“Before I met Innocente, 2 years ago, the only way I knew how to articulate who I was and who the people around me were was in reference to personalities. Having worked with her in a personal and professional capacity for over a year, I have found that her method of communication and her strengths in coaching techniques allow for insight beyond what I am able to find on my own. I would recommend Innocente for anyone looking to understand themselves better to be an effective leader, empathic listener and energised performer. Emotional Intelligence is her forte!”

Manager-to-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.”

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.

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.

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!

Emerging Leader Participant

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.
