Meet Nobantu

Nobantu hails from South Africa. Being amongst the first five African Coaches globally to be accredited as a MCC by the International Coach Federation, and having experience in varied sectors, Nobanto is a sought-after facilitator for Leadership Development Programs and coaches internationally.

Nobantu follows the agenda of the client in her coaching. Through probing questions and sharing just in time observations, she takes clients deep and helps them to identify their blind spots and embrace their shadows. Clients go deeper into the sub-conscious and unconscious levels and dance with what emerges. She provides a safe and open space for focus and exploration. She moves on a continuum of being non-directive to directive depending on what is missing in the client’s system.

No matter what she does she gets to the HEART of the client and the HEART of the matter. As a Buddhist practitioner and teacher she supports her clients in integrating the head, heart, instinctual and spiritual intelligence. She does amazing heart work with clients based on the principles of UBUNTU ‘I am because we are’.

UBUNTU COACHING

Ubuntu Coach Training Programme

Ubuntu is an African ancient wisdom that emphasizes interconnectedness. Ubuntu in isiXhosa (my language) is Umntu Ngumntu Ngabantu, translated this means I AM BECAUSE WE ARE. This implies that I cannot be fully who I am destined to be, if you are not fully who you are destined to be. Nobantu Mpotulo is the first person in the world to develop Ubuntu Coaching. The training is for experienced, new and aspiring coaches. The training is over four sessions, each session is four hours and the sessions are offered through Zoom to benefit people globally.
