INVESTING IN PEOPLE. INSPIRING YOUR TEAM. DELIVERING RESULTS

Build and then execute on your unique A-game

Through the lockdown experience I continually asked the question, “what is the most relevant and pressing need for organisations and their employees?”

This search led to the ‘Find your A-game’ Personal Mastery series. It’s newly designed, and based on my best work from over two decades of coaching some of the worlds’ best athletes and teams. I share the seven-part A-game framework which draws from the best successes and most painful failures, and focuses on both the person and their performance. The virtual talk and online series is practical, inspiring and relevant to this time and for almost everybody!

The past four months has been one of the toughest times for me personally and professionally, and from it I believe I have produced my best work yet. Clients experience and feedback is confirming this.

Hope Lives

Last night I found myself wondering the streets and dark corners of Hout Bay, the suburb where I live, in defiance of South Africa’s 10pm curfew, and with an elevated heart rate pumping both fear and pride through my veins.
