Over 25 years’ of experience applied to advance women’s rights and gender equality.
Life is to be lived not endured. If you are struggling to reach your goals; feel stuck and despondent; or need support to act on your immediate or long term goals, then you have landed in the right place.
As a professional, I have capitalised on 30 years investment in professionalism and knowledge in gender, women’s rights, non-profit development and strategy. Now, my journey is one of integration – of identities, of ways and modes of working, of a coaching and a consulting way of being, and leveraging both in an integrated way for the benefit of my clients. My vision is to bring a transformative impact on women’s lives and to advance social justice. I see my work as board leader, coach and consultant as interlocking parts of one way of working which tap deep into my purpose and where all my knowledge, skill and experience come together in one moment. Each of those moments deepened my own process of integration. In deepening my own integration, I am able to tap into uncertainty, hold possibility and ambiguity for longer allowing me to lean into possibilities, and the probability of more creative solutions to the challenges at hand.
In my 20 years plus as a consultant, executive and board member, I have developed a clear sense of how to deliver client value in a mutually reinforcing way because I focus on doing the kind of work that advances my purpose and passion. My approach is founded on care and empowerment which is evidenced in the quality of my work, Feedback from my clients has been powerfully aligned to how they value me for this. I continue to develop a clearer perspective on how the different parts of my business and practice (coaching, strategy work, thought leadership) emanate from my core purpose (enabling a better world for women to achieve their ambitions and desires).
My work helps both individuals and organisations develop strategies that lead to transformation by:
- Establishing a view on the current situation (through assessment, research, audits, analysis).
- Clarifying an energising vision of the future.
- Building the awareness, capabilities, systems and processes that allow for systematic movement from the current moment towards the future vision (through coaching, mentoring and / or strategic process work).
I work with national, regional and international clients with multi-million budgets who seek to build a better world. I also work with individual women who want to claim their place in the world. Through my experience, built in South Africa, Africa and the United Kingdom, I have developed the knowledge, skills and capabilities to design and implement appropriate and lasting solutions.
Passion met Purpose
My Coaching, Consulting and Thought Leadership offerings are an expression of my experience and what I want to bring to the world – furthering social justice and enabling women to live and lead their lives with courage and joy. The work that I love is the work that integrates all these parts of myself, in a manner that allows me to build meaningful partnerships and have a transformative impact on my clients.
