I believe that experience teach, leads and guide and has always been aware that every step of my road is another opportunity to either gain knowledge and experience or an opportunity to coach those I meet along the way.

Over and above my 40 odd years in business and my business related university degrees I pride myself that my biggest achievements has always been the ability to transfer skills and experiences - formally (seminars/speaking opportunities) or informal (one-on-one as mentor and/or as coach). I am 61 years young!

I have worked in finance, commerce and human resource fields - in medium and corporate (also parastatals) companies and consulted in 4 continents (US, Europe, Africa, China) in wide and diverse fields.

I am also a ex high school (secondary) teacher.

I am an NBI (Neethling Brain Instrument) Whole Brain Preference Thinking Practitioner, a Professional Life Coach and a professionally qualified sport coach which allow me the flexibility in the area of motivational speaking.

I am also a qualified Public Speaker ( schooled by Andy Harrington's team)

Also been involved with Rotary - in particular Youth Exchange program and was awarded a Paul Harris Fellowship

From a very early age people facinated me, why some achieve their goals and others don't. The fact that not money or status, but experience differentiated them from others. This interest lead me to become a teacher and a sports coach. I have found that the attention given to individuals, enables them to free the potential from within them, allowing them to perfom beyond their own expectations.

Because of my ever expanding interests and real life experiences, I have learned that we are born unique and we are forced by our environment/education/economies to conform to norms created by others (whoever they may be/have been). Our uniqueness, therefore, need to be brought to the fore so that you can be entrusted to be yourself, whoever you want to be and not what you have to be. That is freedom .... that is life and that should be your parth and your future.

My vision and my passion centres around you and you alone (and next a group of individuals: a company/entity/group), but the starting point is the unique you. Unleashing your potential and giving it wings is both my challenge and my reason for getting up in the morning! Instilling the trust, the belief (yours and mine) and expanding your horisons is my dream: to create Beyonder thinking achievers!
