I’ve benefited from Gwynedd’s sage advice at a couple of points in my career, but it was only recently when, in full-blown mid-career meltdown (wrong role, wrong company, what is wrong with me?), I approached Gwynedd for some guidance and got to appreciate the full extent of her coaching arsenal. Aside from helping me articulate the motivations and decisions that had led me to that point, Gwyn also – just as importantly – helped me reconfirm my strengths and regain some much-needed confidence and sense of purpose. Gwynedd is not just smart, articulate, and a skilled listener, she’s also been there. Done that. And that gives her a degree of professional insight and empathy that feels all too rare these days. Without any self-important, #hashtag-y, guru-esque trappings, either. Just considered, actionable, recommendations that help illuminate the path ahead. If you feel you could do with a well-placed nudge – or a kick in the pants – career-wise, this is the woman to speak to.

Navigating a career is tough! Thank you Gwyn for your insights – I have benefitted so much from working with you.

Tracey
HR Consultant

I started working with Gwyn in January 2018 because I needed to find a job that I loved (first prize: hopefully related to fashion) or fall in love with my current job again. Gwyn helped me do both. With Gwyn, I was able to identify what in the fashion industry made me excited – Sustainable Fashion – and how I could use my current PR skills to tap into that. She set tasks for me that were manageable with my workload and actually helped me realise that if I found what I loved, I would also find the time and then some to make it happen. I have not looked back and my career and work life is in a completely different space thanks to Gwyn – also knowing she is a phone call or email away is very reassuring.

Gwyn, your invitation to help people re -discover/invent/orientate/uncover themselves as it relates to work and life will be a gift to many who will benefit from your unique combination of coaching, consulting, counselling and HR skills which deliver practical results and really do help people turn career challenges into opportunities. I know that you both evoke the natural wisdom of your clients AND…help them to re-work their marketing documents and value propositions so that they can present their best selves and offerings in the market place. You have the ability to take people from muddle to marvel…

Juliette
Executive Coach

Gwyn is an incredible coach who helped me reconnect to parts of myself with regards strengths, talents and skills that I was completely unaware of. She was pivotal in assisting me to not only take the blinkers OFF but to explore each opportunity before me with a curiosity and openness that has led me down so many exciting and growth-filled paths since. Thank you Gwyn!

Tania
Counselor & Social Innovation Entrepreneur

I worked with Gwynedd after relocating to South Africa from overseas, and hired her to help me explore my career options and help me improve and realize my skills. During this time she assisted and advised me on a wide range of interview techniques and career strategies that later proved to help me immensely. Gwynedd is one of those naturally inspiring people. She has strong interpersonal skills and a unique capacity for empathy. I would happily recommend her to anyone looking to discover his or her purpose and potential.

Janine
Floral Designer

Gwynedd has the unusual ability to establish trust. She listens carefully to make sure she understands both you and the issue. Gwyn, supported me through my retrenchment, she reminded me that this was an opportunity to get to know myself better and find work that was better in line with who I am. Gwyn helped me prepare for my interviews, negotiate my package and assisted with my CV writing to help create that positive first impression. Gwynedd is insightful, and a pleasure to work with.

Nikki
IT Product Manager

Meeting Gwyn was for me one of those turning points that one experiences two or three times in one’s life, that ‘lucky accident’ that fundamentally changes your path. I was referred to Gwyn through a series of connections, each link of which passed on the strength of their faith in her excellent offering. At the time when I met her I had reached a nexus in my life, a psychological and financial low point in my early forties where I had nothing much to show for twenty years of being a serial entrepreneur. It had been suggested I just ‘get a job’ but this seemed an impossible dream… Gwyn helped me on many levels. Practically, we repackaged my offering, got my social proof and LinkedIn status up to date. On a deeper level she helped me to audit my life and rediscover the very many talents and skills that I did have to offer, but could not see due to my state of personal confidence…I am doing my finest work ever and am filled with happiness, satisfaction and health, not to mention earning the money I need to comfortably nurture my financial security. I cannot overstate the role the Gwyn has had in making this all manifest. For that I am truly grateful.

