What is the value that I add to JP/area of specialization?
My passion is to work with Business Leaders who are serious about transforming their organisations through building a company’s culture in a way that empowers the organisation to thrive through its people and teams. I truly believe that leadership is not about being in charge but rather about taking care of those in your charge so that they are happy and emotionally healthy. This does not mean that leaders need to be soft on their people, rather, leaders need to be humble, demanding and ignite curiosity. A thriving organisation is one where the values spiral into everything that is done and where there is meaning and purpose behind the work.

What do you need to know about me?
As an innovative, practical, solutions driven individual, I adopt an engaging approach to enabling business change.

I am thus resolute on the co-creation of solutions and ensuring that solutions implemented are sustainable in-house.

I am a registered Industrial Psychologist, holding a BA, BA(Hons) and MA in Industrial Psychology from the University of the Witwatersrand and an MBA through Henley Business School. I have built my career over the last 14 years working in various industries, specifically financial services, travel and education.

Over my years in Corporate and in Consulting, I have developed deep expertise in talent and performance management and leadership development.

Prior to joining Joint Prosperity, I was the Chief Human Capital Executive at Fundi. My contribution at Fundi was my work with the CEO in designing and implementing a turnaround strategy for the organisation. In my capacity at Fundi, I successfully led an organisational restructure, designed and implemented a culture transformation process to drive high performance through innovation and collaboration, and establish a Learning and Development Academy.

I see the strengths and uniqueness easily in people, and together with my and JP’s toolkit we can find ways to bring those out and contribute towards a person’s joy, satisfaction and meaning. I love having meaningful conversations with people that contribute towards insight and positive change.

What do you need to know about me?
I am a pathological optimist and find immense joy in seeing the silver lining and finding solutions to problems. When I am not at work, I hug trees and love to spend time in nature, either running or hiking. I am known for using strange words that are my creation.

Words the team use to describe me
Enthusiastic, witty and concerned about the wellbeing of others. Sometimes fussy.

If I wrote my biography what would the title be and why?
‘Beauty from ashes’ – rising above circumstances and the boxes that society would want to push us into. I am inspired by people who do the very things that we would expect them not to; not because they want to prove themselves to anyone, but simply as an expression of who they’ve become.

I’m passionate about people and business.

After working at JP full-time for nine years in the assessment space, I relocated to KZN earlier this year. I now work with JP as an associate, assisting with KZN-based and online assessments. I’m thrilled to be able to continue adding value in this space. Candidates get an opportunity to explore their potential and gain personal insight, and businesses can make informed decisions about their talent pool.

 As I say to people ‘with great power comes great responsibility’. You need to understand not only your strengths, but also the areas requiring development. And at the end of the day, love what you do.

What is the value I add to JP/area of specialisation?
I have been associated with Joint Prosperity for over 20 years and go way back to when the JP Tribe started.

As a psychologist in the field of industrial psychology, I have always been deeply fascinated with psychometrics and the amazing insights these tools bring to establish purpose and drive for organisations and individuals.

I have deep specialist skills in the field of medico-legal and psycho-legal industrial psychology assessments. I frequently assist attorney firms and I have testified numerous times in the High Court in order to assist the court in quantifying losses for physically and mentally injured plaintiffs. My skills have also broadened into being a mediator within the areas of divorce, commercial and medico-legal mediation. I really love my profession.

What do you need to know about me?
I have dabbled in all forms of psychology, from counselling, coaching through to hypnotherapy. I enjoy learning about new techniques and working with psychological tools that really work and make a difference. I love science, philosophy and being conceptual, creative and analytical. I enjoy hiking and painting, when on vacation, and, although not an artist, my wife and kids are fortunately my biggest fans.

Words the team uses to describe me?
Serious, conceptual, creative, analytical, quieter and wiser with age.

My source of inspiration.
My wife and kids are my major source of inspiration. I simply love to sit in nature, imbibe and observe. I love the early mornings and often find myself watching the sun rise over the horizon. Watching the colours of the morning and the rays of first light is one of my biggest moments of inspiration.

What is the value that I add to JP/area of specialisation?
One of the meanings of my name is ‘supporter’ and it is aligned to my purpose, which is to use my skills and abilities to support others to facilitate personal and organisational growth with passion, compassion and a bit of humour. With 20 years of experience as a work psychologist and consultant in both the public and private sector, I can quickly integrate into a team, support and partner with others towards adding value to the lives and work of our clients.

What do you need to know about me?
My beliefs, values and purpose steer my actions and the direction that I pursue.  Although naturally introverted, I am fascinated by people and often fill the integrator role.  I enjoy spending time with family and friends, going on hikes and being in nature.  Additionally, when I become tired, I tend to speak much more than usual and secretly, I have always wanted to be a stand-up comedian.

Words the team use to describe me.
I am guessing and hoping: supportive, humane, witty and accommodating.

My source of inspiration.
I find mountains inspiring and intriguing. Also, the quote by the poet Rumi, “You are not a drop in the ocean; you are the entire ocean in a drop” inspires me to do more to make an impact on the individual, family, community, society, and professional levels.
