I am an entrepreneur and have been a successful and respected business owner for more than two decades.
I hold a master’s degree in environmental science and have gained three decades of experience in the environmental field, more than two decades of which was as co-owner and founder of one of the leading air quality services companies in South Africa. I have been published and have co-authored several scientific papers and articles in the industry in various journals and conferences.
As a Director and CEO, my key responsibilities were business strategy, performance and culture. Over the years much experience, knowledge and insight was gained with regards to tackling employee engagement, performance, change management and growth challenges that arose.
The business started with one employee and was grown to a workforce of 50 employees managing muti-million-rand contracts for some of the biggest businesses in the power generation, petrochemical and construction industries.
Utilising the latest in Neuroscience and applying it to the coaching paradigm, I help executives and business owners increase their self-awareness and improve their EQ exponentially resulting in maximizing returns on investment for all stakeholders.
I have developed a keen interest and passion for psychological safety and mental well-being in the workplace and believe that this is the biggest issue facing society and businesses at large with employees and managers facing record numbers of disengagement, burnout and demotivation.
Hence the birth of Hambonathi – the brand that has become synonymous with helping businesses of any size reach their full potential and meet their challenges head on with confidence and the tools to achieve their goals.
By employing the latest Neurocoaching models these issues can be addressed in an efficient cost-effective manner with real tangible returns on investment.
Neurocoaching is a blend of coaching practices and insights derived from neuroscience. It focuses on understanding how the brain influences behaviour, thoughts, and emotions. Neurocoaching uses this understanding to help individuals achieve their personal and professional goals.
