Offering 02 · Entry Point · Bi-Weekly

Conversational Talks
With the Founder

Not coaching — conversation. A live 45-minute talk hosted personally by Nomveliso on a topic that matters to your teenager right now. Unscripted. Direct. The same format as the Teencoached™ Circle's Teencoaching Conversations — with one difference: this is Nomveliso herself, not a coach on rotation.

This is the lowest-commitment way to experience the founder's voice and methodology before deciding whether a deeper engagement is right for your family. Your teenager listens, engages, and asks questions directly. Access is by priority list invitation only — distinct from the open Teencoaching Conversations.

Not the Full Coaching Container Conversational Talks are an entry point — not a substitute for coaching. There is no goal-setting, no tracking, no between-session support. It is a live conversation with the founder. That is its value.
Offering 02 · Bi-Weekly · By Invitation
Conversational
Talks
Grades 8–11 45 Minutes Bi-Weekly Live · Founder-Hosted
Live talks on topics that matter — identity, pressure, purpose, ambition, relationships, family dynamics. Hosted personally by Nomveliso bi-weekly. Your teenager shows up, listens, and asks questions directly.

Offering 04 · Quarterly · By Application

The Parenting Circle

Offering 04 · Quarterly · Max 8
Parenting
Circle
Quarterly Max 8 Parents Founder-Led By Application Only
A quarterly, deeply personal gathering for parents — closer in depth to a one-day retreat than a monthly check-in. Topics and focus are personalised and customised to the attendees each quarter. Spaces are chosen deliberately, not first-come, first-served. This is not a general parenting workshop. It is a curated room.
R5,500
/ quarterly session
Quarterly · Max 8 parents · Topics customised per cohort
Apply via Priority List →

The Parenting Circle exists because parents are often the untouched part of the equation. A teenager changes in the coaching room, at the retreat, in the Teencoached™ Circle — and then goes home to a parent who is still operating from the same patterns.

The Parenting Circle is not about fixing parents. It is about equipping them — with language, with tools, with a room full of other parents who are doing the same reckoning. Nomveliso facilitates. The cohort does the work. The combination of both is what makes it irreplaceable.

Applications are reviewed personally. The eight parents in each cohort are chosen with the group in mind — because who is in the room shapes what becomes possible.
