~ About Me ~

Hi, I’m Pippa

I’m an Industrial Psychologist and Career Coach based in Cape Town, South Africa. I’m deeply committed to helping individuals navigate their professional journeys with clarity, purpose, and fulfilment.

My journey into Industrial Psychology began at the University of Cape Town (UCT), where I earned a Bachelor of Business Science. Following graduation, I delved into the realm of online education, immersing myself in various facets of customer service, operations management, academic leadership, and learning design. It was during this time that I recognised the profound impact of one’s career on personal growth and fulfilment.

Driven by a passion for understanding the intricate dynamics between individuals and organisations, I pursued and completed my Masters degree at UCT, ultimately becoming a registered Industrial Psychologist with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA).

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of consulting and coaching clients from diverse industries spanning financial services, insurance, logistics, automotive, education, and retail sectors. My expertise lies in the various facets of Consulting Psychology. However, it’s my profound love for Coaching Psychology that truly fuels my professional journey. I find immense joy in partnering with individuals, helping them unravel the complexities of their emotions, behaviours, character strengths and language to drive positive personal and professional transformation.

Central to my practice is the belief in the transformative power of aligning personal values with professional pursuits. Integrity, compassion, courage, and curiosity serve as the cornerstone of my approach, guiding my every interaction and decision.

Through my private practice, I aspire to empower individuals to embrace their authenticity, unlock their potential, and carve out careers that resonate deeply with their aspirations and values. Whether you’re seeking clarity amidst career transitions, striving for personal growth, or navigating change, I’m here to support and champion your journey every step of the way.

Core values that I believe in

1. Integrity

I choose to do what is right even when it might be uncomfortable. This is at the forefront of my ethical responsibilities as a healthcare professional.

2. Compassion

I believe in treating others and myself with a sense of loving-kindness. For me, practicing compassion is a daily practice of acknowledging and accepting our humanity and taking meaningful collective action when confronted with challenges, discomfort or suffering.

3. Courage

I choose to open myself up to and brave the unknown. I choose to embrace discomfort openly and with gratitude. Embodying courage is also a sense of acceptance for who I am and how I interact with the world around me.

4. Curiosity

I love to learn and ask questions. I believe in the importance of always being on a learning journey. I embrace the vulnerable act of making and uncovering new discoveries, both personally and professionally.

“ My mission is to facilitate heart-centred conversations that inspire professionals to ask themselves questions instead of questioning themselves. I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space for cultivating self-trust and uncovering the profound gifts that come with personal growth. ”

SUCCESS STORIES
FROM my CLIENTS

As a consultancy, we have worked with Pippa in the delivery of numerous projects for a diverse group of major clients, ranging from Insurance, Banking, Shipping and Automotive industries. She has been instrumental in the custom design and facilitation of training courses, leadership assessments, coaching and other organisational development activities and consulting. Pippa is unparalleled in her proactive and helpful delivery of services and will provide quality outcomes that have so far always exceeded our expectations. She is more than a delight to work with and her willing, friendly, yet highly professional manner instills a sense of trust with every individual, team, and organisation she encounters. The integrity that she brings to her work as an Industrial/Organisational Psychologist, together with an excellent command of language and communication skills, makes her the ideal partner to have on board in delivering effective solutions in the complex world of work. We look forward to a long-standing professional association with Pippa, she has been invaluable to our organisation.

Pippa is an incredibly passionate, talented, dedicated, and knowledgeable professional always seeking out opportunities to make a positive contribution. Although these qualities alone differentiate Pippa, her wholehearted commitment to ethics and her personal conviction to see every person she engages with as an honourable human being, always leaves an impression on me. Having worked with and alongside Pippa for more than 4 years, I am proud to be one of her associates and rely on her unique gifts and capabilities to complement my own when we partner to impact the lives of our corporate and individual clients.

