TESTIMONIALS

What Donna's Clients Say

“
“Once again you turned me from a sceptic as to the value of external facilitators to being fascinated at your ability/technique to draw out sound and valuable content that will not only assist in developing a pointed and relevant marketing strategy but also provided some real insights into the current strategy gaps and some solutions for our business” Rob Katzen, CEO, Teljoy Investment Group “Donna exudes credibility as a business leader, displays a genuine passion for her work and releases and channels energy in each group she has worked with to date. We value and also repeatedly benefit from her sound business insights, her multi-faceted experience and background, not to mention her intuition and sense of humour. Her approach to facilitation puts everyone in the room at ease and fuels anticipation and excitement from the get go as we all prepare to take a journey, whether for a single day or a much longer session”
Adele CloeteFormer Group HR Director, Dialogue Group Holdings Limited
“Donna has the capacity to change one’s thinking; to help you to see new avenues to further your career, and to move you from a space of ‘stuckness’ to one of possibility and results.”
Liora GrossProgramme Director Gibs
“Let me take this opportunity and appreciate the amazing work you have done. Your contagious passion for your work is extremely unbelievable. The impact your work has had in touching lives like mine is unmatched.”
Ramodiehi TebakangSenior People Partner, Relationship Banking
“A few months ago, I reached a pivot point in my career where I realized that I have to transition from a senior manager to people leader in my organization. I started seeing Donna as part of my development journey and her involvement has been fundamental to my transformation. Through our sessions she is helping me to intentionally and concisely articulate my leadership values and personal brand. She provides objective, honest, and constructive playback on my perspectives, she challenges my thinking, and she leads me to new insights about myself and my career. The journey of leadership transitioning is not easy, but I am in great hands. Every session I finish I walk away with new knowledge, self-awareness, and practical actions that I can immediately start applying. I recommend Donna with her honest, straightforward, and collaborative approach to anyone who wants to take their career to the next level and become a true leader.”
Ockert De WetSBV, Head of Architecture, Data And Program Office
“Thank you so much for all your guidance and support through the process – you set me up for success – without a doubt!”
CoacheeFinancial Services Client
“I mostly appreciated how you immersed yourself in the Multichoice culture to fully understand the challenges that women face and what they needed to do to advance their leadership in a male dominated industry. You helped me build the women development strategy for the group, did exceptional work in profiling our women in leadership and your coaching of our executives was exceptional value. This was a memorable learning experience for the women leaders and today your presentations and the value derived remains the most talked about in terms of value and relevance.”
