Who this is for

For coaches ready to be honest about where they are

• You have been coaching for three years or more, with real clients behind you, and you now purposefully and intentionally want to grow your practice into something tangible that carries your own signature.
• You are open to vulnerability, because the work begins with an honest look at where you are right now, including where your business sits financially. We start with your real numbers on day one and track your growth to the last day.
• You can hold the discomfort of your own progress, or the lack of it, without hiding behind it or fearing judgement. Nobody in this room needs to look like they are doing better than they are.
• You welcome tough conversations, you are willing to challenge yourself and your own growth, and you are ready to be honest with yourself about where you are and where you need to be.
• You enjoy deep, reflective work and you are not looking for surface-level answers, because a signature programme can only come from a coach who has done the work of knowing themselves.

What it is

From "just a coach" to a method that is yours

Over six months, you turn the way you already work into a named method and a signature coaching programme of your own, built from your own story, your roots and your way of seeing people. Then you test it with real clients, price it and take it to market, so that one day it can become the foundation for training other coaches in your method.

It is one programme in two parts, and you join for the full six months from the start. The first part makes sure the ground is solid, and the second builds your signature programme on that ground.

Part 1 · The Coach's Path (months 1 to 3)

We look honestly at where you really are as a person, as a coach and as a business, and we strengthen the foundations a signature programme needs: your niche, your strategy and the way you bring your work to market.

1. Your roots and who you are as a coach, what your family taught you about work, money and being seen, and where you really are on the Coach's Path, with an honest financial baseline
2. Your niche, and naming the method you already use
3. Your coaching strategy, your signature programme in outline, a pricing methodology, and a pilot offer, with sales support to enrol your pilot clients

Part 2 · By Design (months 4 to 6)

You design your signature programme in full, test it with pilot clients while we review the results together, and leave ready to launch.

1. Designing your signature programme from intake to completion, and starting your pilots
2. Reviewing your pilots as they run, refining what needs to change, and packaging your programme
3. Your pilot results, marketing and visibility, your launch plan, and presenting your signature programme to the group

About me

Nomveliso Mbanga

Everything I do is rooted in an indigenous framework. My methodology and philosophy start from cultural identity: who you are, where you come from, and what your family and community taught you. That is why I call myself an Indigenous Identity Strategist™.

I used almost thirty years of experience with young people, families and communities to create my own niche, and since 2015 I have worked in it formally through Mayine Development Institute. I turned my way of working into the Nomveliso Mbanga Teencoaching™ methodology, had it ICF-accredited, and built a certification programme from it. Today it is a full business ecosystem, with certification programmes, licensed associate coaches, trademarks in four countries, about twenty-two retreats, the Indigenously Rising podcast and my handbook, The Business of Coaching in Africa.

Before Mayine, I worked in corporate, in structural engineering, insurance, Sekunjalo Investments and Shoprite Holdings, and then spent six years at the Allan Gray Orbis Foundation designing programmes and camps and mentoring scholars from Grade 8 into tertiary. I founded Mayine in 2015, at thirty-nine, with no blueprint to follow. So I built one.

"I'm not teaching you theory. I'm showing you a map I've walked."

Why work with me

I have built what you are about to build

Many people teach coaches how to run a business. Very few have designed an accredited methodology from their own culture, certified other coaches in it, and filled rooms with the hardest clients there are. I have done all three.

My signature gift: I see the coach in you before you do

I can look at a person and see where their real strength lies, often long before they believe it themselves. Then I give that strength a shape, a structure and a price, so it becomes concrete work they can sell.

This is what I will do for each coach in this room.
