Empowering individuals and teams to discover their leadership  fingerprint and inspire growth.

Oh! We are still reeling!! It’s going to be institutionalized from our side – Helen the students are still talking about how we changed their paradigm – it’s what it means to do this. We are thankful and grateful to you.

I wanted to write a special mail to say how wonderful my experience with you as coach was. I remember your words of advice, and my own discoveries every day, and I really feel that your coaching has impacted my life in such a positive way. Thank you so much.

Working with Helen is an amazing experience. She has helped me change things about myself and how I interact with others to achieve my career goals. While everyone’s journey is unique, Helen’s greatest strength is her ability to help you unravel and define that journey.
I am so grateful to have met her and to continue having her as a coach and mentor.

Helen was excellent at helping me surface issues… Her techniques offered good ways to address these and, with practice, change behavior. Helen is a good listener, which was tested to the limit as I regularly include far more information than is required and tend to connect many subjects together. I have found that following my time with Helen, I am able to focus, be more concise and to listen for what is expected of me. I will continue with the exercises we identified and are confident that I am on a good path to maintain more effective behavior to achieve my goals.

Thank you for navigating and being part of this journey with me. You constantly required me to ask the difficult questions of myself which was incredibly healing.

Thank you for your valuable gift to us; it will be a trigger for personal and interpersonal growth. You handled the session very professionally and sensitively, have a deep understanding of the Enneagram, giving many real examples, always allowing us to share and involve ourselves. The report is useful for reflection and growth going forward.

As part of the Markham leadership team, we had a great professional experience working with Helen on both team and individual mentor and mentee engagement sessions.  Markham is part of a larger corporate organisation (TFG), and we rely on the expertise of consultants like Helen to support us to grow our leadership pipeline. This particular project focused on developing a few teams to enhance their team dynamics. The value added was immense and we look forward to TFG working with Helen in the future.

Head of HR, Markhams

Gaining insight into the overall team profile and how that could be perceived by our stakeholders was extremely valuable. It highlighted a blind spot that we were potentially not aware of as well as simple changes we could introduce to address this. I particularly enjoyed the manner in which Helen facilitated the session and the way she brought in the quieter voices.

Head of Product Development, Direct Axis

I wanted to write a short note to express my appreciation for all the work you did with the Markham team. Your insight is truly valued and we will do our utmost to
adhere to the process you laid out for us.

 Helen’s coaching and facilitation enable transformative growth for individuals and teams to become more effective and cohesive. What makes a difference is Helen’s ability to create a space of trust where people feel comfortable to share openly and honestly. Working with Helen I have greater self-awareness and understanding of how my team members react and handle situations. Helen will take your team on a journey that explores your individual and team Enneagram profile, quality of relationships, communication styles and triggers – and as a result, the quality of team relationships grow and communication improves. I would highly recommend other leaders invest the time and resources into their teams. The impact of Helen’s workshops is felt both personally and professionally and in my experience is often a highlight team members refer back to.

Director, Product Innovation, GVI

Through Helen’s coaching, help and guidance, I could recognize in both my personal and professional life how I could improve myself as a leader. This is also true for the wider Sunglass Hut South Africa leadership community, who have been fortunate to work with Helen throughout several years. Helen’s helped many leaders identify blind spots, ways to lift their teams and identify skills they did not know they had – all leading to increased motivation and better results.

Through the use of the Enneagram, we understand each other better and know what makes colleagues “tick”. It’s helped me and my leaders to unlock very powerful thoughts into how we each show up and are being perceived by others. The tool brings an especially strong bond to teams, where I’ve noticed more patience, respect and collaboration.

I would highly recommend Helen: she is a careful listener, incredibly effective in helping you identify what is really important, alongside an innate ability to help you stay focussed on what is important to yourself and those around you.
