SHCC is a deeply valued and trusted strategic thought partner for NMNW. Having worked together since 2019, Danie has contributed across a spectrum of areas including culture development, team strategy and effectiveness, facilitation, and coaching.

I have had the gift of Danie’s partnership as my coach for the last 4 years. I honestly can’t imagine navigating without Danie at my side. He is the most talented listener (I’m a rambling storyteller), and as he makes his colour-coded notes, he synthesises and then plays back that which I haven’t been able to see, making connections, looping round and bringing things forward so that I can consider new approaches.

Even on the occasions when I didn’t think I “needed” a session, or thought I had nothing to discuss, I’ve ended off our time together acknowledging and appreciating how much I did indeed need it! He is well read, researched and resourceful, and generous in sharing. A most non-judgmental, wise and gracious person, Danie is a strong and incredibly talented coach and journeying with him is a gift everyone deserves. – Heidi Brauer previously CM, Hollard Insurance
