ABOUT ME
I have an MA in Counselling & College Student Personnel Administration (Student Affairs) and have worked in senior management roles in university Student Affairs and Public Benefit Organisations (sometimes called NGOs or non-profits) for 40 years. Some significant work experience includes leadership training and development, supervising large teams, facilitating Transformation processes and Organisational Development, starting and running a research consultancy and an export business, and coaching men's basketball teams at university and high school levels. Integral coaching with individuals began in 2018 after participating in the UCT GSB Centre for Coaching (CfC) ACC course, and then strengthening my conceptual tools and experience via the CfC Professional Coaching Course in 2022-2023.

On 25 August 2023 the UCT Graduate School of Business
(GSB) Executive Education team did a one day Artist’s Way
workshop with the theme ‘Authenticity and Teamwork in a
time of Transition and Change.’ Using a range of exercises
from the Artist’s Way and leadership development, we had
a fun, creative and productive session that culminated in
the production of this collage to capture the essence of
the day’s work. Jodie Martin, Head: Executive Education,
and his team were very pleased with the day and the
outcomes.

Wild Imagination: Insights from Nature and the Unconscious via the 27 Subtypes of the Enneagram according to the animal kingdom and SoulCollage®
Come and learn more about the Enneagram subtypes through the lens of the animal kingdom and apply this learning to create an image through expressive art. We then enter into a guided conversation with the images we have created as a learning dialogue. Co-facilitated with Lucille Greeff of Aephoria on Friday, 30 August 2024 at Erin Hall in Rondebosch. Lucille works with the Kruger Park Rangers, who taught her much about an animal kingdom take on the Enneagram. Brochure and registration details for future Wild Imagination workshop will be available soon. [REMOVE click here.]
