Coaching & facilitation

We provide coaching and facilitation for individuals and teams, including senior management teams.

INDIVIDUAL COACHING

Individual coaching contributes to strengthening the client’s toolbox of coping and thriving strategies, better equipping people to show up more fully to themselves, their families, friends and in the workspace. Our role is to build resilience, communication and relationship skills that improve navigating life’s uncertainties, professional roles and the complexities of relationships.

Group and team coaching

Group and team coaching is highly effective for both individuals and organisations. Group coaching creates a rich dynamic space for sharing and reflection as well as an opportunity to practice new skills in a safe, non-judgemental environment. Group and team coaching can help address underlying obstacles or dynamics impeding progress within an organisation.

Complex conversations

We utilise process work, U-theory, Organisation Relationship Systems Coaching (ORSC) and other facilitation skills to give people the opportunity to express and release emotions, hear other voices, and glean wisdom and new insights. These dialogues can surface hidden or unspoken obstacles within communities, organisations and companies and can create an environment for more collaborative solutions to emerge. We design and facilitate processes to support conflict management and to address diversity and inclusion within organisations.

Coaching is an ongoing relationship that helps you focus and realise your goals and vision through a creative, thought provoking and inspiring process. A professional coach supports you with the tools to remove obstacles, facilitate change and keep the big picture in mind. Coaching assists you to ensure that how you are spending your time – your daily practices and habits – serve and support your relationships, goals and vision.

Coaching focuses on skills development, strategic planning and personal growth. It improves the quality of life and relationships in the present.  It does not attempt to heal emotional trauma. Coaching can be effective in conjunction with therapy.

Individual coaching

'The coaching experience exceeded my expectations beyond what I ever thought possible... When we first met, I was expecting Jennifer to do a lot more talking and directing. She didn't and I found it a little bit disconcerting. However when I started talking and going further down the coaching process, I was amazed that I actually had the answers to my own questions and that she were merely being the wind in my sails and I was being the rudder.' Client in Cape Town, South Africa
'I have taken a lot of unexpected things from my coaching sessions with Jenny, being one of the most important ones the awareness of my own self and my own strength and value system... Jenny is an excellent coach.' Client in New York, USA

‘My coach really helped me gain awareness for what’s going right in my world. She helped me maintain a positive focus on the good and keep moving forward. Her acknowledgement and recognition of accomplishments and steps forward played a significant role in me seeing them as well. This helped my confidence immensely… Jennifer challenged me to think big picture, recognize my accomplishments, and find ways to meet my goals. I could not have asked for a better coach or better coaching.’ Client in San Diego, USA
