COACHING NICHE:
Working with personal-mastery and knowing that all change starts with an understanding of self, Sivan uses the Enneagram as a tool for insight and
awareness. She finds herself drawn to next level leadership – leaders navigating the challenges in transitioning from one level of leadership to the next. She enjoys working with leaders who grapple with the challenges of Diversity and Inclusion. Her systemic approach and the use of ORSC
(Organisation Relationship Systems Coaching) tools allows her to work with leaders and teams to equip them to have the real and difficult
conversations, deal with conflict as a healthy catalyst for change, break down silos and reduce toxic communication. This results in building trust,
creating a shared leadership culture and building great teams.

“Sivan has this unbelievable capability to ensure that the focus remains on the end goal whenever I am in a session with her. I might digress but she
has the knack to always bring the conversation back to the goal that we are looking to achieve. She is easy to confide in and the conversations flow
effortlessly. It still blows me away when the realization hits me that I have just unlocked something in myself with her help.” Gauteng Senior Sales
