Seen our careers develop and grow due to these sessions!
Sharon has partnered with Atlas Copco Industrial South Africa on several programmes over the years in both the Diversity & Inclusion space and coaching and development of many of our staff and leaders. All the staff coached by Sharon have benefitted from the sessions and so many of us have seen our careers develop and grow, in no small part due to the work done in these coaching sessions. Sharon is an incredible facilitator and extremely knowledgeable coach. I would recommend her to any organisation who are serious about investing in the development of their people.

What is NLP and how it is applied to our coaching?
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a behavioural science for improving your personal performance and enables you to be your best more often. Focusing on the underlying structure of human behaviour, NLP helps you to understand why you behave the way they do, how you absorb information, how you deal with it and how you act on it. It is both a communication process and a set of tools that enables you to influence, communicate and respond effectively so you can empower every aspect of your life.
Using NLP skills, you can rapidly improve the results you get and positively influence your relationship with yourself and others. Sharon’s coaching methodology combines solution focused coaching and NLP techniques to create a unique coaching experience that supports both individuals, teams and organisations.

Exceeded all expectations: 10/10!
This development programme exceeded all expectations. From workshop presentation style, to Sharon’s coaching expertise, to quality feedback, to ability to provide support knowledge for problems I was facing, to relevance… I’d rate everything 10 out of 10. Discovering my potential and getting unstuck was the best thing about this programme. And if this feedback sounds like I am brownnosing, I’m not, it really was that good. I now have the confidence to go out and make a difference – watch this space!
Goes beyond the workplace!
What I like about being coached by Sharon is that her coaching goes beyond the workplace. It is a holistic programme that helps one with all aspects of your life. She does it so effortlessly and professional without trying to force you to speak, talking to her is so easy and it doesn’t even feel like you are talking to someone you’ve just met. The outcomes have been invaluable for me.
Sharon is the ultimate professional!
Sharon is the ultimate professional. She speaks with passion and is easy to listen to. Her knowledge on leadership, emotional intelligence and coaching is invaluable. I would recommend Sharon to any corporate looking to build their company culture as well as their leadership team.
How do sessions work?
Resuscitated dormant leadership qualities and forgotten dreams!
When I made the decision to meet with Dr Sharon for a Personal and Professional Coaching session, I did not realise that the choice I had made would resuscitate the dormant leadership qualities and the forgotten dreams I had put aside for a long time. Although I am still the same person in many aspects, I have revived my self-confidence, my sharp perception and resilience, which have been my pillars many a day. It took Dr Sharon’s encouraging words to trigger the dormancy of those strengths. Sometimes we just need someone to remind us that we have what we need to face the unforeseen challenges in this wonderful journey we call life. Dr Sharon demonstrated a genuine interest and desire in assisting me in getting “my groove back”. She is intuitive, curious and holds herself to exceptionally high personal standards.

FAQS

HOW DO YOU COACH? VIRTUAL or IN-PERSON?
Coaching can be done virtually or in-person. Please chat to us about your specific needs and we will be happy to recommend the best format for optimal results.
DO I HAVE TO UNDERTAKE THE COACHING JOURNEY THROUGH MY ORGANISATION?
No, you can coach privately. Sharon has a significant number of private global clients.
HOW IS COACHING DIFFERENT TO THERAPY AND COUNSELLING?
Counselling and therapy are to remedy the client’s problems. The client comes to therapy or counselling because they feel dissatisfied with their life and want relief from psychological distress and/or physical symptoms. They want to work through their pain or discomfort rather than move towards desired goals. Therapy and counselling often seek to understand the past and what went wrong in order to be better in the present. Coaching focuses on the present and future. Sharon often works with clients who have a great life and career, but wants to stretch and grow further in specific areas.
WHAT IS THE OBJECTIVE OF A COACHING ENGAGEMENT?
The objective is to focus on your potential (your unrealised ability, capacity or possibility) by leveraging your strengths, uncovering what’s in your way and targeting the areas you are most interested in addressing to help you reach your goals more effectively.
CAN I CHANGE THROUGH COACHING?
Yes, you can. We’ve seen many clients change in powerful ways. And they’ve likely had ambitions, goals, concerns and challenges that are similar to yours. Coaching can be the catalyst to profoundly shift the trajectory of your life, enabling you to change the quality of your life and the direction of your career in ways you never dreamed of.
WHAT ABOUT CONFIDENTIALITY?
What happens in our sessions, stays in our sessions. We fully understand the value of your trust, and we take every precaution to safeguard it. Any feedback the organisation requires will be delivered with the coachee present.
HOW LONG DOES THE COACHING PROCESS TAKE?
The time frame can vary greatly and depends on a wide range of factors: your goal(s), your commitment and openness to change, your capacity for introspection, your circumstances, how quickly and thoughtfully you complete homework assignments, and other unique factors. We have individuals who come in for a very brief engagement and we have others who come in focused on one goal, achieve that goal, and begin work on another goal and then another.
WHAT ARE THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR BOOKINGS, CANCELLATIONS AND PAYMENT?
