CEO and Founder of PerformForward and Lead Coach

Leadership Enablement, Coaching & Facilitation
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.
The highlight of my experience was learning about emotional intelligence, which has truly been on eye-opening journey that has facilitated tremendous personal growth. Additionally, creating a vision board has empowered me to prioritize and set meaningful goals.
“Innocente is an excellent professional who is passionate about organisational performance and culture. She brings great value to business in her areas of expertise.”
“In 2018 we made a decision to engage with Innocente, wow! what a stroke of luck. Her positive approach energized our management team and workforce. For once our employees felt they belonged and started to ‘care’ about our business. This increased productivity, reduced wastage, and resulted in better relationships in the company, improved margins, and happy shareholders. We were stuck in the past and would not have been in a position to survive the devastating state of our economy if we didn’t follow the advice from Innocent and accept more current HR approaches.”
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!
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 attend a business coaching session presented by Innocente (PerformForward), to be frank I assumed it would be just another one of those long-winded meetings you can’t wait to get out of. Innocente however was amazing, really made it worth attending, actively engaging with all who attended and challenged us on various levels. I personally learnt not only about myself but about managing various people, situations and cultures morning session.I was extremely impressed and if offered the opportunity would definitely attend again.”
I learnt to approach my actions with intention. The most valuable aspect for me was developing emotional intelligence, which facilitated meaningful self-reflection — something I hadn’t engaged in much before.
“Innocente’s role at VentureWeb was focused on learning, of which an offshoot was performance management. We worked collaboratively to overhaul performance management throughout the organisation, across all levels, all departments and all geographies. This required changing mindsets around performance management, shedding old and traditional performance systems which were no longer relevant to our organisation, and ensuring the new program was underpinned by a strong foundation which drove the right behaviours and values. Innocente was integral to supporting the change management globally, and worked hard to ensure new ideologies were practically supported with the right technology. Innocente was a key contributor in this tinitiative and nurtured its success from beginning to end.”
Discovering the immense value of organisation through this course has transformed my perspective, allowing me to save time, reduce anxiety and thrive amidst chaos.
