WHAT WE DO

We’re all about helping you evolve consciously for real growth and impact.

Do you have the vision and the strategy in place, but find that your team is still not achieving the impact you had hoped for?

We understand that true growth and high impact are not just products of a vision and strategy, but also of healthy organisational systems and people dynamics, and their capacity to evolve consciously.

At Umusa Consulting, we take a holistic approach to development; guiding individuals, teams, and organizations and empowering them to unlock their full potential and achieve sustainable success.

WE USE POLYVAGAL THEORY

Our approach is rooted in polyvagal theory—illuminating the intricate connection between our nervous system, behaviour, and emotional well-being. By harnessing the principles of polyvagal theory, we equip you with the tools to understand your nervous system, self-regulate, and gain greater autonomy over your reactions. Through this understanding and practice, you will strengthen your ability to intuit and discern, paving the way for profound personal and professional growth.

We’re here to support individuals and organizations on their journey to feeling fulfilled, aligned, and making a difference.

Our foundation

“Umusa” is a deeply ingrained cultural concept in Zulu society that promotes the virtues of compassion, kindness, and empathy as essential values for building strong and supportive communities.

The concept of Umusa and the powerful words attributed to Nelson Mandela, “I believe that in the end, it is kindness and generous accommodation that are the catalysts for real change.” have had a profound influence on the approach we take in supporting our clients.

We believe that great things happen when we are…

Kind

Acting from a place of kindness ensures that we are aiming for positive transformation.

Conscious

Consciously observing what is happening in and around us heightens our awareness.

Playful

Accessing our playfulness helps us be more creative and find solutions.

Empowering

Empowering ourselves and others helps us achieve the evolution we are aiming for.
