As a trained and certified Coach, with a background in Human Capital and Behaviour, I am able to inspire transformative impact in people’s lives through coaching and counselling. With a wealth of experience and skills gathered from multiple industries in areas of Human Capital, Psychological Assessment, Organizational Behaviour, Diversity and Mental Health, my approach to coaching borrows from scholastic and established schools of thought, in moving people forward.
The privilege of having worked in areas of People Management with different industries and cultures over 15 years has laid a solid foundation and appreciation of the profound impact of the quality of thinking that shapes the consequential emotional and behavioural spin-offs. I have worked with a diverse portfolio of clients as an Executive and Leadership Coach for almost 10 years and as a registered Psychologist both in Public and Private sectors, I have partnered and coached leaders and teams in raising self-awareness, team effectiveness and alignment, goal setting and achievement, transformation and transitioning, diversity management, etc.
My career has revolved around transforming lives through a deep understanding of human and organizational behavior. My coaching definition is premised on what I do now: “Coaching is a professional, thought-provoking and insightful partnership that seeks to raise the self-awareness of the person being coached through reflective self – engagement and thereby inspire transformative growth personally and professionally.”
