HR Professional. Coach. Facilitator.
I spent many years in corporate HR before starting my own business. Over the past 16+ years, I’ve worked across South Africa and the African continent to help people lead better, manage more effectively, and show up with more impact at work. I have also supported organisations through retrenchments – equipping managers, guiding affected employees, and supporting those who remain behind navigate change. I also provide talks to organisations to assist managers and their teams spot burnout early and build healthier, more sustainable ways of working.
Whether I’m supporting a team in Johannesburg or Tanzania, or working with a leader in Somalia or Zimbabwe, I understand what it takes to navigate leadership, visibility and workplace pressure in complex environments.
Before going out on my own, I worked as an Organisational Health Consultant for a global brewing company. I helped shape and roll out the company’s wellbeing strategy across different business units – working closely with leaders, HR and frontline teams to build healthier, more resilient workplaces. That experience taught me what really matters on the ground – and what actually works in large, fast-paced organisations.
And I know what it’s like to be…
- The reliable one – the fixer, the quiet doer who always says yes and keeps things running, often without thanks.
- The one who ticks all the boxes but still feels overlooked, burnt out and stuck.
- Afraid to want more – or to say so out loud.
- Tired of trying to figure it all out alone.
And now I know…
- It doesn’t have to stay this hard.
- Saying no is a complete sentence.
- You often have more options than you think – you just haven’t seen them yet.
- Small, focused steps can shift everything.
- The right support can help you see things clearly and make changes you didn’t think were possible.
- Leadership doesn’t start with a title – it starts from the inside out.
- Always fixing, pleasing, and perfecting doesn’t get you ahead – it wears you down.
