President & VP update

ACTING PRESIDENT’S CORNER

Our President is currently on Extended Sick Leave. He would have liked to include the following matters in his May 2025 newsletter:

We are feeling quite proud with our Milestone Achievement after the SAQA Board approved the re-recognition of COMENSA as a professional body at their 20th March 2025 Board Meeting, after it expired earlier this year … “The renewal of the recognition period is from 20 March 2025 until 19 March 2030”, which is for the next 5 years, Perfectly and Divinely Aligned to our “Moving Forward To 2030” Strategy. We would not have achieved this amazing milestone were it not for our MCSC Chair (Sean Fenn), who was always ahead of the game; National Office Administrator (Tamara Naidoo), spending a few sleepless nights to meet the deadlines; and our Board Secretariat (Melissa Voller), ensuring that we are on point with our governance matters and assisting us by personally delivering the submission to the SAQA Office; all under the leadership of the National Vice-President (Mpho Modisaesi), with the support from the SEC Chair (Gerard Mofolo). We are certainly making every effort to Celebrate This Moment!

The President’s Office will also be celebrating Books Written By our COMENSA Members … As part of The President’s Office Initiatives, the President will be implementing “The President’s Office: An Interview with An Author”, which will be scheduled in the evenings of every 2nd Thursday Month-End from the end of May 2025, being the end of COMENSA’s 1st Quarter of the New/Current Financial Year. This is an initiative to pass on the knowledge from those Coaches/Mentors with the wisdom gained over the years and from which a lot of us can learn, as Professionals in this industry.

So grab your blanket/heater, pour yourself a cup/mug of tea/coffee/hot chocolate to keep yourself warm and let’s have Coaching and Mentorship Conversations!

Proposed Schedule (These are National Virtual Events):

1. Thursday, 29th May 2025 @ 18h30 – 19h30 … Book: “Rise of the Warrior Leader” By Author: Claudio Christo (Past Western Cape Chapter Chair).
[ … Thursday, 26th June 2025 = COMENSA Quarterly Board Meeting]

Research Committee
RPC March 2025 Newsflash Article

The COMENSA Research Portfolio Committee (RPC) looks forward to Celebrating International Women’s Day on March 8, 2025.

We commemorate this special day by dedicating the March Newsflash to understanding how AI can be utilized in the coaching/supervision or mentoring environment for our benefit.
 
What is AI?

Artificial Intelligence (AI): AI refers to simulations of human intelligence processes by machines, mainly computer systems. These processes include learning through acquiring information and rules for using it, reasoning using rules to reach approximate or definite conclusions, and self-correction. Like any change process, AI raises fears and concerns from various coaches. The RPC addresses some of the fears faced by the coaches as follows:
 
Fears raised by AI coaching
  • AI will replace or displace human coaches.
Research shows that this fear is a myth. This fear of AI coaching leads to negative opinions and reduced curiosity about AI coaching.

       •  The potential bias in AI training is the fear of embracing AI coaching.

As a coach/supervisor/ mentor, you should select the AI tool which aligns with the COMENSA Behavioral Standards Framework. 

       •   A final concern about AI coaching is data security and privacy.

It remains the coach/ supervisor/ mentor’s responsibility to ensure that the client’s information remains secure, private and confidential.

RPC AI Tips for Coaches
  • Educate Oneself:
As coaches, we need to stay informed about AI developments and understand how to integrate AI into our coaching practice.

       •  Select Appropriate Tools:

Choose AI tools that align with our coaching objectives and enhance, rather than replace, the human aspects of our practice.
  •  Maintain Ethical Standards:

Ensure that AI complies with ethical guidelines concerning client confidentiality and data security.

  •  Combine AI with Human Insight:

Use AI to handle administrative tasks and data analysis, allowing more time to focus on building meaningful client relationships.

  •  Seek Feedback:

Regularly solicit feedback from clients regarding using AI tools to ensure they add value to the coaching experience.
 
Benefits of AI in Coaching
  • Scalability
AI enables coaches to manage a more extensive client base by automating repetitive tasks and providing resources that clients can access independently.

       •  Personalization

Through data analysis, AI can customize coaching content to meet individual client needs, enhancing the relevance and effectiveness of coaching sessions.

