Jenny Hoggarth

Jenny is an executive coach and business leader with 19 years’ full-time coaching experience.

Jenny is regarded as a founding member of the coaching profession in SA and has been practising as an executive coach since 2000.  She coaches executives and high potential leaders at all levels in local and global organisations in South Africa, Africa and Europe. Before starting her coaching business, Jenny held executive positions and specialised in the start-up of new businesses for international companies. Over the years, she won numerous sales and general business management awards both locally and internationally. During her tenure as an executive coach, she has contributed to the personal and professional growth and success of many diverse business leaders in a wide range of both South African and international corporate companies. She considers coaching an individualised, adult learning partnership that can transform the way one thinks about self, life and business. Creating a safe space for reflection and adult learning, exploring new perspectives, considering the impact of our language, body and emotions on our choices, and transforming our current paradigms are some of the most important factors that inform her coaching. She currently coaches for 80% of her time. For the rest, she takes on executive assignments, invests in small businesses and works as a trustee for a large developmental trust. By maintaining an active involvement in business and investment she remains current and also empathetic to the challenges that her executive clients face. She holds a master’s degree (professional development) in executive coaching through iCoach and the University of Middlesex, and is regularly invited to teach and supervise on coaching programmes. She loves learning and her most recent academic qualification was in 2015 (Post Graduate Diploma of Ontological Coaching, Newfield Institute, Australia). Jenny says that for her, coaching is not only a full-time career, it is an absolute privilege during which she gets to share the lives and businesses of many amazing people and in this way, continue to support her personal vision of positively impacting our world, one person at a time. She is absolutely passionate about her work and is a great believer in actively choosing the life she lives. She is a keen observer of the human race and apart from her work, loves nothing more than her family, travel and reading (in that order!)
