This always-on culture can be a major roadblock to well-being, making stress and burnout all too common. But is this really the best way to work? If this sounds familiar, it's time to elevate your leadership skills—whether you're leading others or yourself.

In our relentless race against time, we often don’t:

  • Pause to reflect and learn from our experiences.

  • Feel we have the time to plan effectively.

  • Gather all the necessary information before making decisions.

  • Have anyone to bounce ideas off because everyone is too busy.

  • Take the time to get to know our team members' strengths and interests.

Personalised Leadership Coaching

At PerformForward, we believe in the power of purpose and contribution as the cornerstones of a fulfilling life. Without these, effort and impact lose meaning, and joy and fulfilment remain elusive. We understand that every day spent feeling less-than, incomplete, or lacking goes against our human nature and the ability to perform.

We believe that everyone is unique and possesses potential beyond their current level of self-awareness. By guiding you to understand your potential, talents, and strengths and supporting you in learning how to develop and apply these, we help you close the loop on purpose and contribution, leading to days full of life and fulfilment.

I recently had some coaching sessions with Innocente and all I can say is wow! The sessions were extremely powerful and have changed the life in many positive ways. Innocente has a gift of being able to ask powerful questions and then quickly guiding you to the core of any issues. She then uses her pragmatism and any relevant data to work with you towards the best solution. I recommend her to anyone who wants to improve their performance or requires any coaching.

Accenture Song Global People Communications and Engagement Lead

Amazing coaching experience. Innocente has the ability, as coach, to prompt the right conversation that makes one access those aha moments naturally and easily.
I recently did the Gallop Strengths test with her, which she helped me unpack in such understandable, practical and easy fashion - this made me realise that, what I thought was “wrong” with me, is actually what is “right” with me. Since then, being aware of my strengths (and certain blind spots), made me more confident in my job, and in general. I would recommend Innocent in a heartbeat!

Innocente owns her knowledge and deep understanding of what drives our behaviour and how we motivate ourselves and interact with others. Her enthusiasm and insight was a sure guide for me to take that next step, own my unique abilities and be the best that I can be. If you are ready to make some changes that will last, that are meaningful and sustainable, you will be hard-pressed to find a better partner!

Many people ask this question when dealing with professional coaches, leadership or business mentors… "But what qualifies them to teach me things?" In this case for the first time since (in my experience of such) while working with Innocente, she has given me an authentic no holds barred approach to perspective and challenging me in important views of business, life and all the facets thereof. She doesn’t claim to be a Forbes CEO because if that where the case how would she then be able to stand removed and give true perspective? You can’t see it clearly always if you are part of it….What separates Innocente in my experience is her authentic and genuine understanding of what her parameters and boundaries on that basis are.

I value you deeply and am excited for the robust and thought provoking conversations ahead.

Where is the 5 star button?

“I had the privilege of getting to know Innocente during her Gallup Strengths Coaches training. From the start, it was clear that she is extremely passionate about helping her clients become the best they can be. Her commitment to understanding how people think, feel and behave is beyond impressive. It is inspiring. I have no doubt that she is a great coach to have.”

“We contracted Innocente to work with our organisation to define and implement our company culture. Innocente came with great enthusiasm; she worked alongside our MANCO team in defining our culture by reinforcing and defining our organisation’s core values and supported us in the implementation thereof. Innocente’s invaluable ability to entrust our people to open up to her, which, in turn, created the required and valued feedback that formalised our culture. This program, led by Innocente, brought new energy to Interfile. Our values now form a common language at Interfile, ensuring we go about our daily tasks with passion and enthusiasm and with our mission statement in mind: “To make a Difference.”Interfile culture program has continued to evolve and develop around our company values, environment and expectations.So, when defining the key attributes of a “Coach,” they include being positive, enthusiastic, supportive, trusting, focused, goal-orientated, knowledgeable, observant, respectful, patient, and a clear communicator. Innocente ticks each and every one of those boxes. Thank you for “Making a Difference””

“Before I met Innocente, 2 years ago, the only way I knew how to articulate who I was and who the people around me were was in reference to personalities. Having worked with her in a personal and professional capacity for over a year, I have found that her method of communication and her strengths in coaching techniques allow for insight beyond what I am able to find on my own. I would recommend Innocente for anyone looking to understand themselves better to be an effective leader, empathic listener and energised performer. Emotional Intelligence is her forte!”