       •  Accessibility

AI-powered coaching tools can be available 24/7, offering support to clients regardless of time zones or schedules
 
       •  RPC Recommended Reading

The RPC planned four research webinars for 2025 to empower our members. The following news flash will inform you of the developments.
 
 
Emerging Trends in Coaching/Supervision and Mentoring
In the RPC monthly newsflash, an article or two will be selected to shed light on new trends and developments in the coaching, mentoring, or supervision space.

RPC is also encouraging COMENSA members who have recently (2023-2025) published peer-reviewed or accredited articles or book abstracts, which they must share with COMENSA members, to provide such material to the RPC committee. RPC will use some of those articles for the news flash, and others will stimulate webinar discussions.
 
 
Farewell to our past RPC Member
As the RPC committee, we appreciate a long-serving member who made significant progress on the RPC team last year.
Jacques Myburgh, thank you for your involvement in the RPC. The RPC appreciates your dedication and hard work over the past years. Your contributions have been instrumental to the committee’s success, and your ten-year contributions have shaped the committee and its activities—all the best in your new endeavors.
The current RPC Team members, Joyce Baloyi (Chairperson), Dr Marisa Leask, Matjatji Mothapo, and Zonke Cebekhulu, hope to receive your suggested topics and research articles on which you would be interested in learning more.
 
Concluding remarks

On a lighter note, Enjoy International Women’s Month and make a difference in your research activities. We look forward to your continued support in the RPC activities and events.

Audit, Risk & Finance Committee

Navigating the Audit Season: The Path to a Clean Audit for Financial Year 2024/2025

As we bid farewell to another financial year, the onset of audit season serves as a timely reminder of the crucial role that thorough audits play in our organizational integrity and accountability. At COMENSA, we take our audits very seriously, understanding that they are not merely a regulatory requirement but a vital component of our operational health and transparency.

Audits provide an essential framework for assessing our financial practices and internal controls. They help ensure that our financial statements accurately reflect our operations, safeguarding the interests of our stakeholders. A proper audit can identify areas of improvement, enhance our financial reporting, and ultimately promote trust in our organization.

It’s important to distinguish between a qualified audit and a clean audit, as both serve different purposes and convey different messages. A clean audit, often referred to as an unqualified audit, indicates that the auditor has found no significant issues or discrepancies in the financial statements. This is the gold standard we aim for, as it reflects a high level of confidence in our financial reporting.

On the other hand, a qualified audit suggests that the auditor has identified certain issues or limitations that need to be addressed, which could potentially affect the reliability of the financial statements. While a qualified audit does not necessarily imply wrongdoing, it does highlight areas that require attention, making it essential for organizations to take corrective actions promptly.

As we look ahead to the Financial Year 2024/2025, our focus is unwavering: we are striving towards achieving a clean audit. This goal is not just about compliance; it’s about fostering a culture of excellence, accountability, and transparency within COMENSA. By adhering to best practices and diligently addressing any potential risks, we can enhance our financial reporting and reinforce our commitment to our members and stakeholders.

In conclusion, as we enter this audit season, let us recognize the importance of proper audits and the value they bring to our organization. Together, we can navigate this process with diligence and integrity, ensuring our path towards a clean audit in the coming financial year. We look forward to giving our valuable membership a clean audit. We are on track for the audit process for the year ended 28th of February 2025.

The Benefits of Building a Reflective Coaching Practice:

One of the greatest benefits of being a professional coach is distinct capability to develop and practice self-reflection.  Many would agree that this is probably one of the hardest skills to develop as a coach.  The coach’s responsibility to is support the client’s capacity to adapt and sustain change.  Tracy Fuller (2021) argues that much of coaching success is dependent on coach’s ability to reflect and expand the client capacity.  She shares insightful reflective questions below.

According to McKinsey (2020) using powerful reflection practice has several benefits at different stages of engagement with the client:

Reflection that promotes learning happens in three primary moments – before, during and after a task.  Forecasting a cognitive task simply means looking ahead.  In these moments, we are thinking ahead about how we might tackle as a task, how we will approach a problem, or what we will say during a difficult conversation.  We are reflecting on what’s coming.  This process of forecasting or planning primes us to learn.

When we reflect during an event, we can correct our course and make adjustments.  We notice what is happening even as we are “in the arena” and can learn and experiment in the moment.  Finally, retrospective reflection lets us look at a past situation, consider how effective our actions were and then project forward to how we would approach a similar event in the future.”

