VISION & MISSION

At Live Your Dash Coaching & Consulting, our mission is clear: to empower you, especially school leavers, students and young professionals, to navigate life’s transitions with confidence and clarity. Whether you're facing career changes, personal milestones, or seeking a new direction, I provide the support and tools necessary to survive these changes and thrive through them.


As a person of color who grew up during the transformative period of post-Apartheid South Africa, I carry a unique perspective influenced by the challenges and triumphs of that era. My recent transition to life in Amsterdam has further broadened my understanding of cultural dynamics and social integration. Drawing from these rich and diverse experiences, I am committed to advocating for and fostering diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB).


Our mission is deeply rooted in these principles, aiming to create environments where diverse perspectives are not only acknowledged but celebrated. We strive to empower individuals and communities by breaking down barriers, challenging the status quo, and building bridges across cultural divides. Through our work, we are dedicated to building a more inclusive world where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.


I firmly believe that true success is achieved by aligning your life and career with your values and purpose. Our personalized coaching, which blends leadership development, emotional intelligence, and career strategies, provides actionable insights for everyday success. With our compassionate, non-judgmental support, we are here to help you achieve your life and career goals and unlock your full potential.

TESTIMONIALS


Brandon W

Before I teamed up with Zona, I was pretty much a mess. My mood was in the dumps, I was anxious about not knowing what was coming next, and I just wasn’t feeling my career choice anymore.


It was like having a conversation with someone who got me, and who didn’t judge. I would recommend Zona to anyone who’s feeling lost or down about where they’re heading in life. She has this knack for listening, really listening, and then throwing out insights and steps that make you think, “Wow, why didn’t I see that before?”


The biggest “aha” moment for me was realizing that a lot of my unhappiness and lack of drive was tied to being on a career path that just didn’t fit who I am. Zona helped me see the dots and connect them in a way that made sense.

"I was struggling with depression and social anxiety and was seeing a therapist for this. In addition, I had 1:1 coaching sessions with Zona, and thanks to her support, my days feel brighter and I learned valuable coping strategies. l changed my habits to include exercising, journaling, and surrounding myself with supportive and positive people.


My time with Zona was incredibly uplifting. Being heard and cared for made a huge difference, reminding me that I'm seen and valued. I left each session feeling more understood and less alone in my struggles.


I'd recommend Zona to anyone facing similar challenges. In a world that often overlooks mental well-being, she provides a trusting space and practical lessons in self-care and resilience."

Marine H

"Before my session with Zona, I was stuck in a cycle of financial stress, with a budget that never worked out and a reliance on lending money that made me feel inadequate.

I was skeptical about how Zona could help when nothing else had worked, but she quickly made me feel hopeful and supported, without any judgment. She guided me through each step with patience.

a

What stood out was Zona's calmness, even when I felt overwhelmed and like giving up. She asked tough questions that I needed to face for my growth. The turning point was realizing the root of my financial issues.


I learned to put my and my family's needs first. With her encouragement, I took action and changed my financial situation for the better."
