Roepingstijd verkent hoe toekomstsignalen uit onze jeugd—zoals inspirerende docenten of onverwachte ervaringen—onze loopbaankeuzes beïnvloeden. Ontdek hoe terugblikken kan helpen om je ware roeping te vinden. 🔍✨

Have your cake and eat it

We had our cake ... and we ate it! at my first open house. 12 business women + Werner's delicious menu + Lindi's Bonnievale Wine + a little stoking of the fire ... just the recipe for connecting and building relationships through shared experiences. I'm looking forward to the next one!

Unity for Africa Foundation
iGems Programme

On 5 March I had the pleasure of presenting one in a series of work-readiness workshops to these 2020 matriculants, now engineering students in phase 2 of the Unity for Africa Foundation’s iGems programme. We worked through practical steps to develop positive, objective self-knowledge to foster insight and skill in managing their careers. They responded with such confident and enthusiastic presentations (as you’ll see in the photos), it was a truly happy day for this educator. A big thank you to Berenice and Babalo from the #UnityInAfricaFoundation for creating this great opportunity.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

I would recommend this book to anybody between the ages of 18-100. The author has used a lifetime of coaching experience on the pages. Read it in one sitting.
