Meet Me
I am Colleen Wilson.
Enneagram 5 deep-diver of information for transformation. Passionate teacher and student of all things life, love, leadership.
I am mum of two magnificent & complex humans (15 & 20) and 2 dogs and a cat and I live in South Africa with my hubby Mike – this year we share 25 years together. My own struggles in my relationship, with my kids, with my health have given me rich experience and I walk my work which I can’t really call work because what I do in ‘work’ is what I do in ‘life’ too. My life is values based and driven to healthy outcomes, such is my work with you too.
I’ve enjoyed extensive business experience through founding and running my own businesses in fashion, BEE consulting & verification, training , mentoring, coaching and consulting. I’ve chaired the board of an NGO, sat on the board of a hospitality business, and performed as the Company CEO through the stormy seas of COVID.
I am double business degreed with my honours cum laude. I have studied multiple leadership and feminine and conscious leadership courses, multiple trauma, nervous system and stress related courses, I’ve dipped into beautiful healing arts such as reiki, touch for health and access bars. I have spent years immersing in the sciences of relationship (interpersonalneurobiology) and parenting and people.
I am a qualified EQ, relationship, Enneagram, purpose, systemic, leadership and life coach and an all-round, passionate life-long learner. I also work and teach what I most needed to know and what relates to my lived experiences, so my knowledge is backed by a deep, resonate understanding.
My Why
My why can best be explained by this quote from Elena Brower “Every hardship is here to teach us how to dance with this life.. So when some semblance of failure rises up, remember what it means to shine your light!”
My life and work as transformation consultant, coach, speaker, trainer and mentor uses nervous system literacy and the enneagram to truly know ourselves, know the environments needed to bring out the best in ourselves and others and to navigate through struggle into the light. I have a special interest in working with leaders, parents and teachers who are leading people struggling with their mental health and with neurodivergence & for these leaders, parents and teachers to understand how to create environments at work, home and in schools that are conducive to nervous system restoration and regulation so that their people with complexity can be helped not harmed by these environments. I am passionate about all of us being able to live into the full expression of us and taking the darkest times as invitations to shine our lights.

How do we bring out the best in others? Be they our partners, staff, children or students?
And how especially do we do that in the face of immense challenges, be it from mental health struggles, neurodivergence or whatever it is life is throwing at us that can feel intolerably hard?
