Throughout my rich and diverse career, I have centered on fostering human connections. My mission is to help people reconnect with their minds, hands, and hearts through transformative learning experiences, and more importantly, with each other.
The artwork in my office pays tribute to the non-human influences in my life, such as animals and nature, and embodies what I cherish most: cooking for loved ones in my kitchen, surrounded by my pets, and enjoying the view of my beautiful garden in Johannesburg.
I believe that we are all part of an ecosystem, influenced by our surroundings, and often gain the most profound insights from voices that are not typically heard in the room. This perspective drives my approach to leadership and learning.
This blog is a journal of the insights I have gathered as a designer and facilitator of development journeys for people-first organizations who are committed to improving the workplace and unlocking abundance.

As artist Ai Wei Wei wisely said, “All ideas are built on other ideas.”
I look forward to hearing from you.
