LEADERSHIP & TEAM COACH · ICF ACCREDITED · JOHANNESBURG

Every leadership challenge is downstream of you.

I help leaders trace it back to the source — and lead from there instead. Not through frameworks or formulas. Through honest conversation, precise questions, and the kind of thinking that only happens when someone's fully in your corner.

I spent 15 years inside high-performance agency environments before I started coaching. I know what the pressure feels like from the inside — not just from the outside looking in.

The Story

Fifteen years coaching before it was called coaching.

That background is what makes this different.

I spent 15 years building and leading high-performance teams at some of the world's most recognised agencies — including as Managing Partner at Publicis Groupe. My world was fast-paced, high-stakes, and built entirely on the performance of people.

What I learned wasn't just how to run a department. It was how teams actually work — the invisible dynamics that accelerate or undermine performance. Trust. Communication. How people show up under pressure versus when things feel easy.

"That experience didn't just inform my coaching — it is my coaching. I bring 15 years of real leadership into every conversation, not theory borrowed from a textbook."

Today I work with leaders and their teams across industries — helping them perform at their best when growth, pressure, and change demand it most.

Who I Work With

If any of this sounds like you, we should probably talk.

I work with leaders at real inflection points — not just people who want to polish what's already working.

The Growing Leader

Promoted into a bigger role faster than your structures have kept up. The old approach isn't cutting it — and you know it.

The High-Performer

Succeeding on paper but privately recalibrating. You want a thinking partner who has been inside the pressure, not just studied it.

The Incoming Leader

Stepping into a new role and want to lead from clarity, not reaction. A strong start built on a strong foundation.

The Organisation

Your team is capable but something's breaking down — in trust, communication, or alignment. You need someone who works at that layer.

How I Help

Three ways to work with Source™.

Each engagement applies the Source™ methodology to your specific context — tracing leadership challenges back to their origin and building lasting change from there.

1:1 Executive Coaching

A structured 12-session engagement using the Source™ diagnostic to identify what's actually driving the challenge — and build leadership from that foundation.

Team Coaching & Facilitation

Source™ applied at team level — surfacing the dynamics beneath performance, trust, and communication breakdowns. Change that holds because it starts in the right place.

For Organisations →

Organisational Partnerships

For HR and L&D leaders who want an embedded partner. Source™-based development aligned to culture, aligned to commercial goals — not a generic curriculum.

Diagnostic Tool

The Enneagram: a lens for finding the source with precision.

The Source™ methodology uses a range of diagnostic approaches. The Enneagram is one of the most powerful — not because it labels people, but because it maps the deep patterns that drive how leaders show up under pressure.

I'm an iEQ9-certified practitioner. Used within Source™ coaching, it helps leaders see the patterns beneath the patterns — and understand why certain challenges keep recurring.