Shane
Digital Strategist

Gwynedd Theron assisted me in applying to Psychology Masters. What once seemed like a daunting and tedious task of having to write autobiographies, personal statements, updating my ANCIENT out of date C.V., shifting my head space into a completely different gear as well as preparing for the dreadful interview processes – Gwynedd was my knight in shining armor! Initially I thought I had an idea of what Gwynedd did as a career coach, however having experienced it first hand, it is an experience that only one who has been through the process can truly understand…Through this process Gwynedd was able to encapsulate my personal strengths, experiences as well as bring to light an honest reflection of me. What was riveting was her ability, through brilliant and professional writing skills, to capture who I am through pure words on a page…I would recommend Gwynedd to anyone who is needing some guidance or assistance (even if you think you can tackle a certain task on your own – which was my initial thinking) with any work/academic/career support! Gwynedd you are truly talented in the field of coaching and I look forward to working alongside you again. Thank you for all your hard work, words of encouragement and assisting me every step of the way!

Tarah
Student Clinical Psychologist

I was referred to Gwyn by a ‘Life Coach Matcher’. From our very first meeting I found her to be very professional and perceptive of what I required in the short time we had before I relocated. She quickly identified and planned what my needs were and by our second meeting I was already realising the benefits of her coaching. My confidence grew and I discovered skills I hadn’t realised I had as well as how to present these skills in different formats (eg CV, LinkedIn and interviews). She gave valuable assistance with my personal branding to help with my transition from being self-employed to entering the job market as well as job interview rehearsals, job search strategies, upgrading my LinkedIn profile and network training. I would highly recommend Gwyn and am very grateful for her assistance and input.

Greg
Entrepreneur

I had a few sessions with Gwynedd…after returning from 2 years abroad. She assisted me with putting together a resume and prepared me for future interviews. The skills that I learned from Gwyn have been very valuable and have allowed me to find a new job that suits me. I would recommend her to anyone as a career coach, especially during job hunting.

Nicola
Financial Advisor

I just want to say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! for your help with this…I would not have been able to deliver such a solid motivation without your guidance and I really really appreciate it immensely!

Sam
PR Account Manager

Click on Gwynedd Theron’s LinkedIn profile. Gwyn is a very well trained business coach that will ensure you and your business only moves in the desired direction you intend it to move.

Darren
Business Owner

Gwyn brings a tremendous amount of wisdom and guidance to those parts of a business that are so often neglected in the day to day demands that unfortunately too often take precedence over our own wellbeing.

Dale Tomlinson
CEO, Advertising Agency

Gwynedd assisted and guided me through career challenges and opportunities in the most caring and professional way. I had no idea what a science it is to position oneself in an ideal marketplace. I only have positive feedback for the well-structured wealth of psychological and professional help she offers. What I enjoyed most is the pin pointed guidance (in a time when I was totally confused), whilst still leaving the responsibility of intellectual property with me. The result of my sessions with Gwynedd was more than just a highly professional CV, I started dreaming again, feeling positive about what I have to offer and feeling confident to ‘ask for what I need’.

Andre
Architect

In addition to offering HR services, Gwyn practices as an Integral- and Career Coach. By combining her service offerings she contributed significantly towards both employee performance-improvement and integration of a work-culture change, in particular assisting with the transition towards improved interactions between THB’s Management Teams and their Employees. The new human capital management systems together with the improved employee-morale as result of Gwyn’s time at THB left me in a strong position to drive the HR programs and initiatives forward when her contribution became of a remote/ off-site nature; as such, she remains our preferred-HR supplier going forward.

Kirsten
HR Manager

I have worked with her at two agencies now and am not entirely sure how Gwyn has managed to maintain her ability to empathise and show compassion in such a cut throat industry. Somehow she balances a natural kindness and warmth with a stern wisdom and no BS attitude and ends up resolving conflicts and guiding lost souls wherever she goes. Gwynedd is the best sounding board and problem solver I have worked with and is invaluable to employees and employers alike.

