Donna Portland currently lives in Sydney Australia. She is a Master NLP coach and hypnotherapist and works as a Success Coach, helping her clients to reach their aspirations and dreams to achieve their success – whatever that means to them. NLP coaching and hypnotherapy, gave more practical application to the psychology that Donna studied at university many years previously, and gets faster results!
Donna had an ‘awakening’ some years ago and began a fabulous journey towards finding meaning in her life. She managed to get clear on the strategies she needed to adopt to reach her goals and take her life to the next level.
Donna started her professional life at a nurse and from there pursued a career in the hospitality industry, whilst attending university to study psychology.
Keen to travel the world she found the superyacht industry in Europe and worked abroad for 7 years on luxury yachts providing elite level service to the top 0.1% of the world’s wealthiest clientele.
After marrying and moving home to Sydney to start a family Donna started a training and recruitment company for the superyacht industry and worked for over a decade giving training and seminars and professional coaching in the superyacht industry.
In 2016 she co-won the award for Superyacht Industry Champion, having won “Business of the Year” the previous year. Donna’s understanding of human nature and communication skills held her in good stead for success in the human resources field, and she has mentored her staff to become proficient at their craft and her clientele to raise their professional standards.
At the end of 2017 Donna had an epiphany. She came to a conscious realisation that she’d been living unconsciously for many years. Life had stagnated and she knew that she was unhappy and unfulfilled, yet it had seemed easier to deny the reality and just carry on, vaguely hoping for change. After Donna had reached the point where her pain was too great to leave things as they were, she was finally able to admit to herself that she had allowed her life to spiral down and her marriage had ended. Donna decided then and there to summon the courage to step away from her misery, let go of fear and move towards a positive and satisfying life.
It was an interesting journey with hard yards and myriad learnings and Donna felt motivated to write a book “Positive Habits Get Results” to assist others to reach their goals towards a successful life on their terms.
The book is primarily about progressing your life. It’s about making positive changes that get great results and last! The book catalogs Donna’s journey towards regaining her energy, health and vitality, and also her positive attitude, love and life purpose.
To quote a common phrase: ‘It’s not rocket science’, the message and advice is to make viable plans, take actionable steps – one after the other - and build on your success! It’s very ‘do-able’ for anyone committed to making the most of the rest of their life.
