Welcome, I’m Sabine

I’m a leadership- and team coach dedicated to helping leaders and teams navigate complexity with authenticity and courage for maximum impact.

 

I’ve always admired authentic, courageous leaders. Leaders that know what they stand for. Leaders that look the world straight in the eye and lead with conviction, courage, clarity and kindness, seamlessly combining head and heart.

 

Born in Belgium and raised in South Africa during the end of the apartheid era, my own leadership journey was shaped by witnessing Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu lead with grace under pressure. Their ability to unite people and inspire change deeply influenced my approach to leadership, which is grounded in authenticity, respect for diverse perspectives, and the power of courageous conversations.

 

I have spent the past 25 years in fast-paced international organizations and consulting roles, and I have supported many organizations through all kinds of transformation, including acquisitions and divestments, strategy shifts and reorganizations, and cultural change. My expertise spans leadership development, team coaching, strategy development facilitation, culture assessment and change, and sensitive change communication working with companies like Aon, Merck Pharmaceuticals, Pfizer, HSBC, ICBC-Standard Bank and ExxonMobil.

 

As a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC), ORSC team coach, and certified PROSCI change facilitator, I bring a structured human-centric approach to enabling change in organizations. Whether I’m supporting executive teams in building alignment, helping leaders step into their full potential, or making sure change is communicated effectively – my focus is on driving meaningful, impactful results.
