Esme is thorough in her coaching and approaches it with sensitivity and diligence, getting the best results for her clients. Her high level of skill has helped me navigate many challenging scenarios and effected long lasting change in all areas.
Dear Esme, I wanted to thank you so much for the coaching you have given me over the past few months. It flew by so quickly! I can see the beginning of the transformation in myself and I'm really grateful to have had the guidance from you. It is just the start of the journey!
Hi Esme I Just want to say thank you. Your training in coaching was very inspiring and I have learnt allot. What you have thought us is the future of change in going forward in business and in our personal lives. I immediately started using coaching as a technique with my team members and it has given me great results. I am a support person in my area and my entire team looks up to me for solutions and now I am able to use coaching to help them find the answers within themselves. I hope and pray that in the future I will get the opportunity again to learn under you so I can be a better coach. Once again thank you, Kind Regards
I joined Esme Coaching Workshop which was informative and rejuvating to me in my personal life and career. The content of the session was both interesting and useful. I highly recommend Esme as both personal Coach and Trainer.
Firstly let me take this time to thank you for the coaching session we had. Through that period I got to be aware of my potential and other possibilities that I was not aware of. The coaching that Esme does is not limited to business only but it goes deeper into helping people believe in themselves. Not only is she a great coach but is also a great person who is able to listen, give you time to explore all options around your difficulty. I would therefore recommend Esme to all those who would like to be taken through the journey of self awareness. As Esme will say "COACHING IS NON ADVISORY". This will help you own up to all the choices you make.
Thank you
Thank you, Esme for the amazing coaching sessions you had with me. I met Esme when I just started my coaching career, and it was a time in my life when I was struggling to get my coaching business off the ground. Esme’s coaching and her continuous mentoring helped me grow through my coaching career.
Through my day to day interactions with Esme Witbooi she has displayed high levels of energy in the coaching sessions coupled with her distinctive warm smile during and after the sessions. Over and above these attributes she has a way to find the key to unlock ones potential in achieving goals in life .She believes in building rapport with her coaches and undoubtedly asks the right questions at the right time in her coaching sessions.Above all, she is very professional in her coaching career. I believe coaching to her is not only a career but a calling from the above. I won't hesitate to recommend her as one of the original, real coaches and live transforming Coaches in South Africa today.
It is with great honour that I write this recommendation for Miss Esme Witbooi. I have known Esme for about 7 months and over the course of the past months she has provided me with a good amount of support, consultations and guidance within my work. Esme has a gift of bringing out the best in people. She is a genuine catalyst of transformational coaching. This being in business and personal development. I can only imagine how impressed and fortunate her clients feel every time when she consults them as a coach. Esme has a caring, compassionate and insightful coaching skill. She is able to see the extraordinary in the ordinary. Esme can teach others how to visualize and achieve their goals, and that is truly her gift and the one that I admire the most. With respect to Esme's personal character, she is a person of integrity, generosity, compassion and kindness. She is goal driven, dedicated, intelligent and kind - these qualities is what makes her clients satisfied and proud.
The fastest way to build people is to train them. People perceive the organization believes in them when the organization invest in training their personnel; and they are more productive because they are more highly skilled. Doing the job right, requires the right tools. Investing also in the right equipment will equip your people to be more productive, and boost their work-place morale. The above mention is the area Esme Witbooi has proven to be an exemplary leadership trainer and executive coach. She is an excellent resource person in building, training and developing personnel and leaders in different spheres. Patronizing the resourcefulness of her expertise and professionalism will move an individual or organization from survival to significance. I have learned so much from her highly and rare leadership and coaching skills. I recommend her for any company who believes in developing people and increasing productivity.
When you think about influential, passionate and professional that is the Esme Witbooi I know. Esme has been coaching for many years and it is evident when you meet her. She beliefs in results and helping others to discover themselves through Coaching and Mentoring. Esme beliefs everyone has the resources within themselves to achieve their goals and this belief makes her unique and dynamic in her approach to coaching. She is an amazing Leadership Coach, Leadership Trainer and Mediator.
