Our Passion is Helping People Grow.

We Believe.

We believe that good leadership is the foundation of good business. 

And that good business is the foundation of a better world. 

Our Values.

We believe that leadership is entering a new era. It works better when it is authentic, collaborative and empowering, inclusive and sustainable. We’ve incorporated these values into our business model to help us stay accountable to live them. Because we recognise that many people and organisations we are still shaking off old leadership models and frameworks that no longer serve business, humanity or the earth. 

Meet Our Founder,

For over 20 years, my focus has been working with people to unlock their potential in personal and business contexts.  

Beyond my work in coaching, training, and facilitation, I am a systems thinker, with a degree in environmental science (social policy and development), professional experience in community engagement and event management. 

As a coach, I am certified with the International Coaching Federation (ICF, ACC) and hold a Graduate Diploma in Organisational Coaching. 

 

My coaching approach is to facilitate deeper self awareness through powerful questioning, appreciative inquiry and mindfulness, alongside assessment and profiling tools such as the Global Leadership Assessment (360) and The Enneagram.

olution-focused and systemic. And I have trained in 360 Assessments including – Global Leadership and Integral Leadership, Personality Profiles including The Enneagram, and 

I helpsleaders develop emotional intelligence and leadership presence, and draw on communication frameworks such as NLP, NVC and SBI to help leaders build relational intelligence. 

I helps leaders deepen strategic and organisational awareness 
for navigating complexity and change, using system-mapping tools and change frameworks.

On a personal level, I have experienced both successes and failures as a leader, and believe in embracing both for the learning opportunity they bring. 

I’m passionate about serving leaders because I know that when we get things right within and around us, the ripple effects can be long and lasting.

So, if you’re a leader who wants to strengthen your presence, deepen your impact and make a difference, I’d like to connect with you.

What Our Clients Say...

Yollana, I have such a huge, deeply heart-full thank you to you, for walking with me to places I didn't know I was going and had no way to believe I could be. As much as I hope to be able to offer this kind of support to others people, without experiencing it from you, I wouldn't have had a place to begin.​
