My name is Jokkie Gauché, and my first coach training was in 2007. Most of my early work involved coaching people on their Gallup strengths profile. Over the years, I did three more coach training courses and a coach supervision training course. I would say that most of my coaching fell into the life coaching category. I also worked on projects in corporates, universities, government organisations, and small businesses.

COVID-19 forced me to re-evaluate what I do. I was already over 70 and needed to train someone to take my place in the non-profit I was serving. So I started an online training journey spread over the year 2021 and also involved two other people. This experience opened my eyes to the new possibilities that were available to us online. Ilana was now trained and ready to go, and the training naturally evolved into a business relationship. She has a background in design but has volunteered for a Non-profit for several years and has done some Christian counselling.