Esme Witbooi has coached me within the Tsebo group internship program for business development interns. The coaching had made a significant impact within my career thus far, as i now have clear career goals formed through the SMARTER coaching model. In addition to this, the coaching has provided me with a clear understanding of the relationship which has to be maintained between the coach and coachee. Furthermore, Esme has helped me realize my full potential within this internship program, by challenging my thinking and career goals.
I had two coaching lesson with Esme from which I learned a lot. on the last day of our session we did a revision of what we did in our last session. On our last lesson we learned about different coaching questions, which ones are used in coaching and which ones are not. we also learned about reflection and clarification and al5how to give feedback back to a coachee. Also about setting goals and we had real life coaching amongst each other with her guidance on how to do it. both the two session were transformational
Had two sessions of transformational coaching with Esme Witbooi. I always thought coaching was not that necessary, but after those sessions I would definitely attend coaching sessions in the future. During and after the sessions I have learned how to communicate better, how to be a better person in relationships, how to be a good listener, that goals always have to have a time-frame to be achievable. learned how to build rapport, it has taught me how to be non - judgmental and instead have a better understanding. This was a self discovering journey towards unlocking my potential and finding ways how to achieve my long and short term goals.
Before I met Ms Witbooi, I had no idea what coaching is, what it entails and most importantly, how its done. After we had a Transformational Coaching (Foundations of Coaching), I realized that the following is quite important - the importance of coaching - knowing the importance of life values - how coaching differs from counselling, mentoring and training - basic principles that should be applied when it comes to coaching -knowing ways how to give feedback after coaching - and how does one set short and long term goals
I had the opportunity to be a part of a two-day coaching session facilitated by Esme at Tsebo Skills Academy earlier this year. She showed great interest in my team and I's personal and professional growth. She's always polite and makes it easy to talk to her. She facilitated those session in such a way that we were about to discuss and give feedback as it felt like a safe place for that. She is passionate about her teachings and they have, and continue to, helped me in my journey as an individual as well as a Business Development Intern at Tsebo. I learned a lot about myself and peers. It also allowed me to understand how to deal with different kinds of people. I would definitely attend another coaching session with her
Esme has great coaching skills and has helped myself and my team reach our full potential with regards to the targets that we had set for ourselves.
Dear Esme Below is my recommendation as requested. Firstly I would like to say Thank you so much for giving the team an opportunity to learn and be informed about Coaching processes and procedures, this has personally changed my life for the better. I would definitely recommend one to attend your coaching session and presentations. firstly will be because of the energy you bring and the passion when presenting to people. Esme has excellent communication skills. Her written work is both clear and concise, as well as interesting to read. She demonstrated her oral articulateness in the discussion sections that were an integral part of the course Each discussion section focused on a particular coaching dilemma. coachee was required to analyze morally problematic situations, and to develop and argue for their own ethical views with regard to the issue in question. Esme was highly proficient in applying the course material in analyzing the problem situations. She always explained her views very concisely and gave supporting arguments that were both clear and persuasive. Esme also demonstrated good teamwork skills in group assignments. Thank you Regards Lulama
I was an introvert TL when I met Esme, during 1 on 1 sessions at the company I worked. Her coaching style brought out qualities I didn’t know I had. The fruits of her sessions showed and still shows in my personal growth which directly reflects in my leadership skills - which is great! Her approachable, friendly yet professional character makes you feel comfortable & open to criticism and genuine praise when due. How she digs deep & focuses on relevant areas of focus keeps you interested and looking forward to each session. When our time came to an end, her influence didn’t stop there - I could then continue to apply the knowledge & natural coaching/leadership styles she brought out in me - which assisted me in making my staff realize their full potential & progress in their career paths. She shares her knowledge & experiences freely. Esme plays a positive part in so many peoples careers & personal growth. I hope to have the privilege of working with her again in the future. To those who are yet to attend her sessions - expect to be hooked, as she opens up some exciting and interesting topics which will benefit you in many ways forever.
Esme is an inspirational and phenomenal woman. I learnt so much from her transformational coaching sessions. I learnt more about self-awareness and the importance of self-development and investing in yourself not only in your profession but in your personal capacity as well. She has a very calming aura about her and she always had a big inviting smile. The mental tools she has equipped me with will forever stick with me and they have already had a great impact on my career and personal life. Its with my greatest pleasure that I recommend Esme as a phenomenal coach.

