Testimonials

I had the privilege of attending the Positive Intelligence Course facilitated by Anna-Retha together with my whole team. This course was incredible for each of us individually and without even realising it, it brought us so much closer as a team. The material teaches you not only how to deal with difficult situations, but to turn every one of those scenarios into something positive and an opportunity for growth. I would recommend this course not only for support staff, but for directors of companies as well.

My Enneagram journey with Anna-Retha has been life changing and revolutionary – much more than what I could have ever imagined. Her humane, warm, kind, friendly and professional demeanor and guidance made this journey even more memorable. This program enabled me to peel the layers of the onion, digging into and discovering who I really am, accepting and embracing my blind spots, discovering other Enneagram styles which influence and complement the expression of my own. Also, investing in my own alter-ego to help me growing and enhancing the amazing human being that I already am. One can never invest too much in yourself. This journey has been priceless. I am stronger, more confident, more resilient and powerful than ever before. They say it takes a village to raise kids – well I’ll go further and add that it takes a village to raise, grow and nurture a human being – so thank you Anna-Retha for being part of my village!

Upon meeting Anna-Retha, I felt at ease in her presence and was impressed with her knowledge and view of improving ones mindset and productivity. I commenced an Enneagram based coaching programme where through same, was able to establish my personality type, my strengths, weaknesses, communication styles, and a lot more, comprehensively. In all her brilliance, Anna-Retha helped dissect the Enneagram, with each session focusing on a different aspect thereof. Through Anna-Retha’s constant guidance (she would regularly check-in and send constructive materials to assist) and expertise, coupled with constructive, meaningful discussions, I was able to establish which areas of my personality and mindset needed improvement and the tools were provided to do so. Over the span of the last 6 weeks I can honestly say that I have a much better mindset, I am more present, my focus has improved and my confidence and productivity in the workplace is at an all time high. I feel that I have more structure and definite direction. I would highly recommend Anna-Retha and the Enneagram programme. The manner in which Anna-Retha deals with you is calm, understanding, at times lighthearted and at times more stern. She is not afraid to challenge your thought process in order to get you thinking (which I never knew I needed). The programme itself is easy to understand, well structured and highly comprehensive with a holistic view on your personality type. I would recommend this programme to anyone battling with their productivity in general as well as those looking to address their weaknesses and bolster their strengths.

Coaching with Anna-Retha has made a big difference to how my management team is now able to communicate better and have better interpersonal relationships internally and also with clients. Her one-on-one sessions provide continuous support in my business and her workshops are fun and inspiring. I recommend Anna-Retha’s services to any business that wants to use a fresh approach to increasing production and leveling up their team’s emotional intelligence skills and creating a more positive environment.

The Positive Intelligence Program had a very powerful impact on me. It helped smooth some rough edges and has made me significantly more effective, due to an improved ability to respond to negative emotions or outcomes as well as negative thought patterns that are deeply entrenched. Anna-Retha is an excellent coach and has a powerful ability to provide insights at the right time, as well as explain difficult concepts in a very practical and relatable manner.

Coaching with Anna-Retha has, in one word, been profound.  She has this innate ability to hear the unspoken word, to deeply resonate with your energy and to plant seeds that germinate long after the coaching session has ended! I walk away from coaching sessions feeling energized, enthused, enlightened.  It is important for us to continually stretch and grow, and Anna-Retha has impacted me in such a way, that epitomizes her legacy.  If you want to go next level and be coached by a true master, look no further than her.

I met Anna-Retha for the first time when she introduced our sales team to the Positive Intelligence Program. Her infectious, lively enthusiasm and manner of presentation impressed me. The content of her presentation immediately got me thinking! The Positive Intelligence Program definitely changed my outlook on life and the way I approach daily obstacles. I can wholeheartedly recommend Anna-Retha as a coach.

 Anna-Retha is excellent at holding the space and questioning my stories. She helped me see things that I was unable to see on my own - I had so many insights during our call. The impact this one call might have could be very valuable, both from a financial perspective as well as a mindset perspective.

I feel blessed that I could spend time with Anna-Retha as my coach. With her wit and charm, she supported me, guided me, even challenged me at times, to grow and and improve myself. What a privilege it was to travel this journey that I thoroughly enjoyed and will cherish forever.  I am grateful to Anna-Retha for her guidance and skill. She encouraged me to believe in myself and in my own skills and potential. She affirmed my efforts, but also pointed out pitfalls to watch out for. Never did I feel judged. On the contrary, she really walked the difficult steps with me! Thank you, Anna-Retha, you are one in a million and I vow to keep on growing!
