About Lynelle

Lynelle Smith BA (Ind Psych), BA Hons (Psych), PDCHyp (BMHEB), NLP™
Coach & Human Capital Consultant

Having attended art school with a major in Ballet, I have, as part of my dancing career, performed many leading roles in some of South Africa’s major theatres. At a young age I already realized that rising to the top takes a positive attitude, perseverance, discipline and hard work. With a great interest in the human mind and people’s well-being, especially their performance in organizations, I set out to start readying myself for a career in helping people build resilience and strive courageously to reach their dreams.

In 1991 I graduated with a BA in Communications & Industrial Psychology. After having filled PR and Marketing positions at KWV and RMB Fund Managers, I left for London with the intent to have fun before settling down in a career. As it turned out, during my 4-year stay in London I completed my Practitioner Diploma in Clinical Hypnosis, and practiced as a Clinical Hypnotherapist from the London Medical Centre in Harley Street for 2 years. I returned to South Africa in 2001, and, for the next 3 years, worked in strong financial and corporate environments whilst studying towards a BA Hons (Psychology) degree. After my studies I shifted my focus to a modality which fitted the theory behind Positive Psychology … Coaching.

Feeling very comfortably coaching all levels of corporate and non-corporate individuals, the majority of my clients, however, are Professional individuals and Entrepreneurs in the SME market.

I am a Licensed NLP Practitioner trained by Richard Bandler, currently established as a Life, Business & Executive Coach, offering sessions in both English and Afrikaans. Even though I prefer to coach face-to-face, I also offer telecall sessions to clients globally. I now continually train following a recognised ICF credential pathway to strengthen my coaching capabilities.

“Coaching is not just about achieving your goals, its about what you become in order to achieve it! Using a Cognitive Behaviour slant together with a well-researched Neuro-Scientific Brain-Based Approach for coaching, I help people develop to their highest potential, in person and in business. I strive to help them reach higher … away from the mediocre towards the exceptional. My passion is to help people pursue their dreams and ambitions with courage and drive and will assist them to accomplish, develop and achieve more, faster. I want my clients to succeed, feel fulfilled and be happy because I believe life is to be lived with a powerfully alive mind and spirit for as much as it is possible!"
