Hello, I’m Sanita.
I am an Executive Leadership Coach, a Speaker, and a Workshop Facilitator.
I work with high-performing leaders and professionals navigating pivotal moments in their careers and lives. Whether you're leading from the C-suite or redefining your professional path, I provide a trusted, supportive space to reflect, grow, and thrive.
Why I Do What I Do
Having navigated my own significant transitions - from corporate leadership across 55+ countries to building a portfolio career focused on purpose and impact - I know firsthand the challenges of stepping into the unknown. This experience re-ignited my passion for helping others unlock their potential, align their actions with their vision, and create meaningful, sustainable success.
What Sets Me Apart
What makes my coaching unique is my ability to bridge high-level strategy, academic frameworks and deep empathy. Drawing on over 20 years of global leadership experience, I bring cultural adaptability and strategic insight to help leaders navigate change with clarity and confidence.
What I Value
I believe in the power of authentic, purpose-driven leadership and creating balance in life and work. My approach prioritizes well-being, resilience, and intentional growth, helping my clients thrive without compromising what matters most.
Most of all, I love what I do - helping people step out of their comfort zones, realize their potential, and create lasting impact. I love watching my clients learn, grow and thrive.
