Lorraine Blackley - Founding Director

A social entrepreneur advocating a creative response to life in both personal and professional settings. I have developed an approach to achieving one's desired future that is based on creating and living from the heart. Teaching clients simple and practical approaches to direct their careers, business's and life toward greater meaning and prosperity.

Founding director of two Auckland based training companies. Currently and for the last 10 years, running Creative Adventures Ltd.

In partnership with The Big Idea Trust, designed and facilitated the New Space Programme. This provided 9 months of support for participants to create financial sustainability through developing both entrepreneurial thinking and practical business skills. The programme ran for 7 years and 270 people had their careers and business's accelerated through it.

I am a Transformational coach and have expertise in directing times of transition and change towards opportunity and an uplifted experience of life. I walk my own talk and love to explore metaphysics and how this applies practically to everyday life. I have been teaching the principles that have taken the world by storm in "The Secret" for the last 19 years.

Over the last ten years I have worked with over 370 people, with enterprising ideas, to develop meaningful careers and micro enterprise business's, combining what they love with sustainability and profit.

Presently contributing to:

I have written a guide book for supporting people in making change in their lives. The reader is taken on a transformational journey using the principles of creating to move from their current reality to their reality of choice. As this journey takes place the reader is motivated into action and practical and tangible outcomes are achieved.

I originally trained and worked as a Registered Nurse for 15 years and for the last 19 years have worked predominately in coaching and group facilitation roles.
