...when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at - change...
Hi there, and welcome to my world :-) There
comes a time in each of our lives when we take an introspective look at who we are, where we are, what we've achieved, where we're going and, perhaps most importantly.... what impact we want to make during our all-too-short time on earth. The
Sunflower Organisation is the result of my personal journey and my desire to live the life I want, while making a meaningful
contribution to those around me. My passions include teaching (in general) and life coaching in particular. I absolutely love
being involved in the personal transformations of people (who are
ready, willing and able to change) into all they can
be. I also specialise in consulting to people starting-up or transforming their businesses (often in a mentoring role) and assisting companies and individuals with goal setting. I am actively involved at Bryanston High School where I'm currently vice-chair of the School Governing Body. I occasionally work with the amazing and inspiring Vasintha Pather in
delivering Graphic Facilitation sessions to her growing list of
Corporate and "blue-chip" clients. Vasintha started, and still heads-up, inter-arise -
a company that enables collective effectiveness. This is only one of
the numerous valuable courses offerd by inter-arise, aimed at enhancing
individual and organisational effectiveness. I've
been involved in live radio and television broadcasting for many years,
setting-up several radio stations (Solid Gold, Buwa FM, East Wave, Mix FM) and was part of the team that got South Africa's most
successful community televison station off-the-ground (Soweto TV). In
2008 I sold my business (which I started ten years earlier) providing
in-store radio and television to large corporations (most notably the
entire Edcon Group - Edgars, Jet, CNA, Boardmans Etc, but clients also included Ster-Kinekor, parastatal Transnet and creative and exciting mining-house Harmony Gold's Nic Alexandre. I then took a nice long sabbatical to spend more time with my three
children (yip, I'm a full-time single parent too)) and I take more frequent and longer holidays with them. I
recently got re-involved in my old business (AirMedia),
but as a minor shareholder, leaving me lots of time to continue
spending with my children, consulting for small businesses, coaching individual seeking to live the lives they want, writing, taking photographs, teaching art, painting, drawing and
traveling.
Most mornings you'll find me enjoying my coffee, morning paper and sudoku at my local Mugg & Bean.
How can I assist you to live the life you want? Yours Gavin Kennedy Johannesburg, South Africa
