“Brenda had a huge impact on our service delivery”
Wayne Coetzer - General Manager, The Oyster Box Hotel - Umhlanga.
“Life coaching with Brenda has been such an enriching experience. There are many coaching programmes available but a large percentage of them focus on business like improvements and don’t get down to the core which is within a personal behaviour, problems or habit that is stopping one from succeeding. Through Life Coaching I personally have been able to conquer my mountain and now stand on the top looking towards greater adventures and growth. Coaching with Brenda has also been a very special experience because of the person Brenda is. She is so real and consistent that it is very easy to go through experiences with her and be able to find the answers within yourself.”
Cassy Fourie, Liberty Midlands Mall, Centre Manager
“I attended the Brenda Eckstein International Business Communication and Leadership skills training course together with my post matric students. I found Brenda enthusiastic in her dynamic training methods, always willing all of us to give of our best.
Her course is practical and very relevant in helping each one to be able to confidently and clearly communicate through written and oral means. Her training is well structured and is suitable for younger school leavers as well as those of us who have been in the work place for some time. I appreciated her attention to detail and to each person on the course where I felt my contribution, and those of my students, was valued by her.
I enjoyed her flexibility in being able to reschedule the training in order to include a guest speaker at the last minute adding value to the course.”
Athol Davies - Treverton College Post Matric Director
PRISA
Many successful people attribute significant life changes to working with a coach. One current example is that of Adele Paulsen, Executive Director of PRISA (Public Relations Institute of South Africa).
“Being coached by Brenda from December 2010 to May 2011 took me from being scared and indecisive in my business position to being confident of what I wanted to say and able to make decisions. This impacted both in my organisational role and in my personal life as well. Coaching allowed me to explore life, to see possibilities and then to ‘take action’. It was a journey where I first needed to understand who I was and what opportunities existed for me. Business colleagues and friends have told me that they notice a positive difference in me and that I’m ‘on a roll’. I’m coping much better on all levels. Through being coached, I have increased self-confidence and this has enabled me to ‘spread my wings and fly’.”
Adele Paulsen, Executive Director of PRISA (Public Relations Institute of South Africa).
COMPASS ETHICS
“A vital part of my work as an applied ethics trainer is effective communication. To help me and my team in this regard I have turned to Brenda on a number of occasions in the past few years. Initially this was because of her impressive profile as a communications expert but since then the reason has been the sheer quality of her guidance, which thoroughly justifies her very high reputation. An outstanding communicator herself, her guidance is always balanced, practical and constructive. She notes strengths with infectious enthusiasm and areas where improvement is possible in a wonderfully friendly and tactful way. More recently I have found great benefit from her innovative work on networking. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
Professor Martin Prozesky, Compass Ethics, Hilton, KwaZulu-Natal.
