Wikus Swanepoel

Manager-to-Leader Participant

“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.”

Innocente is a passionate and energetic speaker who will leave audiences motivated to take on Monday's with more enthusiasm and less dread. Reframing Mondays into days of purpose is Innocentes strength. I highly recommend her as a speaker, facilitator and MC. She will enliven your team and fuel you for a motivated week.

Angela de Longchamps

CEO @ Inspired Leadership Development CEO

In 2021 we decided to add the Emerging Leaders journey from Inspired Leadership to our early career professionals development. This unusual, but highly effective approach has had an excellent impact and we are now deploying all four paths of the Emerging Leader journey in the Africa Business Unit. This consulting relationship resulted in our Africa business moving from the bottom of the engagement pile to the top not only in our EMEA region but globally.

HR Director

I learnt to approach my actions with intention. The most valuable aspect for me was developing emotional intelligence, which facilitated meaningful self-reflection — something I hadn’t engaged in much before.

Innocente's contagious energy and insightful facilitation of the TGI Monday talk, makes the words on the screen come alive. My team began the day as they would any other day, however after the talk, we continued our day with a new perspective on tackling the challenges ahead. The power of understanding one's strength, and that of one's team members, can change the way a team thinks about problems and solves those problems. Mondays have become days filled with productivity and positivity.

Luvo Hatile

Emerging Leader Participant

“In 2018 we made a decision to engage with Innocente, wow! what a stroke of luck. Her positive approach energized our management team and workforce. For once our employees felt they belonged and started to ‘care’ about our business. This increased productivity, reduced wastage, and resulted in better relationships in the company, improved margins, and happy shareholders. We were stuck in the past and would not have been in a position to survive the devastating state of our economy if we didn’t follow the advice from Innocent and accept more current HR approaches.”

“I had the privilege of getting to know Innocente during her Gallup Strengths Coaches training. From the start, it was clear that she is extremely passionate about helping her clients become the best they can be. Her commitment to understanding how people think, feel and behave is beyond impressive. It is inspiring. I have no doubt that she is a great coach to have.”
