Veronica is an organizational and individual change facilitator, consultant and coach. She is an ICF PCC and coach mentor as well as a COMENSA (Coaching and Mentoring South Africa) Senior Practitioner and Registered Supervisor. With over 35 years of experience, she has worked with non-profit organizations involved in early childhood development through to aged seniors programs, international conservation, education, emerging entrepreneurs and social outreach. She believes in taking coaching to areas that were previously unable to access it, so helping to build a more equal society for the future. Veronica has over 35 years of experience in business consulting and change management in the UK, Europe and across Africa, working in diverse industries such as government, financial services, retail, education, healthcare and community /NGO. She added coaching to the mix over 10 years ago as she could see that many individuals and organizations struggled with change and needed the additional support that coaching brings. Having run her own businesses, she could understand the many requirements and challenges that leaders face. Her experience has led her to believe that as individuals we have many roles to play in our lives, both personal and professional, and we want to be the best version of ourselves in all of them, whilst staying true to our values. That insight underpins all of Veronica’s work with her clients, assisting them to adapt to their changing world while retaining their integrity. Veronica trained as an Integral Coach where the focus is on the individual and how they are in relationship to others and to the systems of which they are part, both personally and professionally. Veronica has also been devoting time and energy over the last ten years to working with non-profit organizations and communities to enable them to engage more effectively and strategically with their work and stakeholders. Veronica has facilitated focus groups, community building events and training programs for a variety of individuals and organizations that include teachers, emerging entrepreneurs, youths, health workers and professional organizations.

I am an experienced Integral Coach, the integral approach incorporates the heart, body and mind. I use this by pulling all the elements together to create new possibilities for my clients. I combine this with contemporary social neuroscience, this allows my clients to connect to their very best thinking and allow for real and sustainable changes. I am passionate about seeing others discover the potential which lies within themselves. My own life experience has allowed me to build onto my methodologies and allow me to offer my clients a unique coaching journey and allow for real actualization and sustainable results. Linked to this I have a very good grasp of organizational dynamics, and the challenges and opportunities faced by people. This means I can help them work skillfully by building relationships, positively affecting the environment, getting results for the business. For me coaching is about learning new ways of observing yourself and others in the world to create new possibilities to shift our way of being to become more resilient, resourceful, and creative. It is s something that I am passionate about and believe it is a vocation and not a job!

As Structure & Flow, I provide the trustful thinking partnership and open, reflective space for focused dialogue – a space to make sense of opportunities and dilemmas from different perspectives, to gain new insights and explore future possibilities. I support and challenge leaders, managers, teams and other professionals through coaching, training and facilitation as they try out new approaches and behaviors, questioning established structures, assumptions and ways of working. Maybe the task is reinvention or to shape a common purpose and set of values or to clarify a vision and direction moving forward. Or perhaps it’s to develop greater awareness through critical self-examination or the mindset and confidence to learn new skills. Other themes might include: driving change and shaping culture, building strong relationships and communication, working across cultures and diversity, developing and inspiring others, and building resourcefulness, resilience, self-care and personal effectiveness. My approach combines the structure of frameworks, processes, planning, boundaries and discipline, with the flow of improvisation, creativity, playful exploration, autonomy and fun. It is principle-led, holistic and adaptive. It involves seeing the systems and patterns in context and culture, integrating knowledge from various disciplines, and upholding high professional standards and ethical practice.

My purpose is to empower individuals and organizations to be a creative force -collaborating consciously and achieving meaningful outcomes. I am passionate about supporting leaders to practice creative behaviors with awareness, to become interpersonally intelligent, and consistently hold systemic awareness. I coach and design learning experiences, to support leaders and teams thrive, to create a space for deep reflection, and to build the energy for new action. My diverse industry and leadership experiences across 18 years (in three different industries-Media, Technology, Learning- in global organizations) helps me adapt swiftly to the uniqueness of the leader’s context. I have partnered with organizations across IT, ITES, Telecom, Manufacturing, Banking, Consulting, Pharma, Insurance, Capital goods, Research firms, among others. I have led several women leadership programs, focused on developing self-awareness, self-management, and honing the critical and practical skills required to be an empowered, choiceful, and successful leader in today’s VUCA world.

I have always been interested in people – who they are, what they do and why they do it. I am naturally open and am especially curious about cultures different from my own. For me, coaching offers the best combination of my skills and interests in a way that is constructive and useful for others. I believe we all have potential, and that coaching is a key enabler to activate this, irrespective of our role or the context for our work. Coaching enables personal insight, learning, clarity and authenticity and is an opportunity to pause before consciously re-engaging to reach our desired goals. Outcomes can include a clearer way forward, increased self- awareness and learning, and clarity on deeper purpose. I am constantly learning and my current focus is understanding the interplay between the individual and the systems they come from. Separately, I am studying how to work more somatically to enable better awareness of the whole self and as a lifelong animal lover, I am interested in animal facilitated learning and how horses may be part of the coaching process.
