I am Claire and I am a global leadership, business and life coach. I am based in Cape Town, South Africa. My journey of self-discovery has brought me to coaching. Dissatisfied with how my life looked and how I felt about it I re-trained to become an Integral Coach leaving behind my career in marketing and publishing to live happier and healthier.
I believe we all do our best with the resources available to us. Coaching has brought about changes within me and for me and I believe it is my work to have impact on others. I coach in order to learn more about other people and myself. I create a safe place for you to explore and opening up your thinking.
I am an International Coaching Federation (ICF) Professional Certified Coach (PCC). ICF Credential-holders are part of a self-regulating group of elite coaches who provide accountability to clients and the coaching profession as a whole. We pursue and complete rigorous education and practice requirements that provide unquestioned legitimacy to our commitment to excellence in coaching. The ICF Code of Ethics is designed to provide appropriate guidelines, accountability and enforceable standards of conduct for all ICF Members and ICF Credential-holders.
I have a special interest in coaching young adults; assisting them to develop career plans, maintain healthy habits and navigate relationships. They face different challenges to their parents’ generation. Sometimes they need an understanding adult who can be objective and get to the core of what they really really want.
My motto: Be Brave with Your Life.
