Make Work Work For You and Your Team

Work better, together.

It's frustrating when a team falls short of its potential, despite all the energy spent on hiring the right people, training them, and trying to keep them motivated.

Often, it’s not skills or strategy that are missing. It’s clarity, connection, and the confidence to speak up, set boundaries, and manage stress in healthy, sustainable ways.

That's where I can help.

I work with teams who want to thrive, not just perform.

Whether it’s through a seminar, workshop, online webinar, or a retreat, I help teams build the internal skills they need to succeed together:

✨ Emotional intelligence

✨ Conflict navigation

✨ Time and energy management

✨ Resilience in the face of pressure

✨ Healthier, more collaborative communication

Many of us are showing up to work pretending we’re coping.

We say “yes” when we mean “no”, we avoid conflict, we don't ask for help. We feel overwhelmed but keep on pushing. The result? Disconnection, burnout, and missed opportunities: not just for individuals, but for the entire organisation.

Through a blend of coaching and facilitation, I help teams identify the real blockers: the invisible patterns and behaviours that drain energy and hold people back. Then I offer them tools, insights, and actions that create lasting change.

My approach is grounded in the Wheel of Work, a practical framework that helps teams pinpoint what’s not working, what’s getting in the way, and how to shift it, together.

A variety of formats to choose from:

  • A focused team workshop to get everyone aligned
  • A deep-dive webinar series to build new habits over time
  • A seminar to kickstart new ways of working
  • Or a retreat to reconnect, reset and refocus

All formats are offered in-person or online, and can be customised to your needs, at your preferred venue.

Retreats can be hosted at Montusi Mountain Lodge in the Drakensberg, a spectacular setting for meaningful growth, or at a venue of your choice.

Themes include:

  • Make Work Work For You and Your Team: A hands-on experience to uncover what's blocking performance and how to fix it, using real-time insight, coaching, and collaboration.
  • Burnout Prevention and Recovery: A compassionate, actionable programme to help teams understand burnout, prevent it early, and build a more resilient work culture.

Let’s help your team go from disconnected to aligned, from burned out to balanced, from storming to performing.

  • "Thank you to Judy for giving her valuable time to run her workshops at our NGO in Soweto. Burnout often affects people who have constant exposure to societal issues. Judy is an inspiration, and has the ability to sensitively connect with people on any level." Ingrid
  • “The training was AMAZING. The staff loved it and took away so much.” Donna Govender, Jordan HR
  • “Judy is a very skilled life coach and trainer. She was able to put together an excellent programme to motivate and re-inspire our company’s sales team.” Kenneth Creamer, CEO, Creamer Media
  • “Judy's Make Work Work For You workshop was the best gift I could give myself - a focused few hours with no outside distractions to engage with some issues which had been bothering me but which I always felt I didn't have enough time to really think about. I left the workshop with a range of new ideas, and practical actionable items ranging from something I could do the very next day to steps I wanted to take over the coming weeks and months.” Mieke
  • “I thoroughly enjoyed Making Work Work for me. Since the workshop I have enjoyed lunch time breaks away from my laptop. The Wheel of Work exercise was such an eye opener for me. I am more mindful that I need to nuture myself outside of work too. How to restore and energise myself so I don't burn out is so important. I am more than just my work self. I highly recommend working with Judy, she is encouraging and you deserve to do this course for yourself.” Gwynnevere Salgado
  • “I loved the course – you gave us all the wonderful gift of your experience and expertise. I loved the way you held the space for us. I found the experience insightful and uplifting. And what a lovely group of people we were.” Workshop Participant
  • “This has been a life changing programme for me. I kept feeling that it was custom designed specifically for me: from the title which grabbed my attention immediately, to the course outline which spoke to my heart and soul, and then to the session content and application which has tested my being from the roots to the tips of my branches. I realise now that there are many souls who have been lost and searching just like me. After six weeks I feel alive, vibrant, hopeful and at ease for the first time that I can remember.” Brenda Scott
