Understanding the impact of racial dynamics is essential for effective coaching especially in the South African context where coaching is fast becoming a preferred approach to individual empowerment and organisational transformation.

After 35 years of coaching folks of all shapes and sizes, this I know for sure: Every single belief, perception, thought, assumption or paradigm that does not point in the direction of the results you want is a limiting belief!

Most of what we think and do is locked in place by explanations based on past experience and justify long-held points of view.

Change and metamorphosis occurs in stages, so the idea is to start from where you are and with what you have.

It’s imperative that the profession of coaching has a coherent and explicit understanding of how change happens and how we support and leverage continuous change at the intersection of development.

I’ve come to realize that it’s important to examine what I feel inside when I say a clear ‘no’.

Most coaching and conversation about NO has been much too superficial; useful perhaps, for a specific result, but far from a permanent shift in how we are in our everyday world.

Saying "no" can mean an opportunity is as big as you want it to be with you in the driver's seat. You let things happen to you because you let them happen.
