This course stood out with its integration of online tools, setting it apart from traditional book-based courses. The biggest takeaway for me was on self-awareness and performance management, offering rich and well-curated content.

“I attend a business coaching session presented by Innocente (PerformForward), to be frank I assumed it would be just another one of those long-winded meetings you can’t wait to get out of. Innocente however was amazing, really made it worth attending, actively engaging with all who attended and challenged us on various levels. I personally learnt not only about myself but about managing various people, situations and cultures morning session.I was extremely impressed and if offered the opportunity would definitely attend again.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Innocente during my tenure at VentureWeb. Even though she worked in a different division to me, I was always inspired by her consistently high levels of positive energy. I worked closely with Innocente on a specific project at VentureWeb. There, I experienced first-hand how Innocente is a ‘go-getter’ and a determined vision-centric achiever. She places the client first and carefully aligns her interactions with the business's goals. Maintaining a focus on quality and understanding of what her clients require, Innocente balances her service delivery with her experience and specialist acumen in her field. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Innocente for the positive impact she has had on me, and I do not hesitate to recommend Innocente.”

The highlight of my experience was learning about emotional intelligence, which has truly been on eye-opening journey that has facilitated tremendous personal growth. Additionally, creating a vision board has empowered me to prioritize and set meaningful goals.

Amazing coaching experience. Innocente has the ability, as coach, to prompt the right conversation that makes one access those aha moments naturally and easily.
I recently did the Gallop Strengths test with her, which she helped me unpack in such understandable, practical and easy fashion - this made me realise that, what I thought was “wrong” with me, is actually what is “right” with me. Since then, being aware of my strengths (and certain blind spots), made me more confident in my job, and in general. I would recommend Innocent in a heartbeat!

I recently had some coaching sessions with Innocente and all I can say is wow! The sessions were extremely powerful and have changed the life in many positive ways. Innocente has a gift of being able to ask powerful questions and then quickly guiding you to the core of any issues. She then uses her pragmatism and any relevant data to work with you towards the best solution. I recommend her to anyone who wants to improve their performance or requires any coaching.

Innocente owns her knowledge and deep understanding of what drives our behaviour and how we motivate ourselves and interact with others. Her enthusiasm and insight was a sure guide for me to take that next step, own my unique abilities and be the best that I can be. If you are ready to make some changes that will last, that are meaningful and sustainable, you will be hard-pressed to find a better partner!
