We work with people, not just performance

Incite’s sustainability coaching services offer flexible ‘thinking partnerships’ for sustainability practitioners who are navigating the complexity of driving change from within their organisations. Beyond performance, it creates a reflective space to explore the strategic, relational, and personal challenges that accompany sustainability leadership.

Typically delivered through weekly online sessions, the style adapts to the pace and needs of each individual, providing both practical support and fresh perspectives when the path forward is not yet clear. It blends the lead’s deep internal expertise with Incite’s wide experience to navigate complex change with greater clarity, confidence, and resilience.

Thinking Partnerships

Your passion for sustainability is infectious. Having access to your knowledge and experience has boosted my own learning, and made crafting our roadmap much clearer. Yvette Steyn  | Growth & Innovation Lead, Distell Group

Leading a sustainability transition can be lonely. It is always tough. Imagine having someone with decades of experience to talk to every couple of weeks or a WhatsApp away? Thinking partnerships allow us to support your deep granular insight with our broad experience across many companies and sectors. We invariably use them to support Sustainability Integration processes. Incite thinking partners helped, and are helping:

  • Tiger Brands develop an integrated sustainability strategy
  • Distell use Shared Value to support a local brand
  • SanlamAllianz embed the systems needed for IFRS S1 and S2 disclosure
  • MMH integrate sustainability across all their business units

Thinking Partnerships offer you the latest sustainability theory, methods and tools to support any aspect of integration. They are also highly flexible, affordable and the experience stays in the organisation. From one-off chat to year-long engagements, and anything in-between.

Individual coaching

Chief Sustainability Officers are at risk of burnout. Take passionate people, intractable challenges and organisational inertia. Blend, and turn up the heat…

While burnout can be acute, it’s more commonly felt as a spiral into apathy and depression. Whatever organisation we work for, it can’t afford this and neither can we.

We are here to make the world a better place. Sometimes, that starts with taking ourselves as seriously as we take our work.

This kind of coaching integrates the professional journey with the journey within. It is not easy, but immensely rewarding. I’d recommend it to any practitioner who wants to stop drowning and start swimming. Sustainability Lead, Financial services sector

Before co-founding Incite with Jonathon, Nicola took a five-year sabbatical to focus on the personal work needed to strengthen her sustainability practice. She ended up training as a traditional healer in Botswana, which turned out to be the most important sustainability training she has done.

Email Nicola if your professional is becoming too personal. Let’s chat and explore options.

Nature-based coaching

Sometimes the last thing we need is more information, tools or workshops.

We want something that reminds us why we do this work.

Nature-based coaching is not a luxury or a way to escape reality. It is a critical part of our practice.

Give us some notice and we will shift your coaching session into nature. With a little more time, we can design and facilitate a bespoke two-day session with your team in a deep nature setting.

We currently run nature-based coaching only within the Cape Peninsula (Cape Peninsula National Park and Silvermine Nature Reserve). We work with partners to facilitate deep wilderness or cultural immersions (five-days minimum) in other parts of Southern Africa.

Please contact Nicola.
