My Story
Upon leaving high school, I studied Organisational Psychology and Psychology at the University of Cape Town, before spending a few years travelling and exploring the globe.
On my return to Cape Town, I entered the tourism and hospitality sector with the goal of more travel and introducing people to the wonders of Cape Town and the rest of South Africa.
After a few years, I realised that my true passion was in personal and professional development. In 2013, I studied Integral Coaching at the Centre for Coaching at the UCT Graduate School of Business and built on this qualification with additional Enneagram and Neuro-linguistic Programming courses.
While studying further and working in the world of leadership development, I volunteered at TEDxCapeTown. Here, I supported many speakers in preparing for their talks, mentored team members and helped curate the event on a number of occasions. Ultimately, I delivered my own TEDx talk, speaking about the magic of the TEDx community.
A core belief I hold is that every person has the right to be heard, and has the right to make their own choices. TEDx showed me a way to expand on that belief in my work, and when the chance came in late 2020 to start my own Speaking and Presentation Skills business, I jumped with both feet and became The Great Presentation Coach.
When I'm not working, you'll likely find me wondering somewhere beautiful with my magical pooch, Max, swimming in the ocean, reading a book or enjoying a chilled G&T with the people closest to me.
It’s been a privilege to work with these organisations
In my work with them, I have:
● Presented customised group workshops to help them deliver effective in-house presentations
● Empowered the sales team to speak with assurance, clarity, and influence
● Worked with anxious individuals and coached them to feel confident when speaking in front of any audience.
