Glimmer founder, Shelley-Ann Pieterse, is proud to be a female leader in the technology, consulting and coaching arena. As a Managing Director at Accenture, a global technology consulting company, she specialised in large-scale technology transformations and has sold and delivered multiple projects both globally and locally during her 22 year consulting career. Her experience and successful track record spans industries and countries, working with both large and small teams. She therefore understands and has lived the personal and professional challenges in navigating the business landscape.
"I have been working with my own coaches for almost 20 years, but their impact was really felt when I was heading towards burnout for the second time and knew something had to fundamentally change. My coaches and mentors were invaluable in helping me navigate through deep losses in my personal life, times of transition in my career and finding my way to a healthier and happier version of myself.
The coaching impact was so profound that I was drawn towards completing my life and business coaching certifications so I could help those who are in similar situations as I was. The business coaching certification added to the existing business experience I've accumulated in my career, while the life coaching certification provides me with a solid base to coach the whole person, personally and professionally. ​​​
​
Apart from the multiple formal certifications, what I believe qualifies me as an excellent coach is my extensive experience in:
1. coaching, mentoring and guiding the careers of individuals in my teams, both locally and globally
2. navigating the corporate landscape which resulted in my own promotions and success as a Managing Director
3. managing a business across sales and delivery, including delivering profitable financials and satisfied clients."
Shelley is passionate about personal development and her goal is to help people transform their realities, so she is continuously learning and adding to her knowledge base, methodologies and toolsets. Her most recent additions to life and business coaching are certifications in:
1. Stress Management
2. Transformation
3. Enneagram
4. Productivity