As such, coaches must continue to use and adapt different kinds of reflection questions to expand their efficacy and client’s capacity:

  • What went especially well?
  • What didn’t go as well as I’d like?
  • What would I do more of, less of, or differently moving forward?
  • What was missing?
  • Where could there have been a better balance?  What am I noticing?

“The more reflective you are, the more effective you are.”

Professional Conduct Committee

A Quiet Year.

How do you interpret the statement, considering this is the Professional Conduct Committee and the monthly communication in which we share insights with members?

A committee and team working behind the scenes to resolve complaints against members, adhering to the organisation’s by-laws and Memorandum of Incorporation while answering to the members.

A quiet year for us is a concern. While we assume our members act with the necessary integrity and ethical standards, it seems odd that we have not received any complaints related to members’ activities.

So, what does the committee do in a Quiet year? We continue to refine our processes, reexamining previous processes and systems, and seeking to improve our individual skills related to the committee’s terms of reference.

As a committee, we wonder if it has been a quiet year because perhaps no one knows that clients can lodge complaints. Do we, as members of the organization, inform our clients that they can formally lodge a complaint, either during the normal process of setting up the engagement, at contracting, or even when there is a dispute?

So perhaps, as an appeal to members, list this aspect as a differentiating criterion as part of your existing engagement with clients, even at the initial exploration stage. Then, during your coaching sessions, remind your clients of this right.

While we do enjoy a quiet year, let’s ensure it is quiet because of the benefits our clients gain, rather than because our clients are not aware of a fundamental right they have when working with a member of COMENSA.

Here’s to a peaceful year, for the right reasons.

As a final appeal, if anyone is willing to put their hand up and assume the role of Secretary for the Committee, please contact us.

Subject: Join Us for an Inspiring Session with Rosieda Shabodien – March 20

Greetings from the Western Cape!

March is a time of change—the leaves begin to turn, the days grow shorter, and a crispness fills the air. For some, this shift is invigorating; for others, it’s a reminder that colder days are ahead.

As the saying goes, “If you do not create change, change will create you.” What can you do this season—this year—to spark positive transformation?

This March, we are privileged to welcome Rosieda Shabodien, CEO of Actualize and Success Lab and author of What Women Want Coaches to Know: A Gender-Intelligent Coaching Approach. With her extensive experience in coaching and her passion for empowering women leaders, Rosieda will explore the relevance of gender-intelligent coaching today. She will discuss why this approach is critical in the coaching landscape and what we, as coaches and mentors, need to consider when supporting those we work with.

Join us for an insightful and enriching conversation!

📅 Date: Thursday, 20 March 2025
Time: 18:30 – 20:00
📍 Venue: Online (Zoom link to follow)

We look forward to seeing you there!

At COMENSA, we believe in the power of community. If you’re interested in joining the Western Cape Chapter Committee, shaping our direction, or sharing your expertise as a speaker, we’d love to hear from you. Please reach out via the About Us page on the COMENSA website.

Best wishes,

MARCH 2025 NEWSFLASH – KZN CHAPTER

Greetings from KZN.

On 27th February we hosted our first online event for the year, with over 50 attendees.  As is the practice in KZN, we started out with a mindful moment reflecting on the concept of appreciation, which we learned is more than just gratitude as it is recognizing and affirming the inherent value in people, efforts and moment.

Our speaker for the event was Industrial Psychologist Michael Cloete, also a KZN Member, whose topic was “The impact EQ on leadership success – a valuable coaching lens”.

Our takeaway from the session was a great definition of emotional intelligence as being an “emotional handbrake” or the ability to understand, manage emotions, solve problems under pressure and “think before you react”. During the session we used Mentimeter as the interactive tool to facilitate a co-created learning experience. The most important lesson from the “coaching lens” perspective was that we must coach the person and not his/her EQ.

In June/July we are hoping to host a face-to-face event which will form part of the KZN provincial roadshow. This fits in well with our vision of a bi – annual meet up of members.

KZN DATES for DIARIES:  27 March 2025 our next “Coffee Meet Up”, which will be hosted by one of our members at a local café/restaurant.  KZN – please watch your inbox for RSVP Link.

Our next on line event will be on 23 April 2025 (note this is a Wednesday). 

