Dina Marais
ACMC
GAUTENG, SAAs a speaker, Dina’s knowledge and expertise as a Neuro-Vitality Meta-Coach informs her and allows her to captivate her audience. Her topics focus on meaning, purpose, wellness, performance, being happy, effective communication, etc.
Dina understands the link between performance and the 3 bottom-lines that sustain successful organisations, namely profit, people and passion. She focuses on working with individuals and teams who want to perform at their fullest potential and achieve their highest goals while striving to satisfy these bottom lines.
With her underpinnings of the thinking environment, systems thinking, benchmarking and PNI (PsychoNeuroImmunology), she supports her coachees in their journey towards their own synergy between meaning, purpose, wellness and performance as well as for their teams.
In addition to her one-to-one and team coaching, she also consults to organisations with regards to doing PNI diagnostics, change management, facilitating and benchmarking.
An intrinsic part of her coaching is operating as a change agent and facilitator, allowing her to use a coaching-style approach for all interactions, consultations, trainings and interventions. Other talents to differentiate her are writing and inspirational speaking.
Dina’s passion for people being happy at work, is infused throughout her work. She believes a happy employee is a productive employee and this is as important and true for leaders as well as their teams. Her personal journey being challenging and rewarding, led her to develop determination, courage, ongoing appreciation, curiosity, learning and growth and the unshakable belief in people to overcome their challenges to unleash their potential.
These distinctive qualities also play out in her work where she coaches as she strives to create a supportive and inspirational space for transformational conversations. Her coaching is challenging, yet compassionate to inspire the coachees to transcend their comfort zones and achieve outstanding results.
