Enterprisecoach helps you and your people to align, collaborate and innovate for long term sustainable value.
We work directly with the local and global leadership teams that drive your business. Value is unlocked when they engage together in real time, whether in person or online, supported and challenged by us as coaches. And it usually takes several meetings over a period of at least 90 days to embed sustainable change. We’re flexible on just about everything else – time, place, location and duration.
We tackle the tough stuff – where there is no easy solution
Leaders come to our network when they face extraordinary challenges. We like it when you bring problems that appear insoluble. Complexity, conflict, competition and passion are our daily bread.
The work we do is beyond both training and consulting. It’s about helping your people untangle relationships, communications and differences in your business ecosystem to thrive and create more value.
We’re a boutique service, spanning the globe, helping your leadership teams unlock the value in the people dimension of your business.

He is quite simply a legendary athlete on the global stage. Yet he is creating a bigger legacy as a systems-inspired leader in South Africa, via the parkrun [...]
Human constellations: getting the bigger picture
Last week it was brought home to me just how important constellations are as the language of humans in relationship. A group of relatively new South African systems coaching practitioners was meeting on Skype, coming from a variety of dimensions of our world – working in the cities and the townships, in companies and the [...]
The true power of collaboration
We grew up in an era dominated by individualism and competition. These human traits have driven the accumulation of wealth, power and technological advancement and taken the world to a place where we stare into an abyss of global inequality and conflict. Many decisions are still being made on the assumption that it is human nature [...]
Generosity of spirit: a must-have for good business
My Dad was an optimist about business. When I was young and hotheaded, I remember explaining to him how wrong he was. And I still think business is not all sweetness and light. And yet, maybe thanks to Dad, I prick up my ears every time I hear a story about business that is generative and [...]