Wendy
UX Contractor

Gwynedd played an integral role in my career development….and assisted me tremendously with people management, streamlining processes and the art of decision making – all inherent in my senior role at the company. Having a great deal of industry knowledge herself, Gwyn understood the nature of the business and various obstacles one faces in the agency environment and had an incredible view and insight into effective relationship building & management with my clients and fellow colleagues. Aside from her professional approach and guidance, Gwyn was so easy to talk to and relate with which made me feel extremely comfortable throughout the time we worked together. Thank you, Gwyn!

Alexis
Digital Director

Gwyn has been an inspirational mentor and coach to me…As my career coach, she has assisted me with career planning and tactical employment advise to help navigate career opportunities – offering me terrific guidance in these areas where I had none before. She also assisted with my transition into new positions acquired through promotions.  With life coaching I gained invaluable self-knowledge through introspection – Gwyn challenged me on my habitual thinking, and provided direction and clarity during times of confusion and self-doubt. Ultimately Gwyn has left the ‘action’ part to me, as a good coach should, and that is when I have grown. Gwyn knows when I have needed kid gloves and when a more no-nonsense approach was required. I have grown tremendously during my time of knowing her and I credit her guidance and support over this period. I highly recommend Gwyn as both a mentor and career coach.

Joanne
Accountant

Gwynedd took me from clueless to clued up, quickly! Her coaching provided the guidance and instilled the confidence which helped me to secure my first job. Thank Gwynedd!

Rowan
University Tutor

Two years ago, we landed some great clients and we were forced to grow the company really quickly, with additional staff recruitments… Long story short, I was out my depth and called on some help from a great strategic HR consultant, Gwynedd Theron. I remember the first few months thinking how on earth did we get this far without HR help. Gwynedd was a breath of fresh air, from getting employment contracts cleaned up, to regular performance reviews, assisting us with promoting, firing and hiring.
Not only the practical elements, but the emotional help of dealing with people, being the sounding board to ensure that every decision we made was a fair, unemotional, unbiased decision for the future growth of the company and ultimately that person.

Gary Willmot
Business Owner, Digital Agency

Life coaching with Gwyn has been the best investment for both my professional career and personal growth – Thanks

Brigitte
Entrepreneur

Gwynedd provided me with career guidance that not only guided me on my career journey but helped me identify my values, strengths and weaknesses. She is both professional and empathetic and her coaching was of value and relevance to me.

Casey
Marketing & Content 

Gwynedd consulted as a HR Expert and Career Management Coach while I was a Senior digital producer at Urbian, a digital innovations agency in Cape Town. Simply put, I have the utmost respect for Gwyn and think the world of her. She has not only been professional and exceptionally knowledgeable in HR related matters and the agency, but also a world class life coach to me. She has provided me with some of the most essential tools, which today helps me be better both professionally and personally. I really look forward to the next opportunity I get to work with her! It will no doubt be another enriching and exciting experience.

Gerhard
Digital Creative

Gwynedd ensures that she knows not only your business, but you. This enables her to understand the decisions you make, but also to provide effective coaching in addressing the behaviour patterns that do not serve you or your business… I can unequivocally recommend Gwynedd as a Career Management Coach, but also a HR Business Partner…I have learnt that the work you do on yourself as a business owner and your business is never really complete and I’m looking forward to continuing the journey with Gwynedd.

Christia
Business Owner

Gwynedd joined…at a time when our rapidly growing business urgently needed operational systems and recruitment practices, which would assist us in reaching our growth targets and manage change effectively throughout this transition…She was tasked with the planning and implementation of an organisational restructure, setting the company up for national expansion in the same year….Her extensive labour knowledge and vigorous HR practices contributed positively towards the company bottom-line by managing risk for our business.

Jacques
Managing Director

I recently had the privilege to be coached by Gwynedd Theron, the best thing about her approach is that she gives practical exercises to aid in your progress. Her knowledge of how to present yourself professionally has been most helpful and her guidance definitely inspires positive change.
