She has a reputation for calm leadership in periods of ambiguity, and a deep belief in people’s capacity to grow when supported well.

I received excellent services from an experienced business executive on business direction and challenges I needed to overcome. Her accommodating and personable style enabled me to rapidly pursue my business goals.

She allowed me to gain a positive insight into goal setting, actioning and applying these actions with immediate effect and results. This also allowed me to instil change that I would not have achieved without partnering with her.

Charmaine held me accountable for my goals; she helped me shift my new learned behaviour towards intentional
and committed actions thereby finding my own solutions.

A highly recommended Executive Coach for change and results.