We hope you all enjoy the public holiday for Human Rights days on 21 March making it a long weekend for many. Enjoy a mini break with your loved ones.

Mindful Reflections

COMENSA Limpopo Chapter March 2025 Newsletter

Greetings from Limpopo!

We hope this message finds you well and thriving. As we enter March, we want to take a moment to reflect on the blessings we’ve experienced in our beautiful province. We’ve been fortunate to receive plenty of rain, and we are deeply grateful for this gift from nature. It’s always refreshing to witness the land coming to life again, reminding us of the cyclical nature of growth and renewal.

February Virtual Event Recap:

In February, we hosted our first virtual event of the year, and it was a resounding success! We were privileged to have Speaker Bernard Van Der Spuy lead a captivating session on “The Value of the Elements of The Time To Think Environment in Coaching.”

Bernard’s presentation provided invaluable insights into the Time To Think practices, which were developed by Nancy Kline. The focus of the presentation was to explore how we, as coaches, show up using the elements of Time To Think, and how these principles can help our clients expand their thinking to achieve meaningful solutions.

The attendees engaged actively, and the session was filled with thoughtful reflection and interaction.

We are thrilled with the turnout and the positive feedback we received, and we look forward to continuing to offer such valuable learning experiences in the future.

Looking Ahead:

As we move forward into March, we remain committed to providing valuable resources and events for all mentors and coaches in our community. We encourage you to stay connected, continue growing, and keep exploring new ways to support your clients in achieving their best selves.

We’re excited about what’s ahead and look forward to another fruitful month of learning, sharing, and development.

Stay Inspired, Stay Connected!

Message from the Chairperson

Dear COMENSA Members,

The world is facing one of its toughest challenging era when it comes to leadership. This can be seen through various unending conflicts which are causing a number of forced migrations and hunger. Unfortunately the people that suffer the most from these leadership ills are women and children. As human beings, one of the greatest gift we have is Love and our event for much, our topic was Leading with Love: The Power of Emotional Intelligence in Executive Coaching: How Emotional

Intelligence and Conscious Capitalism Transforms Leadership. We also described how our highest vibration after Love is Authenticity.

The attempt with this topic was to remind us as coaches that we play a far bigger role in society than we sometimes believe. The ills that are referred to above, are due to self-centred leadership that are not conscious about some of the strategies they employ in their effort of generating income.

There was a total of 103 members that registered and we had 89 members attending with a fair majority attending throughout the session. This was a tremendous success and we would like to thank each one of you for making time. We are looking forward to even more members attending COMENSA events and sharing ideas and insights to increase our wealth of knowledge. In the March, The GP Chapter will be hosting another event discussing a topic that affects all of us. The topic will be based on tax matters and will be presented by our chapter member Motshidisi Leotloenyane.

The details are:
Date:   25 March 2025
Time: 18:30 to 20:00
Presenter: Motshidi Leotloenyane – COMENSA Credentialed member
Topic: Know your TAX framework ( Basic Information for Coaches, Mentors & Trainers)

As we step into March, we are filled with excitement and gratitude for the continuous growth of our chapter. We welcome all new members who have recently joined us and those who have renewed their memberships. Your commitment to professional development and coaching excellence is what strengthens our community.

At COMENSA, we believe in lifelong learning and development. We encourage all our members to take the next step in their coaching journey by becoming credentialed coaches. More information on the credentialing process is available on the COMENSA website.


Why Credentialing Matters in Coaching

COMENSA encourages all members to pursue credentialing as it enhances credibility, demonstrates commitment to professional growth, and provides access to greater opportunities. Credentialed coaches:
✔ Stand out in the industry with recognized qualifications
✔ Gain trust from clients and organizations
✔ Receive continuous learning and professional development support

  • Ntombi Baart (New Eastern Cape Chapter Representative).

There will be a Call to COMENSA Members, specifically Credentialed Senior and Master Coaches with the relevant experience, to Apply for the COMENSA Board Strategy Review Facilitator opportunity, as part of planning for this Event.

We Move Forward with the LeaderEx 2025 Plans … Thanks to the LeaderEx Exposure of our MCSC Deputy Chair, Andre Retief, who has been participating in LeaderEx since its partnership with COMENSA back in 2016/7. As an outcome of all applications received from the Call-To-Action, we have scheduled Briefing Sessions with the various Coaches who will be participating in the One-on-One Coaching; Group Coaching or Facilitated Group Conversations; and as Speakers of the COMENSA-Facilitated Panel Speakers Event.

