about

This is a group coaching programme designed to promote women’s personal growth, professional development, and the advancement of women in the world. We facilitate expert knowledge transfer, peer-to-peer learning, and the sharing of women’s personal experiences. We come together to craft a possible future. We provide you with a safe space for self-reflection and self-discovery. A space for you to connect with yourself and others, improve your well-being and deliver results.

Rise circle conversations bring a blend of Heart, Intellect and Action!

purpose

The Rise Circle group coaching programme is a response to the growing complexity and challenges surrounding women’s advancement into leadership positions. The internal and external barriers that women have to navigate are coming at a great cost. 

Through a unique facilitated process, Rise Coaching Circles empower participants to surface unconscious biases, define new possibilities, and implement personalised strategies that produce meaningful and sustainable results. To accelerate this work, we use various assessment tools to determine each participant’s strengths, values, self-saboteurs, patterns and areas of potential development. Together we explore the essential developmental topics of self-worth, transition, emotional wellbeing, and self-leadership.

A community of like-minded women, all with the same pursuit of empowering their lives and relationships.

how circles work

Circles create a place of safety, honesty, and accountability from which your best leadership can emerge.

Group sessions involve a mix of group coaching, individual coaching, guided activities, and time for questions and processing.

Circles cultivate and support lifelong relationships with circle participants, while individually growing individual leadership skills.

This is a safe environment for a small group of peers to learn from each other in exploring the challenges and complexities of their roles and designing effective and authentic ways to achieve what matters most to them.

testimonials

I was introduced to coaching about 7+ years ago, at the time I was an unmotivated and I felt stuck in the job I was doing. Through the coaching program I became more confident in my capabilities. This led to me claiming my space better in the organization, acknowledging my strengths and putting myself forward, helping both in my personal space as well as my career. I am currently a property manager, looking after half of the country and in a role that requires me to make/ propose decisions that have a major impact on the organization. I am more aware of my capabilities and utilizes my skill more effectively. Thanks to Nokubonga it is so far a great journey of self-discovery and self-awareness.

Working with Nokubonga has been wonderful. She is very knowledgeable and seems to know what she is talking about. She ask questions that I never thought of and made me change the way I think and how I view myself. I came to Nokubonga because I needed guidance in my career and was also not feeling good about myself when it came to my work. The mindfulness exercises that we did were quite helpful in how I view myself and my work. There is some positive change and people can notice.

I’ve worked with Bongi as a coach on two separate occasions in my life - one where I was feeling stuck and looking for assistance with a career change and the other when I was navigating drastic changes in my career during COVID lockdown! During both those occasions, Bongi’s coaching was so helpful! She gave me incredible tools to help me through the uncertainty and come out the other end  in tune with myself and clearer on my next steps! She’s helped me find my voice and confidence professionally and personally and I highly recommend her coaching services!
