately male environment was no problem - it was fun, it was challenging; things that I value. I realise now that I designed a number of unique strategies to deal with these attitudes; at school (single-sex) I'd fix the sewing machines rather than actually use them, in my early career I sought recognition as an engineer not as a woman who was an engineer.                  Janet Wright I worked my way up from Lab. Technician to Senior Engineer. I gained a degree in Electronic Design & Production along the way (via day release). However just when I'd achieved what I thought I wanted, guess what? It wasn't! Someone asked me if I'd like to manage a group of engineers. I said I'd give it a go, enjoyed it & found that I was good at it. So I started my path towards becoming what I call a human engineer.   I moved from engineering management to directing high performing teams. However when my father died suddenly forteen years ago I found myself questioning what I was doing & where I was going. I looked at the leaders in my high tech, multi-national organisation & didn't see anything that inspired me. It wasn't the individuals themselves but rather what was expected of them in the positions they held.I realised that I no longer wanted to be CEO! So that is when I changed direction toward Performance Coaching, working with individuals who want to make changes in their lives but didn't know where to start.   I discovered NLP & followed a course of training; NLP Practitioner, NLP Masters & NLP Coach with ITS (www.itsnlp.com) to enable me to Coach others to success. The Wright Coach was established in February 2004. To read about some of the experiences that my clients have had whilst being coached by me click here.