As we continue with the Appointment of the C.E.O under the Governance Guidance of our Board Secretariat (Melissa Voller), we are excited that we already received 4 x Applications before the 30th of April 2025 Advertisement Closing Date and finally a total of 9 x Applications at closing of the advertisement.

In relation to the Marketing Consultant, as previously and separately communicated to Members, 2 x Applicants (COMENSA Member and Non-COMENSA Member) were interviewed by our MCSC Chair (Sean Fenn), Board Strategy Task Team Lead (Fara Ally) and Treasurer (Robin Stone). This process has also provided us with the opportunity to better understand the Marketing Services history of COMENSA and the current Outsourced Service Providers as it stands … We have since extended the scope of the Service Providers to address the short- to medium-term solutions in alignment with the Board’s “Moving Forward To 2030” Strategy, given their broader service offerings. This is at the same time, while we finalise the scope of work for the Marketing Consultant.  

… In This Moment, when I Feel Extra-Ordinarily Proud of being a COMENSA Member, I Reflect on the Intention of the Creation of COMENSA. This was, indeed, in the Spirit of INCLUSIVITY for ALL of us, as Professionals in the Coaching and Mentorship Space that we Occupy with the Strong Belief of Greatness!

WEBSITE AND MEMBER PORTAL
We all know that good planning precedes success. We have been busy planning – now to work!
WEBSITE: After careful analysis and planning, phase 1 of the website repairs and refreshment is underway. Whilst the same professional look and feel which has become synonymous with
COMENSA will remain intact, there will be flow tweaks and changes made to make content access easier so keep your eyes open for the shifts over the next few months. Thank you to the many COMENSA members who have sent their suggestions and proposals to help us focus on the low-hanging fruit and make quick gains.
MEMBER PORTAL: The first changes are being made to the E2 member portal. The missing fields required for our SAQA submissions have been addressed. Thank you to the members who have updated their personal information on the site such as ID numbers, Addresses and provinces, contact numbers, gender and race.
If you haven’t done so, please log on and follow the prompts that will take you straight there.

The CPD system is currently under re-development to make the interface easier to understand and the award of points an automatic systems-driven process. The CPD Statement will reflect the various categories MCSC has to review for the credentialing process and provide the targets to achieve for each of the 6 types of CPD categories. Expect templates you can download to be completed offline and uploaded if you like to work that way on capturing CPD points. A written guide can be downloaded for use and instructional videos will be available later in the year.
Stay Engaged!

Let’s continue to equip coaches and mentors to make a lasting impact. Thank you for being part of this journey with us!

 Let’s thrive together in 2025!

Newsletter: May 2025
David Davis – Act Secretary

As I write this newsletter, two questions come to mind, which is odd for a coach.

Does anyone read the newsletter? I’m sure a few do, but I would be surprised if it is widely read.

Thus, my second question is: if very few read the newsletter, how can we receive feedback from members? How are we actively providing opportunities for members to engage not only with each other but also with the organisation? What are the feedback points, and how are they being shared?

I will assume that this is likely unique to the PCC, as we have not received any complaints – a good thing, but also, as we have previously noted, perhaps not. “Not” in the sense that perhaps the public and fellow coaches are not familiar with the role and remit of the committee. I would like to hope it is the former, rather than the latter, but in the absence of any “feedback,” we can only speculate.

We would like to take this opportunity to remind all members that the PCC’s remit is to investigate any allegations of wrongdoing against members, serving as the first point of contact for clients and members. We remain committed to this mandate.

As always, we have a vacancy or two; thus, if you are interested in serving on a committee, even if you have no experience, please reach out to us.

We welcome any comments, thoughts, and of course, potential committee members – please feel free to contact us via pcc@comensa.org.za

Research Committee
Embracing the Africa month through coaching. 
 
May is celebrated as Africa Month, a time to honour the continent’s rich and diverse heritage, culture, and arts. We commemorate International Coaching Week as well from the 12th to the 18th of May 2025.
 
