Sjaan Wilkinson

Life Coach

I am a life coach who aims to facilitate a process whereby my clients take ownership of their destiny by discovering that the power to change is in their hands. My clients should feel free to explore possibilities open to them in a safe and non-judgmental environment.

Coaching can assist in the management of transitions, gaining clarity and the attainment of goals. I believe that when our strengths and passions are highlighted and celebrated, we can become unstuck and begin living our values.

If you are facing challenges personally or professionally, such as self-esteem, motivation, stress and anxiety, coaching can be beneficial to you. Successful coaching depends largely on a serious commitment from the coach and the client to bring about change.

If you are serious about bringing about positive change in your life, I would be delighted to share your journey with you. If you keep doing what you’re doing, you will keep getting what you’re getting. The time for change is now!

ABOUT ME AND MY APPROACH TO COACHING

My professional background has been in the Insurance Industry for the past 30 years. I have always been passionate about learning, development, performance and personal growth. I believe that my work experience has given me great insight into the corporate environment and the dynamics of working within a team.

I am naturally optimistic and my values such as integrity, respect, trustworthiness, resilience, dependability and empathy, guide me. I have personally benefited tremendously from being coached and have created the life I wished for myself.

I am influenced by the Person-Centred approach of Carl Rogers, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, the GROW model, as well as the Thinking Environment developed by Nancy Kline. I believe that my clients are the experts in their lives and they should feel free to explore the possibilities open to them in a safe and non-judgmental environment. I adhere to the coaching profession’s code of ethics and maintain strict confidentiality.
