About

I’m a Master Credentialed Coach and Integrative Behavioural Strategist, blending behavioural science and neuroscience with personality and leadership models. With over 30 years of experience in coaching, consulting, and entrepreneurship, I empower individuals and teams as a Transformational, Executive, and Team Coach. Coaching Experience and Approach As a Transformational, Executive, and Team Coach, I consult, facilitate, and train in areas such as Strategy, Wellbeing, Change Management, Leadership Alignment, Leadership Maturity, and Organizational Resilience. I work with clients across South Africa, the broader African continent, the US, UK, Scandinavia, and Europe. I also serve on international coaching panels and collaborate with universities and business schools. My approach is warm, empathetic, and practical. I create trusted spaces where individuals and teams can explore challenges and unlock new possibilities. Clients often describe me as relational, authentic, and energizing—able to guide meaningful progress through coaching that’s tailored to each person’s unique thinking and decision-making style. As a neurodivergent thinker, I bring my full, authentic self to every engagement and invite others to do the same. I act as a soundboard, thinking partner, and guide through complexity and change. My coaching expertise includes: First 100 Days & Transition Planning Team Alignment & Reintegration Grief, Loss & Bereavement Life Transition and Retirement Coaching High-Performance Team Building Business School Lecturing & Masterclasses Motivational Speaking I live in a beautiful coastal forest village on the border of KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape, where I enjoy hiking and nature-based activities. I consider myself an adventurer—always up for a challenge that stretches my resilience and courage. Among other things, I’ve skydived, cycled a few 100km races including the Argus and 94.7 (solo and as a tandem rider), fire-walked, and completed a 5-day solo vision quest in the Cederberg Mountains with just a tarp, sleeping bag, and a small change of clothes!