As the Research and Development Committee, we promote African spirituality in the workplace through coaching by solicits feedback from coaching recipients to enhance methodologies while fostering lifelong learning grounded in both contemporary and indigenous African knowledge systems. This coaching approach employs culturally embedded narratives to contextualise challenges and foster growth, empowering employees by connecting personal and professional development with ancestral wisdom(Agrawal et al;2024).This committee advocates for leaders to receive training in coaching that emphasises authenticity, humility, and spiritual integrity, while embodying African spiritual values to foster cultural coherence.
Coaches inspired by African spirituality can employ diverse frameworks, such as the RASEA model, which is grounded in Ubuntu philosophy, to harmonise coaching practices with traditional values and contemporary competencies.
 
The internet is being utilised as a workspace by coaches worldwide, which presents opportunities for businesses. However, it also exposes issues that many coaches are not fully aware of and are struggling to adapt to, therefore, culture, which comprising of norms, values, and beliefs, profoundly impacts personality, thereby requiring coaches to exhibit cultural sensitivity when engaging with diverse individuals, taking into account their beliefs, norms, values, backgrounds, and experiences (English et al,2019).
In the workplace, African spirituality fosters personal goodwill, interconnectedness, and transcendence among employees (Dhiman et al,2019), as well as diversity and inclusion as a means of bringing all employees together while acknowledging and respecting their individual values. Coaches’ role in organisations is to foster a coaching culture, which is most effective when the organisation and its leaders are deeply committed to embracing diversity in all of its dimensions, ensuring fair and equitable practices, and creating a sense of belonging for all (Morukian,2023), while valuing diversity fosters understanding and acceptance of people with diverse backgrounds and perspectives (Dhiman et.al,2019).
Coaches also assist senior management and executives in understanding their attitudes and beliefs regarding the organization’s core values, vision, and mission. It is completely impossible to establish a coaching culture without their full support and the backing of their vision (Bakhshandeh & Rothwell,2024).
 
In honour of International Coaching Week, the R&D committee will hold a research webinar on May 29, 2025, with an emphasis on research methodologies. Professor Zondi, our guest speaker will be describing the various research methodologies, their benefits, and their functions in the study. Coaches who write research articles and other materials are welcome to attend. Register and get your R250 ticket as soon as the invitation is sent out. We look forward to hosting you.

Chapter Chatter
COMENSA Limpopo Chapter Newsletter – May 2025

We were delighted to host our Face-to-Face Event on Saturday, 14 April 2025, where coaches from across Limpopo gathered for a morning of connection, learning, and inspiration. Our Chapter Chair, Reuben Rammbuda, delivered a compelling talk on the power of credentialing with COMENSA, and Mia De Bruyn, our Chapter Secretary, presented the impactful “5 Chairs, 5 Choices” model for self-leadership and communication.

The introductions by each coach were a highlight — a beautiful reminder of the talent, heart, and passion that exists within our coaching community. New relationships were formed, collaborations sparked, and the energy in the room was one of unity and growth.

As we look ahead, we are excited to host our upcoming virtual event on Tuesday, 13 May 2025 from 18:00–19:30, featuring our guest speaker Dr. Elana Ndlovu, who recently earned her PhD in Entrepreneurial Coaching. We look forward to an insightful and enriching evening together online.

Theme: The Strength of Networking

This month, we commemorate Africa Month, a period dedicated to recognising the continent’s accomplishments and the contributions of its people. In the field of coaching, COMENSA stands out as one of the leading professional organisations for coaching and mentoring. Its mission is to empower leaders to unlock potential and create value that can positively impact lives.
 
The Strength in Connection: How Coaching Networks Empower Our Fraternity
Beyond individual practice, the power of coaching networks within COMENSA and the wider coaching fraternity is profound. These networks offer numerous benefits contributing to both individual growth and the collective advancement of our profession:
  • Shared Learning and Best Practices: Networks provide a platform for coaches to share experiences, discuss challenges, and learn from each other’s successes and failures. This collaborative environment promotes the dissemination of best practices and innovative approaches.
  • Peer Support and Mentorship: Coaching can occasionally be a solitary endeavour. Networks offer essential peer support, providing a safe space to discuss difficult cases, seek advice, and feel understood. They also facilitate mentorship opportunities, pairing experienced coaches with those new to the field.
  • Professional Development and Growth: Through network events, workshops, and shared resources, coaches can access ongoing professional development opportunities, staying updated on the latest research, tools, and ethical considerations.
  • Building Credibility and Visibility: Active participation in coaching networks enhances a coach’s professional credibility and visibility within the community. It provides opportunities for networking, referrals, and potential collaborations.
Advocacy and Collective Impact: A robust and connected coaching fraternity can collectively advocate for the profession, raising awareness of its value and contributing to ethical standards and professional recognition.
 
