“Sensory Intelligence” started in my head in 2000 when I returned to South Africa after living in the USA for 3 years. After loads of thinking, reading, contemplating and gathering information, I chose the name for my brainchild, opened my bank account and produced my first business cards. Google searches (back in 2002) showed no references to Sensory Intelligence in training, personal development or learning. The end result of this journey of creation – combining current theories and merging it with insights, knowledge, experience and research gathered up to then – have blossomed into what Sensory Intelligence® Consulting is all about today. It has taken continuous commitment and relentless hard work: literally years spent behind my computer, talking to people and organisations, trying, testing, more trying, more testing to realize the development of the business model it is today.

During 2007 I wrote the book: “Sensory intelligence, why it matters more than IQ and EQ”, and in 2012 I obtained my PhD through the University of Cape Town. I did a correlation study in South African call centres to determine the relationship between sensory assesss and performance. Although the journey has been long, tough and hard, I would not change it for anything!

While I started training parents and teachers, our services have expanded to call centres and corporate environments. Our primary objective is to empower and equip individuals, teams and organisations to be more connected, improve wellness and increase productivity, by providing insights of how the human brain processes sensory messages and increasing self-awareness and self-management.
We do:

• online sensory assessments
• workshops
• seminars
• coaching in the education-, call centre- and corporate environment, for both teams and individuals
• sensory audits and space optimisation consultations for organisations, especially where open plan offices are the norm
