A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ME

My facilitation style: Energetic, relevant, honest, positively challenging, highly motivating.

What gets me out of bed in the morning: movement, a hot yoga session or a long run.

I get a real kick out of: Something that challenges me – laughter, lots and lots of laughter.

What I most look forward to when working with a new client: Finding out exactly what they are struggling with and together design a process that we know will be amazing. And then seeing their reaction when their teams are performing. RETURN ON THEIR INVESTMENT.

Outside of work, you’ll find me: Scuba diving, scaling boulders, hiking, trying to surf in Cape Town waters, playing with my twins, spending time with friends and enjoying amazing red wines, mostly, spending time on our coastal farm diving and enjoying nature.

My dream client: Strong belief that people development is not a side project but a strategic pillar to their business, Eager to learn with their team members, open to new ideas, hungry to elevate their game, has a good coffee shop nearby!

The number one thing I’ve learnt as a facilitator: Dig deeper than the surface even though it’s scary and tough, that is where the growth lies, use curiosity to find the crux of issues, and there is always something that can be done.