We encourage all members to actively engage with our network and explore other coaching networks within the broader community. Attend events, participate in discussions, and connect with your fellow coaches – the relationships you develop can be incredibly enriching and beneficial.
GP Chapter Event Recap: “AI in Coaching & The Power of Networks” – 29 April 2025

We were honoured to host Michelle De Villiers for an insightful webinar exploring the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Coaching. Ms. De Villiers adeptly navigated the current AI landscape, elucidating complex concepts and highlighting practical applications pertinent to our coaching practices.

Key takeaways from the session included:
  • Understanding AI’s Current Role: Ms. De Villiers clarified the types of AI tools currently available and their capabilities, stressing that AI serves as an assistant rather than a replacement for the human connection central to coaching.
  • Opportunities for Enhancement: We examined how AI can support coaches with tasks such as scheduling, resource curation, and preliminary client assessments (with appropriate ethical considerations).
  • Ethical Considerations and the Human Element: A significant portion of the discussion addressed the ethical implications of utilizing AI in coaching, highlighting the critical importance of maintaining client confidentiality, data privacy, and the irreplaceable value of human empathy and intuition.
  • Future Trends: She provided insights into potential future developments in AI and their possible impact on the coaching profession, encouraging coaches to remain informed and adaptable.
The webinar provoked lively discussions and furnished a valuable framework for understanding how technology can be thoughtfully integrated to enhance our coaching while adhering to our core principles. Our heartfelt appreciation goes to Ms. De Villiers for her expertise and engaging presentation.

Hello from the Western Cape!

Can you believe it’s May already?

This month carries special significance both here in South Africa and around the world—with notable dates such as Workers’ Day, Mother’s Day, and Africa Day. It’s a good moment to pause and reflect:
What has been meaningful for you so far this year?
How are you nurturing yourself and your coaching or mentoring practice?


As the Western Cape COMENSA Committee, we aim to support your growth and connection as professionals. Key roles of professional bodies like COMENSA is to offer opportunities for continuing professional development (CPD), create networks for meaningful exchange, and uphold professional standards. We keep this front of mind as we plan events that align with COMENSA’s vision and your development.

If there’s a topic you’d like us to explore—or if you’re interested in contributing as a speaker or volunteer—we’d love to hear from you!

Looking back on April:
We were privileged to host Rosieda Shabodien, who shared insights from her book What Women Want Coaches to Know, Gender-Intelligent Coaching Approach. Her session reminded us of coaching’s core principles and the importance of honouring the specific contexts our clients navigate.

Coming up in May:
We’re delighted to welcome back Paul Lawrence, author of The Tao of Dialogue and The Wise Leader: A Practical Guide for Thinking Differently about Leadership Development. Over the past five years, Paul has been conducting in-depth research into team effectiveness. In this session, he’ll share practical tools and methodologies that can help you strengthen your team coaching practice and refine your own coaching framework.

MAY 2025 NEWSFLASH

COMENSA KWAZULU-NATAL CHAPTER

Warm Greetings from KZN

We are heartened to report that our online event for April 2025 was well supported by 54 attendees.

Our esteemed speakers Tom Denysschen, a KZN Member and credentialled COMENSA Coach, and Kerry van Huyssteen did justice to their topic Using the Universal Healing Model as a Tool for Coaching. The model is based on the trilogy of mental, physical and emotional.
Fear, habit and belief arise from an interplay of two specific factors. Fear arises from the interplay of emotional and physical, habit from mental and physical and belief from mental and emotional.   
According to the model in order to release fear, habit or limiting belief, the opposite quality of mental, emotional or physical has to be challenged e.g. to release limiting belief one has to challenge the physical (look for proof) to break the belief.  We really appreciated their time in sharing this model with us.

KZN’s next online meeting is in June and we welcome all members to join us for our in-person, informal meet up where we grab a cup of coffee while networking. This will take place in the last week of May – date / venue TBC.

Wishing all our coaches and coach supervisors who are Mothers and Mother figures a very happy Mother’s Day on Sunday 11th May
