Let's Connect

Instagram is kind of my thing 😀

Be like Luna, when she sees a puddle (opportunity) Be like Luna, when she sees a puddle (opportunity), she goes for it!
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗹 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵𝘀 — 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗯𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗹𝘆.

Every vision starts with clarity, and every next step gets easier when you know what you’re naturally best at.
That’s why I coach individuals and businesses to uncover, understand, and live their strengths.

If you’re ready to move from where you are to where you dream to be — let’s connect.
Your future is calling… what will your answer be?

Entrepreneurship has always been one of my favourite things — not just building businesses, but growing the people behind them.

Last night I attended “𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗔’𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗽𝘀” in Stellenbosch, hosted by @theopenletterza at @theworkshack . The main speaker, Malan Joubert, shared how FireID has been part of creating some incredible companies — @snapscanapp, @luno_global, @offerzen and more. His journey was filled with both remarkable successes and valuable failures.

One of my key takeaways?
💡 𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗮.
Whether it’s location, market needs, technology adoption, timing, luck, or connections — the journey rarely looks like the plan.

After the talk, we had the chance to “Choose Your Journey.” I chose to play the FinMaster financial education game (and had so much fun while learning!). It was great to also connect again with Elijah Djan one of the creators of @play_finmaster.

Afterwards, we enjoyed snacks, drinks, and live music — a perfect blend of learning, connection, and inspiration.

As a @cliftonstrengths 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 who also works with entrepreneurs through 𝗚𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘂𝗽’𝘀 𝗕𝗣𝟭𝟬, I love seeing how adaptability, problem-solving, and the right partnerships can change the trajectory of a business. These are exactly the kinds of strengths I help teams uncover and harness.

Here’s to building, evolving, and growing — both businesses and the people who run them.
