When I stepped into the studio for my interviews on eNCA, Cape Talk, and other platforms, one question came up repeatedly:
“How did a Chartered Accountant become a communication coach?”
The answer is deeply personal.
“I became the coach I once needed.”
Early in my corporate career, I stood in front of senior executives—prepared, capable, and ready. But in that moment, something unexpected happened.
I froze.
Not from fear. From overwhelm.
That experience didn’t just shake my confidence—it reshaped my identity. It forced me to confront a truth many professionals quietly carry:

Over the next two decades, I immersed myself in mastering communication. I trained, experimented, failed, and rebuilt—until what was once my greatest weakness became my greatest strength.
And that journey became the foundation of my second book, Ignition.
The book is not theoretical. It is deeply practical—built on real experiences, real transformations, and real-world application.
It answers three powerful questions:
But perhaps the most powerful insight behind Ignition is this:
Public speaking is not a talent. It is a skill.
Just like learning to drive, you don’t start on the highway. You begin small. You build confidence. You progress.
And that’s exactly what I help my clients do today.
