Ubuntu is a philosophy that says we are all connected. It's a way of looking at things that emphasizes love, not just in our relationships but also in our community, and it's based on the idea that we can't do everything ourselves. It asks us to share more with others, and to work together more often.  

The Ubuntu philosophy is very powerful when applied to coaching.

On today's show, I am joined by Nobantu Mpotulo, THE authority when it comes to Ubuntu coaching. We will explore the power of Ubuntu coaching and we will explore ways in which ubuntu coaching can help you get closer to your goals and dreams.
