 I
come to coaching from a background in Human Resources, specifically
Recruitment, Selection and Assessments. I've worked in advisory
and management capacities in large corporations, and my
disillusionment with corporate life eventually led me to
abandon the gains of industry for the allure of travel.
With little more than a backpack, a shrinking budget, insatiable
wanderlust, and my saxophone to accompany me, I left South
Africa for London, arguably the traveler's paradise.
After a few months exploring foreign cultures, I settled
in London. My work assignments ranged from latte making
and managing in my local Starbucks, to recruiting executive
managers for a leading e-HR company. During these adventures
I discovered coaching and avidly researched the profession,
all the while recognising that my professional interest,
personal skills, and natural ability had found its "home."
Coaching is the profession I was born to do. I have no doubt.
My research into coaching led to me CoachU and after interviewing
a couple of coaches, and enlisting her services, I signed
up for the CTP. The ease of the teleclass scheduling as
well as the incredible wealth of information and quality
people in the CoachU community makes the CTP a lifelong
learner's dream. After more than 2 years of living as an
expatriate in London, I recently returned to my home city
of Cape Town. The tropical climate and laid-back lifestyle
is the perfect environment for my intrepid spirit. The transition
of my coaching practice to the South African market is my
current focus and I am already experiencing client interest
after one week! I credit CoachU for harnessing my mission
to influence my world by colliding with destiny!
