Dr Nondumiso Makhunga-Stevenson

Executive/Leadership & Career Coach

Hello, I’m Dr. Nondumiso Makhunga-Stevenson [MB ChB, MSc (Clin Epi)], a Certified Coach with a deep-seated passion for guiding doctors who are leader-managers or executives toward achieving greater success in both their professional and personal lives. With over 20 years of diverse medical expertise across public, corporate, private, nonprofit, clinical, and non-clinical sectors, I bring a comprehensive understanding of the unique challenges faced by doctors in leadership positions. My extensive background enables me to empathize with the pressures and demands that come with balancing medical practice and executive responsibilities.

My coaching philosophy is deeply rooted in the holistic principles of Ubuntu, an African philosophy that emphasizes community, collaboration, empathy, and interconnectedness. Ubuntu is more than just a guiding principle; it is the foundation upon which I build my coaching relationships. It allows me to connect with my clients on a profound level, understanding not only their professional aspirations but also their personal needs and values. By fostering a sense of community and shared purpose, I help my clients navigate their careers and personal lives with greater balance, productivity, and fulfillment.

As a coach, I am dedicated to helping doctors lead themselves and others effectively. My approach is highly personalised, focusing on the individual strengths and challenges of each client. I have successfully assisted clients in setting ambitious career goals, developing essential leadership skills, and achieving a harmonious work-life balance. My coaching is designed to support doctors in all aspects of their professional journey, whether they are setting personal leadership goals, managing a demanding schedule, dealing with burnout, or seeking to rediscover joy in their daily work. 

I understand the complexities of the medical profession, and I know how easy it is for doctors to become overwhelmed by the demands of their roles. That’s why I place a strong emphasis on creating customised approaches that resonate with the specific needs of each client. My experience across various aspects of the medical field gives me the insights necessary to help doctors navigate the unique challenges they face, from managing teams and leading organisations to finding personal fulfillment amidst a busy schedule.

Coaching with me is a collaborative journey where you, as the client, take ownership of your goals, agendas, and actions toward success. Our coaching sessions are a safe space for exploration, reflection, and growth. Through our work together, you can expect a supportive and empowering environment where we identify your aspirations, overcome obstacles, and implement strategies tailored to your unique situation. The coaching process is dynamic and adaptable, allowing you to explore different perspectives, challenge yourself, and unlock your full potential. My role is to provide the tools, insights, and guidance you need to achieve your vision and thrive in both your personal and professional life.

If you are ready to find fulfilment in both your medical leadership career and personal life, I offer a unique blend of medical knowledge and coaching expertise. I invite you to contact me for a FREE Discovery session today, where we can discuss your coaching needs and begin your journey toward success together. Let’s work together to create a future where you lead with confidence, balance, and a deep sense of purpose.
