  • Learn Emotional Intelligence & Self Awareness: Interview with Career Coach Natasha Frank

    Join this live interview and Q&A with Natasha Frank; learn all about emotional intelligence and self awareness.   More about Natasha: https://natashafrank.co.za/ "I’m Natasha Frank, affectionately known as Tash.  With over a decade of corporate and consulting experience blended with the struggle of entrepreneurship, I have navigated my own career development journey with chapters of both confusion and clarity.  I am a registered Psychometrist with the Health Professions Council of South Africa. I also hold a professional designation with the South African Career Development Association. In my work I use psychometric assessments, narrative career counselling and experiential learning to help my clients make informed career decisions.  I get out of bed in the morning to help people discover who they are now to become more of who they are not yet so that they can maximise their potential and impact the world.  It all starts with exploring who you are and understanding what is happening in the world around you. We take a look at everything together to figure out how it all makes sense for you.  I have been a full-time student, a part-time student, employed, unemployed and most recently a solopreneur. I have worked in several places – from a hospital, a prison, a counselling centre, even the cabin of a train, to the impressive corporate world with all its charm and stature, and now to a spot somewhere in my home navigating the complexity of work in a pandemic survivor world.  I have a colourful career with many rich experiences, so I get what it means to navigate student life, establish a professional brand, meet the demands of a fast-paced work environment and hustle so you can pay the bills. I know what it’s like to feel the highs and lows of it all, but also to just go through the motions … until you get to a point where you are searching for something more."

    Natasha helps people discover who they are now to become more of who they are not yet.  It all starts with an exploration of the self – what you’re good at, what you could spend hours doing, how you got to where you are, what keeps you motivated, what’s important to you and so much more.
