Shirley is a driven and successful business owner and coach. She believes in the dedicated and persistent pursuit of passion that ripples into far-reaching benefits for others. She has lived this belief in her own life and uses business coaching as an effective medium to help other Business Owners and Executives realise their own potential and dreams.

She was born in KwaZulu-Natal and attended Girls High School (GHS) in Pietermaritzburg. In 1985 she graduated from the University of Cape Town. Subsequently, she worked in Johannesburg heading up the Industrial Relations Department of what was then the biggest retailer in SA: the OK Bazaars and Hyperama. After moving back to KZN in 1993, she started her own business consulting in Industrial Relations, Strategic Management and Training and Development. She did a stint as a CCMA Commissioner and owned a couple of small businesses before taking up the ActionCOACH franchise. Shirley is married to Bobby and has three children - Justine, James and Kelly.

Shirley’s life experiences have taught her many skills that contribute to her astute insight as a business coach, not least of which, is the courage, dedication and self-belief required to build a successful business. Shirley chose to forgo security and habit for, what was then, a nurtured and softly spoken dream, to help others build successful businesses and careers that support their dreams and chosen life style. She navigated her way through all the usual challenges of building a business, and balancing a large and boisterous family. It was on her way to her current success that Shirley gained some of her most valuable tools for couching.

Shirley regards it as a privilege to be able to share her world-class expertise with others. Everyday she is driven by the opportunity to share your journey and forge a happier and healthier economy for our beautiful country.