I spent two life changing days with Esme, her teaching skills are impeccable. She respects other peoples decisions and opinions.One thing I got from her that will forever change my life is * People are not their behavior* We often tend to associate or tie people to their mistakes and forever keep on referring to them as what they did. I am grateful to have crossed paths with someone as remarkable as her . I believe whoever gets to meet will have something to take away. More than anything she loves what she is doing hence its easy for her to impart so much knowledge on people she meets.
I spent two days with Esme as part of a Transformational Training Workshop at work. Esme is very skilled at she does, she is passionate, and she challenged my thought process at every turn during our group coaching sessions. What I loved most, was that the coaching wasn’t limited to a professional context. All the principles she taught on, can easily be transferred into one’s personal life. Thank you for the coaching sessions, your outlook on life is extremely infectious. I highly would recommend Esme as a coach.
Kindly allow me to thank you sincerely for the coaching I received from you. I have been impacted in ways that I had not imagined I would have been. From one coach to another. Thank you for the courage to speak truth into my life when needed. It has not been easy but daily I see the results of a mindset change in my personal life as well as my career adjustments. Esme Witbooi has coached me on some of the most invaluable and life-changing topics, including but not limited to- recognizing self-worth, getting unstuck in a situation in life, career coaching. I wish her the very best in all her future endeavors. May many benefit from her experienced coaching.

I started working with Esme about 8 months ago and it feels like I've known her forever, As a colleague, she has taught me allot and I've learned so much from her about personal development. She is incredible and a very generous person. With regards to her Leadership Facilitation and Couching Skills, she does this with great passion and it comes naturally to her. I love working with Esme because of her Coaching teachings and positive influence she has on others
Thank you for an amazing and empowering two days of Transformational Coaching Training. This topic has opened up my mind to think from a different perspective. Thank you for this valuable impartation of knowledge. I'm excited to begin Coaching with my Coachees.
I met Esmé when we were both Human Resources Managers at HAL to 800 – 1000 officers and crew. Esmé is very adept in coaching and training, both of which she does with passion and flair. These are skills that often take a long time to develop, but seemed to come naturally to her. Both Esmé’s coaching and training skills are assets that would be a great complement to any team
I did have the pleasure to work with Esme on board the cruise ship Carnival Glory, at the time she was corporate trainer in the HR department and i was Staff Captain. Esme always demonstrated to be up to any tasks acting with extremely professionalism and positive attitude. Polite, available, motivated, she has always been above any expectations
I have found Esme to be very professional, efficient & effective in her coaching.
Esme Witbooi is a very talented coach who is a pleasure to work with. She was a client of mine for SEO on her website and her energy and commitment to helping her coaching clients was very apparent. I am sure that anyone she works with will benefit from her knowledge and drive to develop herself and her clients to achieve their business and personal goals.Well done Esmie Witbooi.
This serves as a reference to the facilitation skills, conduct and demeanour of Esme Witbooi.
We met Esme Witbooi for the first time when she facilitated the Changed Mindset workshop as organised by the WCED. She was a breath of fresh air and colleagues immediately found rapport with her. People flocked towards her mesmerising ambience and had very engaging conversations with her. Esme has the ability to induce great soul searching within oneself and lets one actually discover your self-worth.
I have found my encounters with Esme to be of great help for myself personally, professionally as well as psychologically. Esme gave me “permission” to be myself again, to allow myself to be vulnerable and to let go of things that I cannot control. The topics covered such as Common characteristics of Changed Leaders,Team Dynamics, Communication through the Change Cycle and Conflict Resolution was immensely insightful and productive.
This is a direct quote from a colleague, Francis Johnson, who also attended Esme’s sessions: ““Esme’s training was really insightful and relevant. She has a vibrant personality and presents her sessions with much vigour as well as input from her personally, which made sessions more real and relatable versus clinical. The sessions were interactive and excluded no one. I would recommend her anytime to motivate our youth as they can just benefit from her talks and sessions,”
I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Esme in any projects she wants to tackle.
