NLP Life, Leadership & Executive Coach
I’m an accredited NLP Coach and Professional Business Coach, group facilitator and Lumina-Spark Team Practitioner, with over 11 years of NLP, Professional Coaching and Group Facilitation experience. Alongside my coaching and facilitation, I have built up two successful social entrepreneurship ventures, over the last 17 years; and have 20 years of experience working for a diverse range of organisations (in public and private sector), in leadership, communication, people and team development, and innovation.
I am a member of the ICF Australasia branch, and in the process of completing my ICF accreditation.
About Me
I began working as a coach in 2012, as a result of a combination of having endured (and finally made some headway on) a difficult journey to ‘finding myself’ and being aware and brave enough to single out the things that make me happiest (and therefore motivate me to add the most value I can); and through a realisation that I’d always been naturally drawn to working with people … getting to know their stories, their desires, what pulls them down, what gets them up each day ... and wanting to delve deeper into how to support people to live more holistically-fulfilling lives.
After working with a coach in 2010, my whole life began to change and take shape. And, having always known I wanted to be part of making the world a better place for us all, I decided to immerse myself in honing my people skills, and using coaching and facilitation to partner with people to achieve a brighter future, one human or group at a time.
I am a South African based in Wellington, New Zealand. I have a wonderful husband and two gorgeous children. And when I’m not coaching or facilitating, I’m either out and about, exploring the city, connecting with friends (or strangers I meet on the bus!), or enjoying downtime in nature with my family.
Testimonials
“Having Daniela as my life coach was the best decision I ever made.
She helped me make sense of my life experiences, how to find the positive lessons in my experiences, to understand my character, to forgive myself, to let go, to embrace, to get excited about life again and that I get to choose and work on who I want to be every day. Thanks so much Daniela 😊”