Balancing the needs of people and a business focused on moving to profitability is a nearly impossible task. In the time I’ve spent working both directly and indirectly with Pippa, I’ve never encountered someone quite as capable of juggling the two in a way that is characterised by empathy, considered thought and deliberation, as well as an uncanny ability for comprehensive follow-through. I’ve had the opportunity to work with Pippa on a number of projects that include: large-scale change management across multi-functional teams; resource planning and utilisation to support a 100% increase in output year-on-year; process development and improvement initiatives; as well as the development and roll-out of key people management training and leadership initiatives. In each of these instances, Pippa has demonstrated the ability to pull together multiple moving parts and complexities into a thorough and well-planned project that provides not only clarity to all affected team members, but also tangible mechanisms to drive accountability and ensure delivery on time. As a consummate professional and engaging thinking-partner Pippa’s work is characterised by a considered approach that seeks to respectfully challenge decision-making to drive for the best possible solutions and outcomes.

We partnered with Pippa over the last 3 months. We contracted her for work on our Competency Framework and for design and development of our People Management Training. Pippa's work has exceeded all our expectations! Pippa's attention to detail, content relevance and ability to create engaging blended approach material for our team needs to be acknowledged and has been incredibly well received from the team. Pippa's collaborative style and ability to deliver is something I admire and appreciate and I look forward to working with her again soon.

Given the daily complexities we are currently facing and just how heavy things feel in the world, being resilience is more important than ever!

Resilience is the ability to remain internally regulated and maintain an equilibrium in the pursuit of important goals, while still being challenged. Resilience is for every day, not only the tough days!

Resilient professionals demonstrate similar behaviours in their lives and at work. Here they are for you to be inspired by and begin adopting in your own lives.

🧘‍♀️ Resilient professionals understand the importance of looking after themselves and practising self-care. They know the bi-directional relationship between physical and mental health.

☁️ They focus on what is in their control and sphere of influence and don’t stress about the things that they can’t control.

🪷 Resilient professionals practice acceptance. Acceptance involves understanding what is happening, labelling one’s emotions and understanding how the situation is making you feel before starting to think about what you can do to manage what it is your control. Acceptance is not resignation!

👯 Resilient professionals know that they can’t do things alone and are not afraid to ask for help.

🤔 They are flexible in their thinking. They can change their perspective and adopt a growth mindset.

🙏 They practice gratitude and intentionally look for the good in situations, people and in their lives. This doesn’t mean pushing down the hard feelings and ignoring their emotions just to say that they are grateful. They acknowledge what they feeling and know that there is goodness and beauty even in the mess.

What behaviours do you embody? Which ones could you grow and develop some more?

I N T E N T I O N

Can you believe it’s February already? It is quite hard to believe that we are in the second month of the year.

For me, entering this new month served as a gentle yet important reminder to prioritise how we invest our time and fill the pages of our diaries. It’s all too easy for days to slip by without tending to our essential priorities, including rest, leaving us feeling perpetually behind.

How can be intentional about how to fill the pages of your diary this month?

Reach out, talk, seek support, and prioritise self-care.

Together, we can break the stigma surrounding mental health and create environments that nurture our minds. Let’s make every day a day for mental health. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #workplacewellness #youarenotalone

O V E R W H E L M When you’re feeling overwhelm

O V E R W H E L M

When you’re feeling overwhelmed, whether it be during a busy day at work or because of everything happening in your life, it is necessary to take a moment to pause. Writing down and processing what’s causing you to feel overwhelmed is a helpful way of getting your thoughts out and beginning to reorganise them.

When we take the time to move from a stressed state where our thoughts are running wild into our body through writing, we can begin to make sense of what’s happening. It can allow ourselves the space to think clearly about what we can do to slowly move out of that overwhelming state.

Here are some journal prompts that you can ask yourself next time you’re feeling overwhelmed and don’t know where to start. #overwhelm #journaling #stressreliever

C H A R A C T E R Character is the essence of who

C H A R A C T E R Character is the essence of who we are. It’s the part of our personality that people tend to admire, respect and cherish. We all have unique characters, that when we acknowledge and intentionally embody, can have many positive benefits across all elements of our wellbeing. It’s helpful to know that we can develop our character too. I’m going to explore the concept of character and developing our character in a series of posts. Ask yourself, “What are my unique character strengths?” 📷 @viastrengths
