"I would highly recommend Juanene to anyone looking to make changes and who wants rapid results. Juanene is challenging, but you need someone to challenge you to drive great results. She has passion and enthusiasm by the truckload with a huge work ethic. If you are looking to give your career a boost I have no hesitation in recommending her". Mel C (Head of Consulting Africa Merchants Consulting)

“Through the coaching with Juanene I was able to transform myself radically and within a short space of time. It was a total inner make-over that allowed me to start living (not existing) with contentment, confidently, responsibly, purposefully, and true to myself. She has unlocked my potential.” Haseena P (Managing Director)

"I found that the coaching gave me clarity, time to contemplate and stare hard at myself, to question my needs and desires, my weaknesses, my strengths. Coaching is something we rarely do for ourselves and yet a real necessity as it covers all levels of one's being. Juanene is direct, honest and challenging and has great insight and understanding." Isa G (Managing Director IBi Art)

I met Juanene in August 2008, it is now January 2009 and in this short space of time she helped us to move forward in leaps and bounds by focusing on areas that are critical for our operation!! She pushed buttons I was not aware I had and confronted me and my team with questions that made us aware that the "next level" is within ourselves! What is awesome about her method of working with us is that she guides us through situations in order for us to get to the solutions ourselves; she does not spoon-feed us and therefore preparing us for the day when we will be without her. What a sad day that will be!!! Through her help and dedication, we are a confident and winning team and ready for 2009! Looking forward to be working with her this year!! Gerrit K (Sales Manager Hertex Fabrics)

"Because of Juanene's flexibility in terms of "how" the coaching happens, I had all my sessions telephonically. Juanene exhibits an exquisite ability to accurately "read" her clients in the absence of visual clues - I found this to be an amazing skill which makes her a brilliant coach. Juanene is extremely professional and very determined in ensuring that her clients recognise, embrace and celebrate their greatness, whilst remaining friendly, supportive, encouraging and firm at the same time. The growth I achieved through my coaching sessions is immeasurable". Dr Katijah K-S (HOD Faculty of Humanities WITS University)

During 2010, I decided that it was time to take control of my life. Things were ticking along - I had a job, a supportive family, friends, but something was missing. I had been to see many therapists and psychologists who had all helped me in various ways, but I was tired of looking backwards and wanted to start looking forwards with hope. Juanene has helped me tremendously to articulate what I want in life and has provided me with practical and effective tools and techniques to realise these goals. I now feel that I am operating from a place of faith and hope rather than a place of sadness and foreboding. During our coaching relationship I got a new and exciting job, managed to sort myself out financially, bought my own home, improved both my friendships and family relationships, started exercising regularly and lost weight. The journey is certainly not ovre and I still have far to go, yet my journey has started! With Juanene's guidance and support I have taken important steps and am looking forward to the exciting journey that is my life! Thanks Juanene! Vicky H (Nedbank Group OD)

I began my coaching sessions with Juanene not knowing quite what to expect – mainly from myself - because Juanene had made it perfectly clear what coaching was about, in the introductory session. During our 6 month association I experienced enormous personal growth which has resulted in contentment and happiness that I have not felt for many, many years. Throughout our sessions Juanene instinctively knew that my path was changing from our initial session and she encouraged, supported and walked those steps with me. I commend her professionalism, understanding and wisdom. She is an outstanding person and one feels completely safe in her very capable hands. Liz dS

Juanene is truly inspirational and conducts her sessions in a professional and FUN manner. She has assisted me in developing my confidence and realising that I have the power to achieve anything I want through the choices I make. She also has the ability to act as a mirror: only reflecting and not interfering. Shobini S (AngloGoldAshanti)

We had a number of coaching sessions over a six month period. Given that I had just joined a new organisation, this was an important intervention. It provided me with an opportunity to look for the best ways of working even before unnecessary mistakes were made. As Juanene observed in her website, it is indeed curious to note that coaching is not necessarily an early intervention. The sessions were great and were very helpful in providing focus on the work that was needed. They also gave me an opportunity to look at myself and better manage the balance needed between the many aspects of my life. Nhlanhla M (Director CNS Wits University)

I have found Juanene to be a thoroughly professional and ethical person, who through our regular sessions has allowed me the time and the space to gain a better understanding not only of myself but also of those around me, be it family, friends or colleagues. I believe that Juanene has been able to guide me towards my goal of finding the balance between family, work and self, which is the key for me, to unlocking the door to a more fulfilled and happier life and for this I remain truly indebted to Juanene. Cristian C (Director Vitrex P/L)

 Juanene is experienced, insightful, well versed with the business environment and possesses excellent skills in business coaching.  She was able to relate to my style of working and was familiar with the culture of the organisation within which I was new. Juanene provided me with the inspiration and tools to finding my own solutions to the challenges I was facing. Her approach is inspiring in that the tools she uses are engaging and enlightening - the results being internalized by those who experience the answers and often “switching on the lights to rooms I did not know existed!”. She was able to keep me excited and engaged at every stage of discussion and discovery and often dared me to consider options which I did not think to, or was to afraid to consider. Carolyn P (VP HR Areva Resources SA

Juanene is able to establish a warm relationship with a client which in turn acts as a nutrient medium for activating dormant capacities and building new. Juanene helps the client to explore current challenges and break them into manageable components and thus make it easier to come up with innovative solutions. Juanene is a very competent coach with the capacity to move at the client's pace. She is always focused and demonstrates seriousness of purpose at all times. Prof Edwell K (HOD Social Work/School of Human and Community Development Wits University)

My experience with Juanene was rewarding and fulfilling in many ways. I learnt more about myself in 8 months than I had in the last 5 years. Somewhere along the line things just clicked for me and if she hadn't been there for me I would not have ended up making life-changing decisions and sticking to them. She had a way of making me deal with the big issues at hand and not letting me get away with mediocrity or procrastination. For that I am eternally grateful; and as I move on to the next chapter of my life I can say I am glad and grateful I met her. Aida M (Operations Analyst Citibank)

I was apprehensive about this journey and was hoping that my coach and I would really gel. I must say that from the first moment I met Juanene we had an instant connection. We seem to have connected at most levels while her insights, patience and positive spirit kept highlighting the critical issues or blind spots. “Your answers are within you, but you do not perceive it” – I can honestly say that Juanene was instrumental in me understanding this statement.   The coaching procdess was a great experience; Juanene has certainly been an inspiration and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her as someone who truly lives what she preaches.  Mohammed N (Managing Director HP SA)
