Larrie Winzar
Larrie Winzar was born in Perth and moved to Bendigo, Victoria in 1972, for love, aged 21, where she married, lived and worked for the next 46 years. As well as her family of origin in Perth, Larrie's family also comprises her son, his wife and her granddaughter, along with her late husband's family in Bendigo. As a widow, Larrie moved to Point Lonsdale in 2017. She has a wide circle of friends on the Bellarine, Central Victoria, Melbourne, Perth and overseas.
Always community minded from childhood, Larrie continued her community involvement in Bendigo and now in Point Lonsdale. Larrie has been a member of Bendigo Rotary for 31 years including two terms as President and one term as Assistant Governor. Always a creative leader, she has been instrumental in a number of initiatives including "Starthrower" - a program of women supporting women following natural disasters. This project continues. Larrie was also a charter member of Zonta Bendigo and enjoyed 20 years as a very active member.
Professionally, Larrie Winzar initially enjoyed many administration/PA roles travelling throughout Australia before embarking on a vocation in her own businesses in Recruitment, followed by Career Coaching which expanded to Life Coaching and Protirement. Larrie's business consultancy is called 'Follow Your Bliss'; hence the name of her first book 'Bliss'.
Larrie has been a professional coach for 35 years, working with thousands of clients individually and in corporate and small businesses. Larrie is one of the most experienced coaches in Australia.
Because coaching qualifications were non-existent when Larrie commenced coaching, her globally recognised coaching qualifications were completed when she was well established as a Career & Life Coach.
Larrie enjoys being a member of Seaside Scribes in Queenscliff, continues as an active member of Bendigo Rotary, loves her life on the coast, continues coaching in Protirement and is very engaged with the local community. Larrie also enjoys hosting guests, writing, reading and current affairs.
